But what’s truly unthinkable is that it may soon be led by someone even more extreme than Wayne LaPierre, who has run the NRA since 1991. Business Insider reported that Donald Trump Jr. may be eyeing a run for the NRA’s chief leadership position.
Trump Jr. and LaPierre have a fair amount in common—from wrongly billing their constituents for personal expenses to siding with gun manufacturers on the deregulation of gun silencers. But whether the NRA is led by Donald Trump Jr. or anyone else, we expect they will continue to pursue an extreme ‘guns everywhere’ agenda into 2021 and beyond.
The NRA acknowledged, in a tax filing, improper excessive benefits to Wayne LaPierre in approximately $300,000 in travel expenses which had been billed to the NRA.
