The National Rifle Association claims to speak for more than 5 million gun owners. But most of the shots at the organization are called by a hush-hush board of 76 directors. The majority are nominated by a top-down process and elected by a small fraction of the organization's life members.

Since 2013, when we last looked at the NRA's board, only five new members have joined. Two of them, Timothy Knight and Sean Maloney, played roles in the successful 2013 effort to recall two Colorado lawmakers who had voted for stronger gun laws. (A complete list of current board members is at the bottom of the page.)

by the numbers

Overall, the NRA board members are 93 percent white and 86 percent men. Most are hunters, shoot competitively, or for sport. About a third are current or former lawmakers or government officials. About one-tenth are entertainers or athletes; nine percent own, work for, or promote gun companies. Here's a breakdown of the current board, based on bios posted by the NRA (since deleted) and other sources:

According to the NRA's own tax documents, all of its board members reside at the office of its general counsel. Here's where they actually hail from:

2. Fuck Selleck.

3. A nobody of an actor known for one supporting role.

The NRA is like Scientology. They recruit 'celebrities' to make them seem normal.

4. Ugh, thats one of the reasons why I don't watch anything with Selleck in it.

Also, if the NRA was so sure of everyone bearing arms why don't they allow them at their headquarters?

5. The bottom two get a pass...

...they're lunatics but at least they walked the walk. However the top two? When their generations war came the first shit his pants and the second found his way into the National Guard...
