Special Report: What Does Wayne LaPierre Do For His Approximately $1,000,000 a Year?


-snip-

Most gun owners would be floored to know that the NRA Executive Vice-President makes $633,823 in salary, plus another $258,343 in benefits in 2004 (Gun Guys has obtained the NRA’s 990 form from 2004– to read it, click here). It is possible that his total compensation package from the NRA for 2005 exceeded $1 million (the 2005 tax reports are not yet available).

In fact, it takes more than 35,000 NRA membership renewals (at $25 a piece) just to cover LaPierre’s 2004 compensation package. 35,000 NRA memberships spent on one guy, all before a single freedom cruise sets sail.

It begs the question: has the NRA, under Wayne LaPierre, turned itself into a money making machine to fund LaPierre’s lavish lifestyle? Is LaPierre creating issues harmful to American security to make his excessive salary and compensation package seem justified, given that is earned at the expense of the sweat and labor of the NRA membership?

The NRA’s new campaign has nothing to do with “the right to keep and bear arms” and is simply a public relations campaign to raise money. As LaPierre’s compensation package indicates, the NRA has become an organization that is centered on perpetuating its own existence and the rich and famous lifestyles of its executives.

america, the land of con men

[DBoon]

1. He keeps white rural men from voting Democratic

by convincing them that their gun ownership:
- is threatened by Democrats
- Is more important than anything else

this makes him worth every penny of his pay to the republicans

[Inland]

2. Proving you don't need to pull a gun to commit a robberty, apparently. nt

[gratuitous]

3. Glad none of my money is paying him

I wonder if any NRA members ever wonder about this and bring it up at their meetings?
