Oliver North speaks at the National Rifle Assn. gathering in Indianapolis. He was not present when his statement was read announcing he was quitting as president.
In a statement read to members of the group Saturday, North said he believes a committee should be set up to review the NRA’s finances. North was not present at the meeting when the statement was read by Richard Childress, the NRA’s first vice president.“There is a clear crisis, and it needs to be dealt with” if the NRA is to survive, North’s statement said.
North, best known for his role in the Iran-Contra scandal of the 1980s, is nearing the end of his first one-year term. LaPierre got two standing ovations from the crowd of more than 1,000 NRA members before giving a scheduled speech after North’s announcement. He began by using standard NRA talking points, going after the mainstream media and lawmakers who seek more restrictive gun laws. He did not mention his feud with North.
He was known as crazy Wayne down at the bus depot after midnight.
Time for an NRA shoot-out? A good guy with a gun vs a bad guy with a gun — they like that.
Is it time for NRA members to take down their framed 8X10s of Oliver North?
