Oliver North to be NRA's new president

Oliver North, the Fox News contributor and central figure in the Iran-Contra scandal, will be the National Rifle Association's new president, the group announced Monday.

Nothing says responsible gun ownership lie the avatar for botched weapons smuggling scheme that almost brought down the White House.

And Grover Norquist is out, totally not because his wife is a Muslim from Palestine.

Nothing says responsible gun ownership like vacated felony conviction.

Don't forget patriotically destroying evidence of your crimes

...for America.

It would be really awkward if the NRA President couldn't legally own firearms.

Dana tweeted

"Thrilled about the Oliver North news. A total warrior for freedom, this is the last person that anti-gun advocates would want as the new President of the NRA board."

It wouldn't surprise me. Their decision making process seems to based around answering yes to the question, "Does it trigger the libs in our minds?"

Considering that they have a psychotic, drug-addled, rock-star wannabe as their most recognizable public face and a spokescretin who argues that revolvers are automatic weapons, this seems like a good fit.

Ah, the Bully Decision-Making Methodology.

It only triggers me to believe they're as dumb as liberals think they are. I mean, for an organization that purports to support law and order, you'd think their president could at least not have been convicted of a felony.

I'm pretty sure Oliver North is white.

George Zimmerman turned it down?

At least this one will have some knowledge of how to use firearms, unlike the current executive VP.

 

[Trebuchet]

Hey, if he was good enough for Fox News, he's good enough for the NRA. And won't be able to claim Alzheimer's, like one of their previous presidents.

At least this one will have some knowledge of how to use firearms, unlike the current executive VP.

And experience selling them, to boot!

Popehat, as usual, nails it:

You have to feel a little sorry for the candidates the NRA ultimately passed up: G. Gordon Liddy, James Watt, Ed Meese, Skeletor, and Lyle and Eric Menendez.

Popehat, as usual, nails it:

I preferred:

Not sure why I wasn’t considered for NRA prez. I shout at video games. I blame movies for things. I don’t like kids. I prosper when people are afraid.

And this is a concern of nonmembers of the club why?

And this is a concern of nonmembers of the club why?

Because the "club" has a ridiculous amount of political power in the US and works against any proposed gun control law.

 

[Upchurch]

Because the "club" has a ridiculous amount of political power in the US...

Ridiculous and disproportionate. Hopefully, this bizarre amount of influence is now waning.
