Wayne LaPierre made $5million in 2015 ????

[Josh3239]

I'd gladly sign off on more compensation if actually something was done to help gun owners. Not when a veil has been put over our eyes and we're taken for suckers.

That is a bit out of place. I don't see anyone suggesting he earn more compensation.

But please explain this veil. Under LaPierre the NRA has successfully won McDonald and Heller which affirmed the individuals 2nd Amendment rights and took down a few handgun bans. 21 laws passed prohibiting gun confiscations during emergencies, 12 castle doctrine laws passed, 7 range protection laws, 6 laws that states have passed prohibiting municipalities from excessive regulations. How about Doe vs San Francisco Housing?

I think you are taking a lot for granted. The idea that Wayne LaPierre has been ineffective in helping gun owners is absolutely absurd.

How does 2A works out for you in your sate?

I for one am sated with the effort that the NRA is putting into California. The problem here is gun owners that don't make the effort to help fight or vote democrat.
The NRA is only as strong as it's membership, why do I get the feeling that you aren't doing your part? Are you one of those that believe the BS and have been suckered into believing that the NRA isn't fighting in CA?

I'm curious how often he actually gets to go out and enjoy a day at the range, or in the field pursuing some fresh wild organic dinner of whatever flavor he prefers?

I bet far less often than us!

How much are California's government employees retirement packages ?

[chestnut250]

He earns that money. As so many before stated, I wouldn't want his job, he is under fire constantly and the whipping post for the left. I have no issue with his salary, he both works and suffers for it.

I have no idea how well, or how poorly he is at leading the NRA internally, but I cringe every time I see him out front as our main spokesman. He comes off as an angry old white guy, which is the last thing we need from a PR standpoint. I like Dana a lot, but she can come off as hard and sharp.. I'd like to see someone like Colion Noir get a more prominent role as spokesperson for the org. $5M/yr seems high but not so much to argue about it, sure the job isn't easy, but I'd gladly take the abuse for 2 years for $10M, and then spend the next 10 years lying on my private beach to "recover". Where do I sign up? ;-)

[chestnut250]

repomanNWP You make a good point. I still don't see a problem with the salary amount but I do agree that Colion Noir should have a bigger voice for the organization. Showing the diversity the NRA has would be a good move since society is so polarized right now. LaPierre does have the outward appearance of an angry old white man... maybe the NRA should get Dom (someone who served in the military and has outstanding moral character, as well as being well voiced) or Colion (someone educated, articulate, personable, and a minority) in a greater spokesperson role.

CEO of Blackstone got 800M last year.

What is Jerry Browns new worth from a life of sucking off of the taxpayers largess? Why are the States unionized government employees bankrupting the state with their pay and pensions??

[mlukanovich]

I didn't see it in a previous post, but if I missed it sorry for being repetitive.
The $5M included a mandated one time retirement fund payout of nearly $4M. His salary is roughly $1M. That's in line with many organizations the size of the NRA. In addition that year the revenue of the NRA rose dramatically. Seems he's more than earning his salary.
