Wayne LaPierre had become the NRA's leader
But of a civil trial, he was now a reader
His resignation passing days before
A strong statement this did implore
His leadership of the gun rights group was no longer requited
The way forward for the NRA would now be re-sighted#nra #waynelapierre #gunrights #civiltrial #poetry

CW: Wayne LaPierre, NRA
The only reason #WayneLaPierre has resigned from the #NationalRifleAssociation is because he's facing a lawsuit over embezzlement (malapropriation of funds from a 'charitable' organization); during his tenure he oversaw the transformation of the #NRA into a bastion of #WhiteSupremacy ideology.
He has blood in his hands, may be rot foever.

The development will change the shape of the NYC trial, since #NYAG #LeticiaJames was seeking to oust #WayneLaPierre from his position. She is also seeking financial penalties from #LaPierre & 3 other defendants.
LaPierre played a leading role in transforming #GunCulture in #America, but the last ½ decade of his tenure at the #NRA was marred by scandals & internal upheaval.

Over many years, #LaPierre & cronies allegedly used #NRA membership dues like a private piggy bank, financing everything from sweetheart employment deals to luxe travel & LaPierre’s shopping sprees….
A #judge wrote that the allegations convey “a grim story of #greed, self-dealing, & lax #financial #oversight at the highest levels of the National Rifle Association.”
