Options

Option 1. A majority of the Board circles the wagons in defense of Wayne LaPierre and his pals and tries to weather the storm. (They’ll fail, and the whole ship will sink.)
or
Option 2. A majority of the Board fires LaPierre and other executives (or accepts their resignations) and nullifies their contracts, suspends all vendor contracts pending thorough review and renegotiation, and purges culpable members of their own body – demonstrating a commitment to safeguarding NRA assets on behalf of the membership. (Plugging the holes and possibly saving the ship.) [More]
While my vote would be for #2, my money would be on #1.

I'd also bet on lawsuits being in the future.

UPDATE- Option 3:
NRA’s Wayne LaPierre Says He Is Being Extorted, Pressured to Resign - Group’s longtime leader says Oliver North, president of the NRA, wants him out
North is a creature of Ack-Mac, so I'm not looking at this as a development where the prime concern is serving the right to keep and bear arms.

UPDATE- Option 1 it is:
Taking the stage later Saturday, LaPierre got two standing ovations from the crowd of more than 1,000 NRA members...
I just hope Patrick didn't hurt his hands.

To paraphrase Churchill, the NRA may have gotten itself so far behind the eight ball that it goes under regardless of what the executives, the board of directors, or the membership does.

And, per reports, Oliver North has been ousted...
