so much attention focussed on the trial involving the NRA in New York City, scant attention has been paid to who succeeds Wayne LaPierre as CEO and Executive Vice President of the NRA.

Callender confirmed this to me in a face-to-face conversation we held at the 2022 Gun Rights Policy Conference held in Irving, Texas. He has since returned to private practice in Dallas area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Texas AG Ken Paxton has been a stalwart supporter of the Second Amendment and has signed on to a number of amicus briefs in support of it. Paxton, who was last year impeached by the Texas House of Representatives, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.texastribune.org\/2023\/09\/16\/ken-paxton-acquitted-impeachment-texas-attorney-general\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">was acquitted on all charges<\/a><\/strong> in the trial in the Texas Senate. The move to impeach Paxton was led by Texas House Speaker Dade Phelan who is his arch political enemy. Phelan, who is <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/texasscorecard.com\/commentary\/yall-answered-keep-phelan-as-speaker\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">considered a RINO by Texas conservatives<\/a><\/strong>, and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecentersquare.com\/texas\/article_e51684d0-5af5-11ee-8b00-03ca83ef8664.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">has been asked to resign<\/a><\/strong> by the leaders of the Texas Republican Party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After the murders of school children in Uvalde, Phelan formed a <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.houstonchronicle.com\/politics\/article\/phelan-house-gun-committee-17802490.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">House Select Committee on Community Safety<\/a><\/strong> to review all firearms-related legislation. This <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.texastribune.org\/2023\/04\/18\/texas-gun-bills-2023\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">included red flag laws<\/a><\/strong> and raising the age to purchase a modern sporting rifle. While the committee composition was officially seven Republicans and six Democrats, the Republican chair had been a Democrat until just recently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With this as a background, Randy Kozuch, Executive Director of NRA-ILA and Chairman of the NRA-PVF, endorsed Dade Phelan and rated him A+.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">TEXAS: NRA Proudly Endorses Speaker <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DadePhelan?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@DadePhelan<\/a> for Re-election With an A+ Rating<br><br>&quot;NRA is proud to stand with such a demonstrated leader in the fight to defend liberty and freedom in the Lone Star State.&quot; \u2013NRA-PVF Chairman Randy Kozuch<br><br>\u27a1\ufe0f<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/kp2GiQdyQP\">https:\/\/t.co\/kp2GiQdyQP<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/VxLePjJLY0\">pic.twitter.com\/VxLePjJLY0<\/a><\/p>&mdash; NRA (@NRA) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NRA\/status\/1744390872995623233?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">January 8, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<p> This brought pushback from a number of conservatives including Dana Loesch who served as a <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.americas1stfreedom.org\/content\/breaking-wayne-lapierre-names-dana-loesch-special-assistant-to-his-office-for-public-communication\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">special assistant to Wayne<\/a><\/strong> at one time. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DLoesch\/status\/1745239174175727727\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">She said of Phelan<\/a><\/strong> that he &#8220;was an obstacle while fighting red flag laws, and dragged out our fight to win Constitutional carry.&#8221; Others are saying they are <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TexasRepublic71\/status\/1744413518340739219\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">dropping their NRA membership<\/a><\/strong> or <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/matthewdmarsden\/status\/1744413262374989920\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">looking for alternatives<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One must wonder who pushed Randy Kozuch to give an A+ rating to Phelan who by most accounts is a RINO and who is marginal on gun rights. Was it the Old Guard on the NRA led by NRA President Charles Cotton who is a Texan? Was it Bill Brewer who saw an ally in a RINO politician who was barely so-so on gun rights? If Brewer, was it with knowledge that it would anger true Second Amendment supporters in Texas?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Giving Phelan the A+ rating and endorsement obviously angered his arch-enemies Ken Paxton and Sen. Drew Springer as the next day they endorsed Wade Callender for EVP. This move by Paxton and Springer is definitely a call for new blood to lead the NRA and a repudiation of the Old Guard.<\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With so much attention focussed on the trial involving the NRA in New York City, scant attention has been&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"iawp_total_views":2,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[26,6728,86,6729,604,1348,6727,6726,5977,66],"class_list":["post-33988","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-nra","tag-nra-evp","tag-stephen-gutowski","tag-succession","tag-texas","tag-texas-ag-ken-paxton","tag-texas-house-speaker-dade-phelan","tag-texas-politics","tag-wade-callender","tag-william-brewer-iii"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33988","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=33988"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33988\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":33991,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33988\/revisions\/33991"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=33988"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=33988"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=33988"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
