However, the parliamentarian ruled that while they had a majority, they did not have the super-majority needed to abolish the committee. Thanks to the efforts of Jeff Knox, the vote was both recorded AND published in the Official Journal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jeff Knox has an <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ammoland.com\/2024\/12\/nra-members-voting-matters-your-votes-vs-their-votes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">editorial on this in today&#8217;s Ammoland<\/a><\/strong>. The need for the SLC is over and control of the litigation needs to be returned to the entire board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You should keep this issue in mind when you get your ballot for the 2025 election in mid-January 2025. Jeff has kindly outlined who is up for election that wants to keep this parasite of a committee. I am certainly not a disinterested observer on this as I am a candidate for the Board of Directors. As I have said in the past, I was <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/2024\/08\/28\/guess-who-is-on-the-ballot-for-2025.html\">shocked to be nominated by the Nominating Committee<\/a><\/strong> but was <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/2024\/10\/18\/we-made-it-by-petition.html\">humbled and gratified to also be on the ballot by petition<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Those of us running on the reform ticket now have a website with biographical information and statements for each one of us. You can find that at <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/electanewnra.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/electanewnra.com\/<\/a><\/strong>. It also gives the core values to which each of has pledged ourselves. First and foremost, it is members first!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is a little reminder of who not to give your vote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ammoland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/NRA-Board-of-Directors-Special-Litigation-Committee-Statement-2024.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As I have written about before, the NRA Board of Directors did vote to abolish the Special Litigation Committee.&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":[6969,291,26,6457],"class_list":["post-34892","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-electanewnra","tag-jeff-knox","tag-nra","tag-special-litigation-committee"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34892","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=34892"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34892\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":34907,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34892\/revisions\/34907"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=34892"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=34892"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=34892"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
