by I started hearing rumors as soon as Wayne LaPierre resigned that current NRA President Charles Cotton was jockeying for the position of CEO and Executive Vice President. Personally, I think this would be a travesty and would mark the death knell of the NRA. One merely needs to remember that Mr. Cotton served and continues to serve as head of the Audit Committee for many years while the grifters grifted.
The best analogy on the move by Mr. Cotton to win the EVP position was by my friend Ron Carter who said:
Cotton is clearly the Nikita Khrushchev seeking to seize the opportunity on the death of Stalin….I use the Soviet reference because it sure resembles it. All the yes-men will keep saying yes to the strongest posture regardless of any other criteria.
