Retired U.S. Marine Lieutenant Colonel Oliver North on Saturday announced that he will step down as president of the National Rifle Association.
The former military officer who took over as NRA president in May of 2018 said he was being forced out of the role due to his allegations that NRA leaders engaged in financial improprieties.
In a letter read by an NRA board member during the gun rights group's annual meeting in Indianapolis, North, a conservative commentator best known for his central role in the 1980s Iran-Contra affair, said he had hoped to stand for re-election when his term ends on Monday.
'I am now informed that will not happen,' North said in the letter.

I do not recall
NRA thought they were helping themselves by getting a beltway establishment person but they were mistaken.
He wouldn't have been my first pick.
I send all my donations to Gun Owmers of America and 2nd Amendment Foundation. They are both No compromise lobbies for 2A. The NRA helped write the Hughes Amendment and they supported the Bump stock ban. The NRA does not advocate for the return of your 2A rights. They are little more than a thinly disguised protection racket.
Why do these people have today anything?? You were only their for months and your starting CRAP?? Another ESTABLISHMENT Republican PLANT!!
