Readers may be interested to know that also [today, the NRA’s top lobbyist quit his job](https://apnews.com/7c30278f978d47fb9f632cf7a19deaec). > [@](#): > > Chris Cox’s departure came the same day the NRA confirmed it was severing ties with its longtime public relations firm and suspending operation of NRATV, an online station that has stirred controversy for its fiery rhetoric. > > Cox, long viewed as the likely successor to longtime CEO Wayne LaPierre, resigned just about a week after the NRA put him on administrative leave, claiming he was part of a failed attempt to extort LaPierre and push him out. It came within hours of NRA officially severing ties with Ackerman McQueen, the Oklahoma-based public relations firm with which it’s been embroiled in a legal tangle over expenditures. > > Cox had been the executive director of NRA’s lobbying arm, the Institute for Legislative Action, since 2002. He was credited with leading efforts to allow a decadelong ban on “assault weapons” to expire in 2004, an achievement that allowed the gun industry to resume selling what the industry calls “modern sporting rifles” and critics claim are used too often to exact mass carnage. > > His resignation was confirmed by NRA spokesman Andrew Arulanandam. ---

I guess the NRA’s spending on bespoke suits and private jets exceeded what was budgeted for this year; cuts have to be made somewhere for the cartel to remain solvent. ---
