  1.  

  2. 1

    There are two ways this can reach a steady state:

    1. Wayne LaPierre steps down, possibly a delayed exit after the board selects his successor. He might need to spend more time with his family, right?

    2. Wayne LaPierre apologies, reimburses the NRA for his rather pricey wardrobe, and commits to more transparency going forward.

    Both require a stated or unstated apology from Wayne LaPierre.

    To not reach either 1 or 2 above leaves this situation in an unsteady state. More board members will start going public with their concerns. More board members will bring this up at meetings. More board members will leak internal documents (they might even believe they have a fiduciary duty to tell membership what’s going on). More major donors will withhold funds. More pro-2A groups will, eventually at least, start up or existing ones will capitalize on the situation.

    But to reach 1 or 2 means Wayne LaPierre and/or a supermajority of the board to realize the perils of this unsteady state.
