The NEW NRA- Our Exclusive Interview with Leadership

In my recent interview with Amanda Suffecool and Marcus Kahn, we explored the upcoming election for the new NRA Board of Directors and what it means for the future of the organization. With the NRA at a critical turning point, this election is set to determine the next chapter for the nation’s leading Second Amendment advocacy group. Amanda and Marcus provided valuable insights into the candidates, the voting process, and the importance of member participation in shaping the organization’s direction. We also discussed the ousting of longtime NRA leader Wayne LaPierre and how his departure has created an opportunity for the NRA to rebuild trust and transparency with its members. Amanda and Marcus highlighted the need for strong, principled leadership to restore credibility and realign the NRA’s mission with its core values. This pivotal moment gives the NRA a chance to move forward with a renewed commitment to protecting Second Amendment rights while addressing the concerns of its loyal membership. Our conversation emphasized the importance of rebuilding the NRA’s reputation and strengthening its influence in the fight to preserve constitutional freedoms. As the election approaches, Amanda and Marcus stressed that every NRA member has a role to play in ensuring that the organization’s future reflects the values and expectations of its supporters. This election isn’t just about leadership changes—it’s about reclaiming the NRA’s place as a trusted defender of the Second Amendment. https://AmericanOutdoorNews.com www.electanewnra.com

  • The American walnut buttstock features the iconic image of six Marines raising the American flag atop Mount Suribachi during the Battle of Iwo Jima in 1945, with the flag selectively painted in red, white, and blue by hand.
  • The walnut forearm is engraved with another line from the Marines’ Hymn, "In the air, on land, and sea," signifying the USMC’s ability to engage across all domains.
  • The rifle is chambered for .22 Short, Long, or Long Rifle with an MSRP of $1,350.
