Wayne LaPierre
Wayne LaPierre is the longtime executive vice president of the National Rifle Association (NRA), a prominent gun rights organization in the United States. He has been a controversial figure due to his staunch advocacy for gun rights and his leadership during various scandals, including allegations of corruption leading to the NRA's bankruptcy in 2021. LaPierre's tenure has been marked by intense political battles over gun legislation and significant public scrutiny, particularly following mass shootings in the U.S. His influence in the organization has waned as legal challenges and financial difficulties have emerged, culminating in his resignation amid mounting pressure from state investigations, including a civil lawsuit filed by New York Attorney General Letitia James.
