NRA CEO Wayne LaPierre Resigns Ahead of Corruption Trial

Longtime spokesperson Andrew Arulanandam to serve as interim head as legal and financial troubles continue to plague the organization.

Overview

Wayne LaPierre, the long-standing CEO of the National Rifle Association (NRA), has announced his resignation due to health reasons.
LaPierre has been a significant figure in shaping U.S. gun policy and has led the NRA's operations since 1991.
His resignation comes just days before he is expected to testify in a civil corruption case that will scrutinize allegations of misuse of NRA donors' funds.
Andrew Arulanandam, LaPierre's longtime spokesperson, will take over as interim head of the organization.
Despite the NRA's recent legal and financial troubles, the gun rights movement continues to gain strength, with the Supreme Court expanding the legal scope of the second amendment.
