NRA Touts Oliver North's Expertise At Avoiding Jail Time For Colluding With Hostile Foreign Powers

[Zorro]

FAIRFAX, VA—Saying that he had just the qualifications needed to help guide their organization, the NRA announced Monday that Oliver North would be its new president, touting the retired Lt. Colonel’s expertise at avoiding jail time for colluding with hostile foreign powers.

“Oliver North brings a wealth of experience in setting up back channels and illicitly exchanging funds with foreign adversaries, all while escaping any time in prison, which is exactly what the NRA is looking for in its leadership,” said NRA CEO Wayne LaPierre, telling reporters that North’s prowess at escaping felony charges for conspiring with rival countries in an effort to get even more firearms into people’s hands made the former FOX News host by far the best candidate they had considered.

“As we looked to fill the position, we were immediately impressed by Lt. North’s proven ability to not only survive criminal conviction for illegally channeling foreign money, but also actively thrive in its aftermath. This is exactly the sort of innovation and resourcefulness that the NRA is going to need as it heads into the future.”

LaPierre added that North’s skill set was complemented by his terrific attitude of contempt towards the rule of law.

1. And he's a successful international gun trafficker, which is what Bolton was working on at NRA --

expanding international gun sales. Make the rest of the world like America when it comes to guns and hatred.

2. They did find somebody who meets

their qualifications.

A reviled organization must have a reviled person in charge.

3. Last year, in a major format shift, The Onion began publishing only factual articles.

Nobody noticed.

4. The NRA picks an actual bona fide Traitor who is a disgrace to the uniform

of the United States Marines for their president? How low can you go?
