During a deposition, the head of the powerful gun-rights group's acknowledged sailing in The Bahamas with his family as a "security retreat" in the summers following a 2012 school shootings in Connecticut and a 2018 massacre in Florida.
The NRA declared bankruptcy in January, months after New York Attorney General Letitia James, a Democrat, sued seeking the group's dissolution over claims that top executives illegally diverted tens of millions of dollars for lavish personal trips, no-show contracts for associates and other questionable expenditures.
The shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut left 20 first graders and six educators dead in December 2012. The February 2018 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida killed 17 people.McKenzie did not immediately respond to voicemail and email messages to his company seeking comment.
I suggest they amend the 2nd amendment to include the basic human right that is yacht-owning.
bunkerboy NRA
Of course he did
Oh the irony! Nobody else can go hide on a yacht to feel safe! 'And this was the one place that I hope could feel safe, where I remember getting there going, `Thank God I'm safe, nobody can get me here.'' Wouldn't school kids like to feel that security, too?
Cowardice or typical?
Didn’t the NRA go under? Bankrupt?
He thinks he deserved presidential security? Who does he think he is? Also if you deal in selling and promoting guns and don’t stand up to the horrible things that have happened what did you think would happen? U dismissed the sandy hook shooting with no comment!
Well thank god he had a yacht to hide on. All those poor kids had were their school desks and broom closets...
Can’t hide in Texas!
Poor thing
Sh!t his pants and cursed guns too!
Guess he'a not gettin rich! On a borrowed yacht hehe
What a wuss. A privileged wuss.
And soiled himself
He knows the proliferation of guns is a risk.
He was hiding from someone with a gun.
Refuse his bankruptcy claim or take all his personal crap... he's another taker
Lead from the back.
Which shooting?
coward
bunkerboy NRA
Sorry - don’t feel sorry for you
Woke CTV put more effort into this yacht story in the Bahamas than Trudeaus trip to the Bahamas where he broke conflict of interest and ethics violations
'And this was the one place that I hope could feel safe, where I remember getting there going, `Thank God I'm safe, nobody can get me here.''...wow.... says the man who advocates for guns as he hides in a yacht while kids hide in classrooms.....the irony....
So I guess he was supposed to not find safety and be comfortable...because...you know...he likes guns. Sounds reasonable
Who cares!
Sh!t his pants too and cursed guns!
