List of presidents of the National Rifle Association of America
The position of president of the
National Rifle Association of America
(NRA) is a symbolic figurehead role,
[1]
[2]
which dates back to the organization's foundation in New York on November 17, 1871.
[3]
Founded by
George Wood Wingate
and
William Conant Church
, two
Union
veterans dismayed by the lack of shooting skills among recruits,
[4]
the rifle association voted to have Union general
Ambrose Burnside
as its first president.
[5]
Church succeeded Burnside as the second president of the organization,
[6]
and Wingate became the tenth in 1886.
[7]
Traditionally, the first vice president is elevated to president when the position becomes open while the second vice president is similarly promoted,
[8]
[9]
but this practice has not always been followed.
[10]
Throughout its history, presidents have served purposes and effects including providing the NRA greater legitimacy;
[7]
[11]
holders of the office have also intentionally provoked outrage and condemnation.
[3]
[12]
Since the 1990s, some NRA presidents have made controversial statements such as when
James W. Porter II
referred to
Barack Obama
, whose administration he perceived as hostile to gun rights,
[13]
as a "fake president" and when
Charlton Heston
proclaimed to gun control advocates that they could only have his firearm after taking it "
from my cold, dead hands
."
[3]
[14]
While once elected at the annual convention,
[15]
as of 2020
[update]
, NRA presidents are chosen by the board of directors.
[1]
[16]
They generally serve out two one-year terms.
[17]
However, the NRA board of directors amended the organization's bylaws to make a personalized exception for actor Charlton Heston to allow him to serve out a unique five-year term.
[10]
Under said bylaws, the position of president is unpaid.
[18]
During
Oliver North
's time in office he sought to make the position a paid one, but this initiative failed when he was ousted as president after a power struggle with executive vice president
Wayne LaPierre
.
[19]
Some presidents have been employed by the NRA after leaving office.
[20]
Marion Hammer
was the association's first female president and went on to be executive director of the group's Florida affiliate.
[21]
[22]
The executive vice president acts as the group's
chief operating officer
. Wayne LaPierre held this post between 1991 and 2024,
[23]
[24]
despite several internal challenges to his role.
[25]
[26]
There have been 65 NRA presidents, serving 67 distinct tenures as both
Smith W. Brookhart
and
Carolyn D. Meadows
have served two nonconsecutive times in the office. Others who have held the position include former United States president
Ulysses S. Grant
, lobbyist
Harlon Carter
,
American Football League
commissioner
Joe Foss
, and conservative activist
David Keene
. The current president as of 2021
[update]
is Charles Cotton. In April 2023, the NRA Board of Directors voted to amend the bylaws allowing Cotton to serve a third term.
