The weekend's National Rifle Association convention, which the liberal media vowed would be among the most controversial ever due to two recent mass shootings and leadership issues in the gun lobby’s boardroom, ended without event — and even included the near-unanimous reelection of Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre.
LaPierre, under fire by outsiders for spending practices and an unbending pro-gun agenda, faced a weak challenge from former Rep. Allen West (R-FL).
