Wayne was/is a crook. There's no other way to put it. Membership money went to buy suits, booze, trips etc and not for the defense of the 2nd amendment. I once was a member, no more until Wayne and this B of D are gone.
Think of the good BoD members that tried to reform that organization and instead had to resign or were run out on rails.
Wasn't the clean-it-up faction the late R. Lee Ermy, Tom Selleck, and Col. Oliver North among others?
