Lt. Colonel Oliver North, USMC (Ret.) will soon become President of the National Rifle Association of America.

“This is the most exciting news for our members since Charlton Heston became President of our Association,” said NRA Executive Vice President and CEO Wayne LaPierre said in an official statement.

 “Oliver North is a legendary warrior for American freedom, a gifted communicator and skilled leader. In these times, I can think of no one better suited to serve as our President.”

North said he was eager to take on this new role as soon as his business affairs were put in order. North is retiring from Fox News, effective immediately. “I am honored to have been selected by the NRA Board to soon serve as this great organization’s President,” North said. “I appreciate the board initiating a process that affords me a few weeks to set my affairs in order, and I am eager to hit the ground running as the new NRA President.”

North will become President of the National Rifle Association of America within a few weeks, a process the NRA Board of Directors initiated Monday morning.

The NRA Board began the process after former NRA President Pete Brownell announced Monday, he had decided not to seek election to a second term. In his letter to the Board, Brownell wholeheartedly endorsed North for President.
