Thursday was longtime NRA leader Wayne LaPierre's first day of retirement after 30 years leading the gun-rights group. Gun control and gun safety advocates say they're not sorry to see LaPierre go. "Wayne LaPierre's legacy is one of lies, deceit, and manipulation leading to a uniquely American epidemic of gun violence," said Kris Brown, who heads the gun group Brady. Advertisement"Just because Wayne is gone does not mean our fight for a country free from gun violence is over." The attorney general's office is expected to rest its case Monday against the NRA, LaPierre, and two other longtime executives at the gun lobby.
