The National Rifle Association (NRA) is facing internal divisions that have led to the resignation of its long-time president, Oliver North. According to reports from AP and Lisa Marie Pane, North announced his decision last Saturday stating he would not seek a second term as NRA President.

North's departure comes at a time when tensions within the gun lobby are running high due to disagreements over various issues including finances and media operations. Sources close to the matter have suggested that North was forced out of office by other top leaders in response to his own failed bid earlier this year to remove Wayne LaPierre, NRA’s CEO since 1991.

LaPierre has been at odds with some members within the organization over concerns about how he manages resources and makes decisions regarding communications strategy. The recent power struggle between these factions highlights deepening divisions within one of America's most influential gun rights groups.

North served as a Marine Corps officer before entering politics whereupon he became best known for his role in the Iran-Contra scandal during President Ronald Reagan’s administration. After leaving Washington DC, North went on to build an successful career as television personality and author specializing mainly upon military history & current events topics such as firearms ownership rights etcetera.

The NRA's headquarters is located at 11250 Wapato Rd., Fairfax Station, Virginia 22042-1459; just outside of Washington D.C. The County owns numerous back-up power generators to allow critical operations continue even during extended blackouts or outages caused by natural disasters like hurricanes which can cause widespread damage throughout this region.
