Jeff Knox of the NRA board and its organization special committee published an Ammoland piece rebutting claims that egos stalled reforms. He has long favored a smaller board, finished fifth in 2024, and voted with most directors to send President Bachenberg’s reduction plan to the committee after its first public reveal at the 2026 members meeting. Then-chair Amanda Suffecool requested committee review but was told it would arrive with everyone else, and Knox said a court order helped create the panel so rules must be followed.
