Where was he about this before now then?  he didn't raise many issues (other than the NRA being "attacked") while running for re-election.

Quote:Fredy Riehl: Allen, the NRA leadership and the organization's finances have been the source of a lot of discussions the past few months. What updates can you relay to us from the recent NRA Board meeting?


Allen West: We just concluded our NRA winter board meeting, and it is very apparent that there is a focused effort by former NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg and New York Governor Andrew Cuomo and incoming New York Attorney General Letitia James to destroy the nation's oldest civil rights organization, the National Rifle Association. I will not go into any confidential information but the nefarious attacks against the NRA, along with the focus of certain political leaders, should give witness to the fact that the existence of the NRA is very disconcerting to the progressive socialist left.

Quote:As well, it should be considered a direct assault on the 5M members of the NRA.

The NRA finished 2018 with its largest ever number of members, and highest amounts of funds raised…even with the incessant, and unwarranted, attacks levied against the organization. The NRAAM in Dallas Texas drew a record crowd, largest ever.


Fredy Riehl: You have worked on Capital HiIl as a member of the 112th Congress. The current crop of newly elected Freshman Democrats seem deadset on taking away our right to keep and bear arms any way they can. How serious do you think this threat is for the average U.S. gun owner?


Allen West: The threat posed by the progressive socialist left to the Second Amendment is real. The firmly realize that a legal, law-abiding armed individual is a citizen…an unarmed one is a subject. In order to enact their goals and subjugate We the People to their tyranny, we cannot have the means to safeguard ourselves. Their lies, distortions, and deceit will not end until they have rendered the Second Amendment a relic. The left will continue to cherry pick what they believe are laws, even after the Heller and McDonald court decisions, and deny that the Second Amendment is part of our rule of law and the law of the land. Recent efforts in New Jersey and ballot petitions in Florida evidence their relentless desire.

And he's been on the board since 2016.

The one-term Republican representative from Florida was elected to the board in 2016. West, a former lieutenant colonel, resigned from the Army in 2004 after being investigated for intentionally firing his weapon next to an Iraqi detainee’s head.

Full list of board members at the link btw.

Glad he's speaking out.  Not gonna give too much credit when he said nothing about it before now when he had access to the same info then.
