Here's the link to the by-laws again:

Scroll down to Article IX -- it starts on page 20 (of the PDF). Read what's required to recall a director or officer.
First, the process can't be initiated ahead of an annual meeting. But the petition has to be submitted not less than 270 days before the
next annual meeting. That leaves (lemme see, 365 - 270 = 95) three months to gather all the signatures and to submit the petition.
How many signatures? 5% of the number of valid votes cast in the last election of directors. That's going to vary from year to year. Let's choose 1 million as the number of valid votes cast -- that means a petition will need 50,000 (that's fifty thousand) signatures -- and the signatures must be members who are eligible to vote; new-ish members who pay their dues annually can't vote, so their signatures can't be used on a petition.
But there's more -- the signatures can't all be from the same state. "(3) At least three states of the United States of America shall be represented on the petition by the signatures of no fewer than 100 residents of each such state, as reflected by each signor's last address of record furnished to the Secretary."
In any petition situation you can count on some signatures being disqualified, so you'll really need to collect more than 50,000 signatures -- from at least three states. Then the NRA secretary will check all the names against the membership roster to verify that they all qualify. If the petition is ruled valid, then it goes to the membership for a vote, right?
Nope -- wrong. Keep reading. Subparagraph (d) says the person you want to remove gets to appeal the petition
before it has gone to a vote Before, in fact, the membership at large has even been informed that the petition has been submitted. The petition gets submitted to the Committee on Hearings, which can decide to not allow the petition to go forward.
The Committee on Hearings is one of the standing committees established under the bylaws. See Article XI. Its members are appointed by the president of the NRA. You can probably rest assured that the president isn't going to appoint to any sensitive or potentially sensitive committee anyone who might be considered a dissident or a rebel, so the deck is still further stack against petitions for recall.
Remember -- three years ago this was all sold to the membership as being better for the members. What a joke!
So, yes, we have a means in the by-laws to recall Wayne LaPierre. On paper. Read through Article IX and you'll see that it's a paper tiger -- IMHO it would be impossible for the membership at large to surmount all the hurdles and bring a recall petition to a voite.
