New York AG seeks to dissolve NRA in lawsuit accusing leaders of self-dealing, causing $64 million in losses
New York Attorney General Letitia James was set to announce Thursday that the state is seeking to dissolve the National Rifle Association in a lawsuit that accuses the leadership of the flagging nonprofit of diverting millions of dollars for their own personal use.
According to the lawsuit, the senior leadership of the NRA squandered millions in donations on personal trips, private jets and expensive meals. The failure to lawfully manage the organization’s funds contributed to losses of $64 million over three years, the suit says.
James is asking the court to dissolve the NRA and require each of the current and former executives named in the suit to pay full restitution. The suit argues that the four executives, including CEO Wayne LaPierre, shouldn’t be permitted to ever again serve on the board of a New York charity.
The suit continues a long-running battle between the state and the gun-rights group, which has been chartered in New York since 1871. James, who is a Democrat, threatened to investigate the NRA’s nonprofit status during her campaign for attorney general and likened the group in 2018 to a “terrorist organization.”

Well, I guess the game is over, then.
Time to turn in my guns and ammo to the NY AG, even though I don’t live there and have never once set foot in the state.
*SNORT*
More like time to buy more guns and ammo. Dumb beotch. She must be trying to break 0bama’s record for gun sales, LOL!
The NRA leadership has made A LOT of mistakes. But at the top of the list was not moving its incorporation out of New York decades ago.
I will do the same.
I know that the NRA has some shit on their shoes, but I've been a member since the 60s, and while I disagreed when they supported demonRATs, they have always supported all Americans and our right to keep our weapons.
I've been to several NRA conventions, and the people that attend are 100% Patriots and everyone thanks the NRA for helping us keep our God given rights to protect our families, property and way of life.
THIS is her big reveal? A real “Dry Camel”
Sounds like the Obamas during their White House years.
Is the NRA chartered in multiple states, or is New York THE official state of incorporation of the organization? If so, the leadership of the NRA is a bunch of morons. That’s like having the Holocaust Memorial Foundation chartered in Mecca.

Well, that same standard could apply to various states to the tune of billions which are confiscated from taxpayers...
Because old Wayne doesn’t want to live on Alabama
This woman apparently has NOTHING to do with her work hours except craft anti-Trump lawsuits and anti-conservative lawsuits. She has done nothing to go after actual crime, which is soaring like the smoke from a forest fire in NY. Leticia James is an obvious affirmative action placement, being a third rate attorney. She is Cuomo’s nasty junkyard dog to sic on Trump and other conservatives. Just add this salivating animal’s actions to Cuomo’s tab of destruction, murder, and lowering the quality of life in NY.
Hey NY voters...NEW SHINY OBJECT over here...We gonna kill NRA...
Don’t pay no attention to all those elderly Covid deaths...
Don’t pay no attention to BLM bombed out and deadly NYC...
Don’t pay no attention to all those rich folks moving to Connecticut and Florida...
Don’t pay no attention to Uncle Joe...he just OLD not Racist...
Wow. We been telling the NrA to stop overpaying their head honchos now this.
Funny, but at least NRA is not taking public money
More votes for Trump, that’s all this means

Her staff does all the work. She just reads whatever piece of paper they put in front of her.
How many of us live where we were born? Life’s journey carries us to wherever we can be successful and happy?
Ol’ Wayne has a Board of Directors. Surely someone in NRA is smart enough to know New York is not a healthy place for them.
Or the Clinton Foundation?
NRA is not a gun right org. It really is a Chamber of Commerce Occupational Licensing lobby which wants exclusive regulatory recognition control to train
Unfortunately Wayne and his cronies are indeed corrupt. The NRA shouldn’t be dissolved. The members like me are the victims. Wayne and his cronies should be forced out.
The left thinks that they have the absolute ascendancy in society today, so expect more of this, including permanently shutting down churches and Christian ministries.
