Gun rights have never been more at stake than in this November's election, and Democratic politicians are now attempting to remove the NRA from the debate. At the very least, they want to run up the NRA's legal bills so that it won't have funds left over for political campaigns.

Lawfare.
If every gun owner in Deep Blue NYS would vote for the GOP candidate we could easily take back the Governors mansion and many other upstate seats.
Newsweek? I’ve actually seen a few balanced articles from them lately.

For the life of me, I can’t understand why the NRA would have kept its corporate charter under the jurisdiction of New York State law for all these years. It might have made sense to incorporate there in the 19th century when many other states didn’t have laws on the books to accommodate some types of corporate structures, but why the hell didn’t they reconstitute themselves under, say, Wyoming law — decades ago?
Too busy flying to the Bahamas to make the necessary changes? /s
Can anyone explain why these exact same tactics could not be used against liberal organizations like planned parenthood?
“Newsweek? I’ve actually seen a few balanced articles from them lately.”
Yeah, me too. . Did some sane person buy them out?
It is absolutely Lawfare, and it has been a tradition of Democrat NY Attorneys General for decades to manufacture such political attacks on leftist bogeymen like health insurance companies, big oil, or the NRA - to shake loose vast sums of money for the state, and to boost their own national leftist political bona fides.
Spitzer did it, Cuomo did it, Schneiderman did it, and now James is doing it.

You have the case in Minn. where the Attorney General, a radical, has charged four police with murder and has kept the entire video of the arrest of St. George from the public. You have the prosecutor in St. Louis who forgives criminal breaking and entering/trespassing but charges the homeowners who displayed weapons to a mob. You have the case in California where undercover investigators expose Planned Parenthood’s sale of baby parts, and promptly charges the makers of the video. I could go on.
People on our side believe the law is something to be respected. We don’t prosecute people for not agreeing with us. We try to see that taxpayer money does not go to fund abortions. We write laws that require abortionists to conform to medical standards for medical clinics.
They are using law fare to make war on us. Maybe we respect the law too much to do the same to them.
I don't think you understand how liberal gun owners “think”....
its not a 2nd Amendment thing to them....its about being “entitled” ..They would like to pick and choose who gets to be entitled......like all their liberal friends.....unlike conservatives..they base their principles on there politics...Not the other way around like it should be..
I will not give up my guns for New York City - criminels . vote for PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN .
Is there any truth to the accusations that led to these charges? If so, prison awaits the offenders. If not, countersue.
They've been selling baby parts and remain unindicted. Must be they're among the "protected".
Because you have to 1) have an AG willing to take on Planned Parenthood with cajones, taking on the NRA does not require cajones when the supporters do not have cajones.2) The AG has to have really deep support from all levels of government, not only the state level but those in DC and lastly, because repubes and demoncrats are one in the same, meaning that once they take law-abiding citizen’s guns, they can now control you in everything you do. Gun rights are the last bastion of the republic and the Constitution as Freedom of Speech as a right has already been compromised.
Wayne LaPierre can find Armani suits easier in NY maybe?
Because Republicans don't think that ruthlessly strategic.
Look at Florida in 2018. Despite campaigning hard for Governor, the only statewide office that Democrats won was the Agriculture Commissioner.
Why did Democrats try so hard for the Ag Commissioner? Because in Florida, the Agriculture Commissioner is responsible for approving gun license applications.

I had to do a double take.
This is from Newsweek?
What on earth is going on with Newsweek these days? They are actually writing articles that are reasonably fair every once in a while.
The New York Times and CNN etc are 100% far left propaganda 100% of the time.
