NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer on Sunday called on the Justice Department to investigate the National Rifle Association for bankruptcy fraud, saying the financially stable gun-rights group abused the system when it sought bankruptcy protection in the wake of a New York lawsuit seeking to put it out of business.
A judge rejected the NRA's bankruptcy case in May, ruling the nonprofit organization had not acted in good faith. NRA leaders made clear that the organization was “in its strongest financial condition in years” and was seeking bankruptcy protection so it could changes its state of incorporation from New York to gun-friendly Texas.
Schumer, a New York Democrat, said the NRA's continued heavy spending on advertising criticizing proposed gun control measures and the nomination of gun control lobbyist David Chipman to run the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco Firearms and Explosives are further evidence that its bankruptcy filing was inspired by legal, not financial, concerns.
“They recently told the judicial branch of government that they are bankrupt after the lawsuit by Tish James, and at the same time they’re saying they’re bankrupt, they’re spending millions of dollars on ads to stop universal background checks,” Schumer said, referencing New York Attorney General Letitia James. “That demands an investigation by the Justice Department.”
The NRA said it was working on a statement. The Justice Department declined comment.
The organization filed for bankruptcy protection in January, months after James sued the NRA, seeking its dissolution over claims that top executives illegally diverted tens of millions of dollars for lavish personal trips, no-show contracts for associates and other questionable expenditures. That lawsuit is ongoing.

Maybe the NRA could mail a membership list DVD to FreeRepublic.
I’m sure FreeRepublic management could ensure it is put to good use.
I bet you’ll wish you ran one of these non-profits:

“the nonprofit tax laws have been hacked to pieces to ensure that top charity CEOs can enjoy their private jets and multi-million dollars homes in the Caribbean. The IRS has a laughable term describing fair organizations executive compensation which gives the green light to this shameful money sacking: ‘Reasonable Compensation.’ The IRS Reasonable compensation is defined as ‘the value that would ordinarily be paid for like services by like enterprises [for-profit] under like circumstances.’”

Seems to me NY is bleeding money.
NRA wants out and Schuck U Shumer says no.
NY is not in a good place right now.
I say, “investigate the rat-bastard Schumer!”
How many men...with guns...are guarding this pig fornicator 24/7/366?
We are indeed a banana republic, except without the bananas, and without the republic. (This used to be my tagline here long ago.)
seeking bankruptcy protection so it could changes its state of incorporation from New York to gun-friendly Texas.
It’s only more fear, uncertainty and doubt disseminated by un-American propagandists. The NRA continues to go strong.

“Misleading reports exist about several legal matters involving the NRA. This website presents key documents and facts — to set the record straight and allow the public to judge for itself.”
And they know they have a favorable rating of an anal boil. Schmucks doesn’t have the luxury or the time to go after them. It's for fundraising. His popularity in his own party of going after the NRA isn’t going to fly with the red states they stole the election from, especially with the rising crime rates and defunding cops they caused and even higher rising gun purchases.
2 words Chuck U: Ashli Babbitt.
UNARMED Female
American veteran
Shot, point-blank by alleged LEO in the neck, bled out
LEO shooter has never been identified, as his name and identity is hidden by Congress
Ashli Babbitt was the only fatality during a 'peaceful demonstration' within the Capital, although she may have been trespassing (Class D, Misdemeanor)
Since when is a Class D Misdemeanor sufficient grounds for the use of "Deadly Physical Force" on an unarmed subject ??
They've been around for years. Guess you haven't looked very hard...
Schumer is a domestic enemy
All who take the oath must assure his removal
Just another one of Schumer’s Russia Russia Russia deals.
Yes, how about the NRA investigating Schumer instead. I know there’s something that rat is guilty of; probably several somethings.
or your local State Gun Assotiation.
While MeWe is no FR it does let you speak freely, has state groups, or your hobbies. Preaching to the Choir isn’t all bad, as you do learn stuff. Not everyone is on FR.
J & J has had to put 2 warings out, 1) Neurogical, 2) Gullian Barre Syndrome, which is a Neurological Autoimmune. Lots of good Memes.
Use both, Rumble too.
