NY Attorney General Suing the NRA, four members in particular

[rocsteady]

Now this is an interesting and disgusting development considering all the corruption in so many corporations and the government itself, to single out the NRA. Not a stretch to say it's no coincidence that they're basically a conservative organization.

"The chief executive of the National Rifle Association and several top lieutenants engaged in a decades-long pattern of fraud to raid the coffers of the powerful gun rights group for personal gain, according to a lawsuit filed Thursday by the New York attorney general, draining $64 million from the nonprofit in just three years."

Not just suing. Suing with the intent to get it dissolved.

I filed a lawsuit to dissolve the National Rifle Association for years of self-dealing and illegal conduct.

The @NRA is fraught with fraud and abuse.

No organization is above the law.

We are seeking to dissolve the NRA for years of self-dealing and illegal conduct that violate New York’s charities laws and undermine its own mission.

The NRA diverted millions of dollars away from its charitable mission for personal use by senior leadership.

and there's that (dissolving the NRA entirely)...

So my question is, if the leadership has been living large and dipping into the sugar bowl that is criminal behavior. Fill criminal charges, arrest the thieves and have a perp walk.

But to sue civilly, with one of the goals being to dissolve the NRA.

I call BS, on pure motives.

Agree in principle, but also it's nice to see they are being overt about it.

Until about 10 years ago-I was an off/on member since late 70's.
Really believed in the organization..met Wayne..did a couple NRA Shows, ect. Donated a decent amount, wrote actual letters back in the day.
It was NEVER enough...MO' MONEY...MO' MONEY MO" MONEY is all I ever heard. ALWAYS an "imminent threat" somewhere.
Got fed up and finally had enough. Other than being a feather in the lib/dem/media cap...I dont care if they get sued out of existence today.
They got some 'splainin to do in my opinion.

While I appreciate the New York Attorney General looking out for me I really don’t want or need his help.

With that said the NRA is a joke. Maybe if it is dissolved GOA Will fill that void and take note to not misuse funds.Either way I could really care less, they will not be getting another dime for me.

The NRA is mostly a joke and the progressive D bags sense they don't have the teeth or the clout they had and are going into attack mode in hopes of scoring points, but I suspect it will backfire badly (per usual) as NRA membership explodes and do due the actions of the derpa derps in NYC, hand back much of the $ and clout they may have lost. I may have lost a lot of faith in the NRA, but I will re up my long ended membership so they can fight with those D bags in NYC.

I was thinking the same thing. How do you, pretty much, embezzel $64M and not have it be criminal? CEOs of corporations are doing hard time for what they are being accused of.

Like anybody would notice. The NRA hasn't even been protecting fudd guns. Anytime an anti-gun law passes, they say "That sucks. Good luck! Oh, and donate to us because we were the only reason things weren't worse.

Seriously though, I think that the left is making a mistake with this. They're going after a paper tiger. We're not "done" if they succeed. Grassroots and state organizations have done a hell of a lot more than the NRA has done.
