Does the it have any power to do real damage to the gun lobby? The New York AG’s lawsuit against the NRA isn’t just for show; it’s serious.

The organization reported $172.8 million in total cash and investments as of the end of 2018. More than 41 percent of its 2018 revenue was from membership dues. During the 2016 presidential election, the NRA spent more than $30 million on behalf of the Trump campaign.

If New York’s AG went after NRA leaders that would be one thing. But she wants to bring down the entire NRA organization during an election year. Purely a political move. Disgusting for someone in her position. truth

How much money is this costing NYS residents? NYS is broke and going downhill but let’s sue the NRA . No surprise that people are leaving NY by the thousands. Great job NYGovCuomo wastedmoney

Lmao as soon as they get dissolved the national pistol association suddenly gets formed

The NRA needs to dissolve. And that Pepe La'Pue the embezzler needs accountability

I hope that the officials of NRA go to jail and they close NRA for good. Let the crazies died on the vine. I hope also the Republicans that supported the NRA go down the drain with the NRA, bunch of fuck'en crazies stealing from crazies.

Seriously stupid!

Might get people to join the GOA that was in the NRA

Give your money to “Guns Are Us For The Betterment of America Association”. We’ll take all the $s you got and promise you the 🌎. Be smart; demand accountability from those you think you trust & give $s to. NRA maybe got to comfortable cuz the $s just flowed in & no1 followed up

No one above the law

Follow the money and you’ll find corruption. NRA has many members who joined for good reasons but we’re naive in plunking down their $s. Fleeced they were & hopefully they learn from it. Sharks are all about. Research & question.

maybe 'lobbyist' and donation lobbying (bribery) should be made illegal

The NRA hasn't been a pro gun lobby for a long time. It's just a scam, padding the pockets of the NRA board and their friends.

Why would you think it’s for show? Smh! Who’s side are you on?

It's a propaganda piece

Guns/2nd Amendment will be here with or without the NRA. Neither are going anywhere. So keep crying about it.

The it is coming for your guns

ShivM_07 Financial fraud is financial fraud, does not matter the organization. The 2A exists without the NRA. The people most adamantly defending them are the same people getting ripped off.

Not ... really. But the fireworks will be fun to watch when it finally gets to SCOTUS ... in like ... a year.

Does NBC bother to proofread its tweets?

The it?

Guns are only half the weapons we thought they were

NY AG lawsuit paints vivid picture of how NRA membership money is spentRachel Maddow reviews some of the ways NRA CEO Wayne LaPierre, his family, and other NRA executives spent millions of the organization's dollars on lavish personal expenses. Daily, the NRA would send messages to my FB shilling for bucks. Poor little dears had the wolf at the door. Trump and his billionaire buddies will do any underhanded stunt to keep up their lavish lifestyles...Trump is hoping that the average American won't notice their grocery bills going up astronomically while he wines and dines with the 1%. Sounds kinda like the trump family using our taxpayer money!

NRA dissidents cautiously welcome lawsuit, see overhaul as long overdueNational Rifle Association members who have been alleging corruption within the gun lobby's leadership for years have cautiously welcomed a lawsuit from New York state that threatens to dissolve the foremost champion of gun rights in the United States. The lawsuit is politically motivated. James has referred to the NRA publicly as a “terrorist organization”. These same politicians call a law-abiding organization a “terrorist organization” but won't call Antifa who is burning down cities a terrorist organization. Such hypocrisy. How can we be a cleverer promotion of division and Russian division of democratic values? Thats one way to spin it!
