The National Rifle Association filed for bankruptcy, a sudden development that could help the gun-rights group escape a lawsuit by New York's attorney general seeking its dissolution

- The National Rifle Association on Friday filed for bankruptcy, a sudden development that could help the gun rights group escape a lawsuit by New York’s attorney general seeking its dissolution.

“Texas values the contributions of the NRA, celebrates our law-abiding members, and joins us as a partner in upholding constitutional freedom,” Chief Executive Wayne LaPierre said in a letter to members. “We seek protection from New York officials who illegally abused and weaponized the powers they wield against the NRA and its members.”

James said NRA officials diverted millions of dollars to fund luxury lifestyles, including vacations and private jets, and to buy the silence and loyalty of former employees, costing the group $64 million over three years.

Best news of week so far👍

Cowards.

Forensic audit needed on LaPierre (sic?). Armani suits, jetsetting on NRA funds. Turn him on his head and shake out his pockets.

BlockTheNRAReorg DissolveTheNRA -creditors will truly be the ones screwed by this, so I don’t really care about all the idiots who willingly gave them money. But WayneLaPierre needs to be sent to jail. NRAIsATerroristOrganization

Congrats NRA on going from ‘From my cold, dead hands’ to RUN AWAY, RUN AWAY! Jackasses.

so are no laws for fraudulently claiming bankruptcy solely to get out of prosecution? really? has no criminal organization ever tried this before? sounds like that really should be a law! all those republican lawyers should get their licenses stripped for participating in this 2

“said it was not insolvent, with LaPierre adding that it was “as financially strong as we have been in years.” How can they file for bankruptcy and make this statement?

Oh! “Thoughts and prayers”

New political party called NRA ,with Trump as leader, !!

This should be looked at very carefully especially with the amount of backing they have continuously had from Trump

Also to potentially prevent being named as a co-conspiracy insurrection supporter.

We don’t need guns. We got the best security in the western world. NRA IS JUST AN ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY. Get your money out first. It all over. My opinion

Guns, Corruption and Trump just go together!

oh, how the mighty have fallen. :p

ny ag said NOPE

So the bullies are showing they're cowards. What a suprise.
