New York AG sues to dissolve the NRA, alleging widespread fraud

The state of New York is suing to dissolve the National Rifle Association, according to court documents filed on Thursday.

The suit, which New York Attorney General Letitia James filed in New York state court, alleges that the NRA’s leadership spent funds improperly, engaged in self-dealing, and made false or misleading disclosures to the attorney general and the IRS.It comes at an immensely precarious moment for the gun group. The NRA spent big to help President Donald Trump get elected in 2016, but now faces serious financial challenges — in part because of hefty legal bills.

On top of that, the coronavirus pandemic has hit the NRA hard. It had to cancel its yearly meeting, which is usually a major fundraising event. And it’s laid off scores of employees. But even before the pandemic, the group’s leadership faced criticism for what many characterized as exorbitant spending. And an ugly legal fight with its former longtime advertising firm also pushed the group’s inner drama into the spotlight.

They have done so much destruction they deserve to go bankrupt and dissolve! I feel sorry for the employees though even though they’re probably Trumpers!!

Why aren't you talking about the ridiculous Trump email practices? In 2016, that was the biggest issue for you. What changed? I'm not a disgusting Republican activist like you, so I'm curious.

Planned Parenhood- kills over 300,000 babies annually in America- contributes to the demoncratic party & her candidates NRA- presumably contributes to deaths of less that 3000 people per annum- contributes to the Republican Party & great candidates Yet, only NRA is on d chop

If the N.Y. AG is sincerely worried about fraud, she would sue the Democratic Party.

Before long they gonna have to take a Republican senator or two off their payroll as well. Watch out tedcruz !

Then Teachers Unions should be desolved immediately.

Same AG, hmm....

🤷🏿‍♀️ oh well.

This is one scary person!

If they're on Medicare, they typically get a diagnosis-related group lump sum payment that would be $5,000. But if it's COVID-19 pneumonia, then it's $13,000, and if that COVID-19 pneumonia patient ends up on a ventilator, it goes up to $39,000.

Finally some balls, put Wayne LaPierre in jail.

Investigated the Trump Organization too. Where is that now?

If thats what it takes to dissolve a group or organization the Democrats are in trouble.

I hear Russia is nice this time of year.

Can't happen soon enough. The NRA is nothing but a terrorist organization. It used to be for hunters to learn how to use rifles safely, but even that is a misconception.
