New York AG seeks to dissolve NRA in new lawsuit

[Tahuyaman]

These idiots don't understand that their nutball actions are being tattooed to RACIST JOE'S ass. Every time some idiot pulls a stunt like this, RACIST JOE loses a few hundred thousand votes.

I haven't heard Biden comment on this and he won't until someone on his staff develops a response and has a chance to have Joe rehearse.

Millions of people know that if the Democrats control both the legislative and aaexecutive branches, certain constitutional rights will be at risk. Primarily the second amendment followed by freedom of speech.

Just for the record, someone can be a flaming liberal visible in outer space and still be supportive of the second amendment and NRA.

Yes, and one could be nearly brain dead but still run for president.

Sounds like they are claiming that NRA leadership is guilty of commingling corporate and personal funds - a major legal no-no, of course, but even if it were all true I can't see the organization being in any real danger of being "dissolved" as a result.

Agree, not sure why the AG added that part.

The AG must be a Soros funded leftist.

Funny though. They'll go after a peaceful group, but the leftists can riot, loot, burn, maim, and kill all they want. lol

Or Bloomberg. They are trying to tie up a group that will support conservatives at election time. Hopefully the NRA will double down instead and protect the millions of new gun owners created by fear of the left.

Karl Racine, the attorney general for Washington, D.C., also filed a lawsuit against the the NRA and its charitable organization for “misusing charitable funds to support wasteful spending by the NRA and its executives.”
“Charitable organizations function as public trusts—and District law requires them to use their funds to benefit the public, not to support political campaigns, lobbying, or private interests,” Racine said in a statement announcing the lawsuit. “With this lawsuit, we aim to recover donated funds that the NRA Foundation wasted. District nonprofits should be on notice that the Office of the Attorney General will file suit if we find evidence of illegal behavior.”
The District of Columbia’s lawsuit seeks to return charitable funds “improperly wasted” on the NRA to the NRA Foundation, an independent charity affiliated with the association, and major changes to the foundation so it “fulfills its charitable purposes.”
James said she intends to file the state’s complaint with the Internal Revenue Service about possible violations of the Internal Revenue Code.


In a statement to the Washington Examiner, NRA President Carolyn Meadows described the lawsuit as an assault on the Second Amendment.



“This was a baseless, premeditated attack on our organization and the Second Amendment freedoms it fights to defend. You could have set your watch by it: the investigation was going to reach its crescendo as we move into the 2020 election cycle. It’s a transparent attempt to score political points and attack the leading voice in opposition to the leftist agenda," Meadows said. "This has been a power grab by a political opportunist — a desperate move that is part of a rank political vendetta. Our members won’t be intimidated or bullied in their defense of political and constitutional freedom.”
“As evidenced by the lawsuit filed by the NRA today against the NYAG, we not only will not shrink from this fight — we will confront it and prevail," Meadows continued......snip~



DC wants then to pay funds back. At least they were able to discern the difference between the Foundation and the Association. Lettita should hope she didnt confuse the two.


Let the NRA bankrupt New York. The rich are leaving anyways.

ANYONE associated with the government of New York State has ABSOLUTELY NO ROOM TO TALK WHATSOEVER about corrupt business practices.

Just another example of liberals weaponizing government against their political opponents.

They aren't even attempting to hide it anymore.

She HATES the President and has VOWED to get him.

Not sure what the deal is. The article makes it sound like a civil case and not a criminal case. But the AG uses criminal language.

NY ripped the NRA a new one when they made the murder insurance policies illegal. NRA cried, but to no avail. There's no question that the officers in the NRA have been misusing member donations for years.

The dark money wing of the NRA political donations is suspect as well.
