No Rifle Association?

Submitted by ub on

The NRA will go away if the New York State Attorney General has anything to say. Her lawsuit sets up a legal confrontation that could take years to play out and will leave the 148-year-old #NRA long the nation’s most influential gun-rights lobby but recently hobbled by financial woes and infighting in question.

The chief executive of the NRA allegedly engaged in a decades-long pattern of fraud by draining $64 million from the nonprofit in just three years, according to a lawsuit filed by NY AG Letitia James. She is calling for the NRA's dissolution.

Ms. James is suing to completely dissolve the National Rifle Association over the organization's financial misdealings. "The NRA isn't an advocacy group, it's a corrupt lobby for gun manufacturers, and has been for decades. They promote weapons of war on our streets. We'll be better without them." #VetsVsTheNRA
