NY Attorney General lawsuit seeks to dissolve National Rifle Association


This isn't political at all....

I personally feel that Wayne needs to go, but the organization and membership should be pushing him out, not some NY Democrat.

The New York Attorney General is filed a lawsuit against the National Rifle Association on Thursday, seeking to dissolve the powerful gun lobby for a multitude of alleged violations of state law governing charities.

Attorney General Letitia James accused the NRA of an array of ?illegal conduct,? according to a press release describing the suit, including ?[the] diversion of millions of dollars away from the charitable mission of the organization for personal use by senior leadership, awarding contracts to the financial gain of close associates and family, and appearing to dole out lucrative no- show contracts to former employees in order to buy their silence and continued loyalty.?

The civil lawsuit, filed in Manhattan Supreme Court, also names as defendants longtime NRA CEO Wayne LaPierre and three other NRA executives ? Wilson ?Woody? Philips, John Frazer and Joshua Powell ? and seeks their removal from their current positions and prohibition from their future service on any other New York-based nonprofit board. Those four executives ?failed to fulfill their fiduciary duty to the NRA,? James alleged, ?and used millions upon millions from NRA reserves for personal use, including trips for them and their families to the Bahamas, private jets, expensive meals, and other private travel.?

The lawsuit singled out LaPierre, in particular, for enabling a culture of self-dealing, mismanagement, and negligent oversight at the NRA, often for his personal benefit.

So... I guess the Clinton Foundation is next then?

Oh, no... There has to be allegations of wrongdoing. By a democrat AG. Otherwise it doesn't count.

I'm guessing this NY AG isn't really hopeful she'll actually get the NRA dissolved...probably just want's to spend them into oblivion.

It could be a blessing in disguise.

Well, that would be one less organization supporting gun control measures.

As much as I despise WLP this is bs.

Didn't take long for the NRA to counter-sue. Sounds like the AG said some pretty ugly things in her campaign that might come back to biter her in the ass.

Wayne should have been ousted a decade ago, but that’s not what it’s about. They’re just trying to bleed them.

He's got a mighty nice gold parachute.

Hey, the DC DA has got a suit against the NRA too, and on the same day! What a coincidence!

(Said by anyone with a brain...NEVER.)
