    New York’s attorney general sued the National Rifle Association on Thursday, seeking to put the powerful gun advocacy organization out of business over allegations that high-ranking executives diverted millions of dollars for lavish personal trips, no-show contracts for associates and other questionable expenditures.

    Attorney General Letitia James’ lawsuit, filed in state court in Manhattan after an 18-month investigation, highlighted misspending and self-dealing allegations that have roiled the NRA and its longtime leader, Wayne LaPierre, in recent years — from hair and makeup for his wife to a $17 million post-employment contract for himself.

    She doesn’t care if Wayne has a golden parachute clause in his contract, or if the association pays for he and his wife showing well at high profile events. She’s DELIGHTED with every dollar that’s spent less directly on fighting people like her as she seeks to put NY’s infringements on steroids. No, she’s looking to destroy the organization because she doesn’t want a coherent message coming from ANY such organization during the campaign season. This is entirely about bolstering Biden’s election chances, period.

    New York state's attorney general sued to dissolve the National Rifle Association on Thursday, alleging senior leaders of the non-profit group diverted millions of dollars for personal use and to buy the silence and loyalty of former employees.

    The lawsuit announced by Attorney General Letitia James alleges NRA leaders paid for family trips to the Bahamas, private jets and expensive meals that contributed to a $64 million reduction in the NRA's balance sheet in three years, turning a surplus into a deficit.

    James alleged in a statement that NRA leaders "used millions upon millions from NRA reserves for personal use," failing to comply with the NRA's own internal policies in addition to state and federal law.

    In announcing the lawsuit, James told reporters the NRA "has operated as a breeding ground for greed, abuse and brazen illegality." She added "no one is above the law" - including the NRA.

    At the same time, the attorney general for Washington, D.C., filed suit against the NRA and its foundation, alleging the misuse of charitable funds and wasteful spending.

    The confrontation pits James, a Democrat, against the largest and most powerful gun organization in the United States, one that is closely aligned with President Donald Trump's Republican Party.

    Briefing reporters, James denied the suit was motivated by the NRA's support for Trump

    If they're going after the NRA's misdealings, let's make sure we go after other large non-profits while were at it. I worked in the nonprofit space for a number of years and I can tell you, first hand, that this type of stuff is everywhere.

    It's not a coincidence that we would refer to non-profit associations as travel clubs.

    Oh, this will be a Godawful mess. Probably the smartest course of action would be to organize a new NRA (legally papered in a safe state like West Virginia), then transfer all the assets of the old organization to it.

    The problem being that a new organization would need to flush out about 90% of the old organization's leadership.

    Hope La Pierre and cronies will be criminally charged. Rebuild the NRA as a legit org.
