I think the prosecutor over stepped. instead of targeting the wrong-doers (ala Wayne), she is going after the entire organization.
She is swinging for the fences, IMHO...

Because it's a boogeyman, and there's political prestige in slaying it. You guys are overthinking this. The NRA, through extreme mismanagement and corruption, made itself ineffective and open to attack. That's on them.

No chance this happens! None. These people have been trying to end the NRA for years! It will hurt but not end it. I believe we need to rally around the NRA now more than ever!
That would indeed be her.

Um... Litigious James?? Then why have no individuals been charged with wrongdoing?

Let’s see.....we’ll, the Clinton Foundation used funds to pay for Chelsea’s wedding. But hey, they’re Dimocrats! They’re allowed to break the law with no consequences.

Ohio speaker recently got caught taking over $60 million
You really think she cares about dues paying NRA members? For one second?
I think if we/she wanted to go after corruption , going after Congress and the Senate (Government) would be a better catch and result more issues . But we all know what this is about and it is payback . Although i feel the NRA right now is the same as the wasteful , lying government they are sorta like Fat Larry and that is the best we can do right now until another fat guy comes along better .
The NRA needs to listen to the members , it says it does but it don't appear that way to me based on this board alone .

Wayne LP brought this upon the NRA. Living in a glass ouse like that in which every Soros bought AG is going to be coming after the organization, the organization MUST be above reproach. Wayne LP has been in office too long and spend money with reckless abandon. I am a life member and I vote and always vote against the incumbents for this very reason! Absolute power corrupts.

I believe that she, and anyone else seeking to kill off the NRA, only wants it as a feather in their cap. They can say, “Look, I took out The mighty NRA!” as they campaign for some higher office.
They don’t care about any actual principles, or the common good.

*****The NRA will not be taken down by the AG of New York. The Teamsters were run by the flippin' mob and they are still around after major changes, and I know the courts forced other organizations to fire their board of directors and management but still allowed the organization itself to continue on - especially one the size of the NRA. They will force WLP and others out, but the NRA will survive.
The Trump Organization, a much much smaller organization was forced to dissolve for charitable funds violations and other issues, but it didn't really fight back on many of the allegations that plenty of other organizations have been accused of and done (Clinton Foundation, National Action Network, Rainbow Push, Goodwill, lots of others Etc...). It wasn't worth the money to fight it all for such a relatively small part of a pretty impressive portfolio that generates decent money, or at least did.
My best guess is WLP and the board will be gone, but to dissolve such a big organization in the midst of a political season for president is so egregiously political there would be monumental pushback from other organizations and new lawsuits and discovery for many of the lefts pet organizations that *many* retired politicos make their living from post politics. Plenty of old politicos only source of income is the think tank or charitable board positions and lobbying for these organizations.
I just don't see it happening, and I hope I am right. I just bought more instructor shirts and a really cool shot glass with a bullet in it to help support WLP's expensive tastes, until he gets kicked out.
I'm not happy with the NRA either but the fact remains they are the 800# gorilla that has tremendously high name recognition and still has great influence on everything from politics to safe firearm instruction, events, and making trouble for gun grabbers.

The selected passages are just a small part of it. The length of the list was impressive.
Obviously I chose the wrong career path. Head of a non-profit organization should’ve been my goal.

Agreed, I don’t think she can actually do it. Just commenting on the motivation for her attempt. She wants the political “street cred” that comes with being able to say she took on the NRA.
I don’t actually know anything about her individually, but politicians are mostly all the same and I know a grandstanding effort when I see one.
