New York Attorney General Letitia James announced Thursday that her office has filed a lawsuit against the National Rifle Association and its leadership, including Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre, looking to dissolve the organization.


James accused the organization of having "a culture of self-dealing," taking millions of dollars for personal use and granting contracts that benefited leaders' family and associates.

"The NRA's influence has been so powerful that the organization went unchecked for decades while top executives funneled millions into their own pockets," James said in a statement. "The NRA is fraught with fraud and abuse, which is why, today, we seek to dissolve the NRA, because no organization is above the law."

I am not a member. While I agree with some things they do there is a larger part that I do not agree with.
The stories about the funneling of monies to Executives and families have been rampant for years.
This lawsuit has interesting potential if it moves forward. What's to keep a conservative State AG, or group of conservative AGs, to go after liberal groups like BLM, Greenpeace, etc.

There has been talk of this for a while. I know a director that very recently resigned his position on the board because of the financial shadiness he supposedly saw. This dude was ride or die, too. I think there is probably something to these claims.

I think they should move the organization to Texas...

They are physically in Fairfax Virginia. The problem is, their Charter is in New York and that can't be moved I don't believe. Especially now that the charges have been filed.
