No. Really. The NRA is suing the NRA Foundation - its own charitable wing. We live in strange days indeed.


The NRA Sues NRA Foundation Alleging Misuse of Funds​

The NRA filed suit Monday against the NRA Foundation, alleging rogue leadership at the foundation misused about $160 million dollars.

FOX News reported that the NRA “alleged the foundation used its trademarks without authorization and diverted donations intended for NRA charitable programs.”

The lawsuit claims that the foundation is run by a group of former NRA board members who lost control of the NRA board and are now bitter. Reuters pointed out that the lawsuit describes the former board members as Wayne LaPierre “allies.”

NRA attorneys wrote, “The Foundation has been seized by a disgruntled faction of former NRA directors who lost control of the NRA’s Board following revelations of financial improprieties, mismanagement, and breaches of fiduciary duty and member trust.”

NBC News noted that the NRA alleges funds raised by the foundation were used in a way that goes against “the law of charitable trusts.”

Reuters quoted NRA CEO Doug Hamlin commenting on the lawsuit, saying, “This is a disappointing day, and it should not have come to this. A foundation established to support the National Rifle Association of America has taken actions that are adversarial at a time when the NRA is rebuilding and focused on its long-term mission.”

There seems to be tons of fraud, going on everywhere you look. It's like Mom, fraud, and apple pie now.

What’s weird is you didn’t read your own link and realize they are two seperate entities
 
The NRA has had issues for years with misallocation of funds.
 
Both have NRA in their name

That’s like saying the Red Sox and White Sox are the same entity because they both have Sox in their name
No its lime saying the NRA is fighting itself
. Gun owners know they are a shitstorm now.

No it’s not fighting ltself read the article. They are two different organizations

By your logic the white Sox are fighting themselves when they play the Red Sox

Most gun owners don’t belong to either
 
Did they misuse the Russian donations?

"Russian donations" :laughing0301:

The Russian government did not formally "donate" money to the National Rifle Association (NRA), but multiple investigations confirmed that small amounts of Russia-linked money flowed to the NRA, primarily from individuals for membership dues. The FBI and a Senate committee investigated whether Russian individuals illegally funneled money to the NRA to influence the 2016 U.S. election.

The NRA disclosed that between 2015 and April 2018, it received approximately $2,512.85 from individuals associated with Russian addresses or known Russian nationals living in the U.S.. Most of this amount was for routine membership dues and magazine subscriptions, with only about $525 classified as contributions from two individuals.
 
**** the NRA with a piece of rusty rebar.

You want your pro-2A dollar to be put to good use join the SAF, GOA, and your state grassroots .org.

Just be wary you state .org isn't tied in with the NRA. If so you are just wasting your money.
Wayne LaPierre was a corrupt narcissist on a level with Tim Walz and Gavin Newsom.
I left the NRA years ago solely because of that sleazebag.
