Trump was right again...New York Attorney General files lawsuit to dissolve NRA

âI donât trust them any moreâ: how the NRA became its own worst enemy

The most powerful gun lobby in the world has strayed from its core purpose and shot itself in the foot

www.theguardian.com

LaPierre, in charge of the NRA’s day-to-day operations for nearly three decades, stands accused of spending millions of dollars on luxury black car services and private jet trips, including eight visits to the Bahamas, as well as accepting expensive gifts such as African safaris, hair and makeup for his wife and use of a 107-foot yacht. He also engineered a $17m post-employment contract for himself, according to the lawsuit.

All of this suggests an organisation that thinks it is above the law. Contributions are meant to promote Gun ownership and not Yachts and safaris. It all suggests a culture where top execs enrich themselves at the expense of the members. Those members should be pleased that their interests are being protected and the pigs are being removed from the trough.

This isn't about getting corrupt officials.....this is all about the democrat party targeting a group that was about to spend millions of dollars in political ads in battleground states........

It also reveals the that the democrats are going to do everything they can to take power in the United States...which should worry you tommy......once they wrech the U.S. there won't be anyone to support your welfare state....

Or...an alternative theory...and hear me out...is that it's about getting corrupt officials.
That's plausible right?

No, because the person making these charges is a Cuomo lackey in the NY DA office and this is nothing more than a political hit job to clear the NRA from obstructing their gun grabbing plans.

The NRA is NOT a government agency.

I don't understand the importance of your last sentence.
Can't private organisaions be guilty of fraud?

Have members of the NRA brought the complaint of fraud to the DA, or is it just the DA making a baseless allegation?

You've already decided it's baseless?
Why are you so quick to give them a pass on corruption...is it because they represent your side?

Why are you so quick to believe any and every outrages accusation made by a Democrat?

Do you think that even if there was a smidgen of truth in this, that it would warrant a dissolving of the entire Organization from NY? Do you subscribe to assigning a death penalty to jay walking?

And...I'm no law expert but...I think the basis of the claim is that the NRA has special requirements under its tax-free status to manage its finances correcetly.
That's where the NYAG jurisdiction comes from.

Does the NYAG bring dissolving tactics against every single 501c3 organization that is accused of fraud?

What about charges of fraud against the Clinton Foundation. They too enjoy a non-profit status.

Just the opposite. They should stay and fight as if they are in a war. Because they are. Pull out all the stops and stop with the PC language. Call them what they are.

Democrats rationalize why we can’t have nice things by villain-izing folks. We can’t solve the climate crisis because of the Kochs. We can’t fix the economy because of Wall Street. And we can’t control guns because of the NRA. Such narratives have some truth but miss the bigger picture: To enact legislation in a republic, you need a broad coalition. Successful coalitions require bipartisanship to contain inevitable opposition from large groups of voters, not just small cabals of elites

 

[Dragonlady]

I read her complaint. Is she also going to apply the law to Planned Parenthood and politicians who may have received kickbacks or donations?

Are Planned Parenthood incorporated in the State of New York? Are they in financial difficulty because of fraud and bribery by the President and other leaders of the organization?

This is why the NRA has been attacking the FBI since before Trump was elected. The NRA spent $30 million on Trump's election, more than double any other candidate in history. And they did so at a time when the organization was having financial difficulties, and Wayne LaPierre was hanging out with Marina Buttina and going to Russia to help a non-existant Russian "gun rights group". So the FBI investigated.

Notice how Donald Trump is going after the FBI for investigating people who are involved with Russians. Meanwhile Russia is meddling with the 2020 Election to help Donald Trump get re-elected.

"This is communism at its best. Trying to ban organizations with different political views!" - Don Jr

There is no effort to "ban" the NRA. There is an attempt to clean up a non-profit which has been taken over by a criminal gang. Kind of like organized crime gangs taking over the trucker's union back in the 1960's. They were prosecuted as well. And for many of the same crimes.

And we can’t control guns because of the NRA

The objective to "control guns" is the problem, not the existence of the NRA.

The NRA has had internal problems with waste, fraud, abuse, and embezzlement, that's for sure, but none of those are valid reasons to shut down an organization that advocates for gun safety as well as gun rights and other Constitutional rights.

If the non profit arm did things illegally they are indeed at risk of losing that status.

Damned skinheads didn't cut so much hair, maybe Dylan Roof wouldn't have shot them up like they so richly deserved.

Great news. Nobody is above the law. Charitable donations are not meant to fund a 5 star lifestyle.

It's utterly ridiculous.

For Christ's sake, we have scout masters and priests banging little boys, but no one is trying to dissolve the Boy Scouts or the Roman Catholic Church. Why is that? Is someone stealing money (and we've yet to really see any evidence of that) somehow worse than what's happened with the Boys Scouts or the Church?

This hag of an Attorney General couldn't give a shit about actually holding someone accountable for their misdeeds. She simply sees it as an opportunity to advance her leftist, anti-American agenda. Idiots will, of course, laud her decision to do this, but it's a pipe dream. The idiots are just too fucking stupid to know it.

But, if she were to actually succeed, does she honestly believe that there aren't enough good Americans to create an organization to take the place of the NRA?

This is folly on her part, and a complete waste of taxpayer money. If she wants to investigate financial improprieties, I suggest she find a mirror...
