    NY Attorney General files suit to demolish NRA...

    ...The allegations are mainly about the people who run the organization. She claims they used millions of NRA dollars for their own personal benefit. Of course the NRA is fighting back. Here is the story:

    The National Rifle Association is fighting back against a lawsuit filed Thursday by New York’s attorney general by submitting its own civil suit against state officials.

    The AG is getting in the middle of an ongoing fight that is already pretty nasty. Wayne has been living large in documented ways for some time now. Close family and friends getting nice salaries. Naturally Trump sees this and claims they're being treated very badly. But it's not just the NY AG seeing this.

      NRA leadership has put the NRA in a precarious financial situation. NY and DC AGs are hit the NRA at their weakest location, Wayne LaPierre.

        LaPierre & his cronies should resign at once & the NRA Board appoint a caretaker adm., which they have the legal authority to do.

        However, LaPierre's transgressions are merely the excuse--the State Dictator of NY has been waging a personal battle with NRA since he took office, doing such things as preventing NRA from offering many programs within the state, such as range & personal insurance.

          Capone got busted by the Treasury Department. Same thing for Wayne and the NRA leadership. They broke the law, or are accused of doing so. They had a responsibility to not do so, and therefore become a target of external organizations not friendly to the NRA's charter.

            Speaking of "unfriendly," who cares to guess the attitude toward shooters, hunters, sportsmen in general, of the AG who filed this suit?

              Well she did ask that dues be refunded to members as part of a settlement.

                This has been going on for years and years. Goes back to before when La Pierre was suddenly a Vice President. He was in an elected position. BUT was never elected to it!!! I had hoped the revolt had finally put an end to the apparent corruption within the NRA but the slick Wayne just was nice and quiet and then just kept feeding at the NRA's table. He was not even a good spokesman on tv. Better then nothing but not good. All of this was why I dropped my membership years ago. There are a couple of better but not well funded pro gun organizations around. They are the ones that destroyed the NRA's sacred cows like no guns in DC or Morton Grove. They have done more then the NRA who used these to raise more and more money for their own use and not the members. I can only say they have finally gotten what they askedfor and we the gun owners are better off if it can be reborn like a phoenix. Back to what it once was.

                  The object of the suit would be moot if Wayne did the honorable thing by resigning--even if he sincerely believes the charges are unfounded, because he OUGHT to believe (but clearly doesn't) that the future of NRA is more important than himself! Even more honorable would be jumping off the top of the NRA bldg, because even if he resigns he'll be made to testify in court.

                  His conduct in this great crisis--fighting desperately to hold on to his power, regardless of the damage done to NRA--proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that he's unworthy to hold his position.
