The New York attorney general, filed a lawsuit today seeking to dissolve the National Rifle Association, alleging that years of corruption irreparably undermined its ability to operate as a nonprofit.
This will be interesting... |

I don't own a firearm but I do support 2A, and I support the responsible ownership of firearms by responsible owners.
I also supported the NRA until 1993 when they lobbied for the Dickey amendment, which prohibits the CDC from using its funds to research gun violence in the USA. I've been against the NRA ever since. The "organization" is nothing more than a very profitable lobby group now. And apparently a corrupt one that has put membership money into the pockets of its officers instead of spending it on its own causes. They never should've gotten their non-prof status in the first place. They can re-create themselves if they are dissolved, but their current incarnation is spoiled and unrecoverable, in my opinion. |

Wow!!
Guilty by media until proven innocent. Suggests a pattern of concern! |

It sure seems like a bogus lawsuit with an agenda to me. There are thousands of nonprofit organizations that are just as corrupt or more corrupt than the NRA. Why isn't the NY attorney general suing them?

I also, as I said in my previous post, stopped supporting the NRA back in 1993. It's not political for ME at all. |

The state should be protecting the rights of the members, not terminating their association due to bad leadership. Charges should be filed against the individuals that took advantage of their position and if possible restitution to the membership.

absolutely agree...let's look into the huge salaries that the Red Cross pays themselves that's the reason that I stopped donating to them...they're more interested in lining their own pockets than sending the money where it can do the most good |

Just NY's way to retaliate against all the law suits brought against Cuomo by gun owners and firearms dealers. He never stops the assault!

I quit supporting them because of their position on ar15’s and ak47’s. No need for anyone to own those weapons. I have my share of guns but no seni-automatics

Responsible firearm owners would gladly have assault type weapons become illegal if it came with an iron clad agreement to end all further crusades against other types of firearms. Last edited by tophcfa; 08-06-2020 at 09:17 PM. |

Guess they wanted headlines from a source that would support this.

Which one would you suggest going after ahead of these guys? Seems like a pretty big fish to me and therefore a worthwhile exercise.

I think your initial point is absolutely correct. However, if the organization itself is corrupt, and in this case not operating as non-profit, then perhaps dissolving it and starting over may be the better course of action.
