Quote

 

NRA President Carolyn Meadows called the lawsuit "a baseless, premeditated attack," claiming it targeted not just the NRA, but the constitutional rights it defends.

 

"You could have set your watch by it:  the investigation was going to reach its crescendo as we move into the 2020 election cycle," Meadows said in a statement. "It’s a transparent attempt to score political points and attack the leading voice in opposition to the leftist agenda. This has been a power grab by a political opportunist – a desperate move that is part of a rank political vendetta. Our members won’t be intimidated or bullied in their defense of political and constitutional freedom.”

The NRA has nothing to do with the 2nd amendment. They're just a corrupt non-profit like the Trump Foundation.

You forgot the Clinton Foundation, Obamas foundation, BLM, those are just off the top of my head and I know there is more.

 

Oh yeah, I forgot Roger Godell and the non for profit NFL, yup them too.

Planned Parenthood is definitely not nonprofit.

 

It definitely is.

Planned Parenthood delivers vital reproductive health care, sex education, and information to millions of people worldwide. Planned Parenthood Federation of America, Inc. is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit under EIN 13-1644147. Donations are tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowable under the law.

It's interesting that they're more concerned with the NRA's internal finances than campaign finances of elected officials.

 

When AG goes after corrupt NPO's, you call for them to look into Trump's scandals. When they look into Trump's scandals, you call it a deep state conspiracy.

I read the article and honestly it doesn’t look good from a distance. Time will tell if things at the NRA are actually corrupt or not. 
 

However, two other things are also true:

 

1) this is clearly a politically motivated and timed event. 
 

2) No matter what is going on over there the inner working of the NRA don’t change the fact that firearm ownership is codified in the constitution and the only way to change that is to repeal that amendment. But since there’s not a chance in hell that would happen, we see the left do what they always do, resort to lawfare.

1. The NRA contributes and helps Republicans. Clearly designed to negate that support.

2. NYS is not interested in protecting members from corruption, but to destroy organization.

Yo Semite, 

What the F does that mean?

 

How many years have the Rs been saying this?

 

Barring committed a serious crime, has any of you lost your guns or the right to buy guns?

 

 

 

Google "NY SAFE ACT".

Planned Parenthood- The largest killer  of lack people in the country.  Why isn't BLM protesting them? Founded by Margret Sanger, a eugenicist. Read her writings.

Confusing a marketing organization with the 2nd amendment is bizarre.

It's common knowledge, now, that the money NRA members contribute isn't going to theupholding of the 2nd amendment. It's going into the pockets of big-time criminals, yet the same people being fleeced are not complaining about the organization's leaders stealing their money.

 

Criminals love stupid people.

Freakish obsession with abortion.  

So if I have this right you’re more concerned about closing stores where law abiding people can walk out having purchased a metal tool that MIGHT one day be used to kill someone, than you are with closing stores who’s sole purpose is so that people can walk out having been sold on the idea of ACTUALLY killing someone that very day ?

Whenever the far left loses a debate, it doesn’t sharpen its arguments or seek compromise. Instead, it criminalizes those with whom it disagrees. That’s happening now in New York, where the attorney general is making a politicized attack on the National Rifle Association and the U.S. Constitution.

New York’s Democratic and radically anti-Trump Attorney General Letitia James’ move to “dissolve” the NRA comes after a phony “fraud” investigation that was launched as an intimidation tactic.

 

he suit against the National Rifle Association targets the group’s charismatic Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre and three other NRA leaders.

“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. “The NRA is fraught with fraud and abuse.”

 

But, really, James seems more interested in angling for a high-profile job in a future socialist White House than seeking justice. Charges that lavish spending by four executives led to $64 million in losses over three years doesn’t bear even casual financial scrutiny.

 

The NRA is not taking it lying down. It filed a countersuit late Thursday, with NRA President Carolyn Meadows calling James’ effort “a baseless, premeditated attack on our organization and the Second Amendment freedoms it fights to defend.”

 

Yup.

 

It’s obvious New York’s move isn’t about justice; it’s about the hard-left’s political animus toward gun rights.

 

But it’s typical of New York’s politicized justice system. Manhattan’s ultra-Democratic District Attorney Cyrus R. Vance Jr. has been investigating President Donald Trump with the same vigor and fidelity to truth as Christopher Steele “investigated” Trump’s supposed collusion with the Russians.

I'd agree the NRA is a corrupt organization and it starts with Wayne.  I think Wayne has been gorging himself on NRA dues for years.  

 

I'd agree the NY Attorney General probably has a million better cases to prosecute than this one, and since this case is politically motivated, it's probably poorly thought out, with flimsy evidence. It'll do absolutely nothing but make the NRA look like a martyr.  

 

I'd agree that the NRA has absolutely nothing to do with the 2nd Amendment.  They drape themselves in it but they aren't the last castle of defense for it.  

 

The NRA stopped representing the views of the majority of gun owners in America quite some time ago, probably in the 80s.

I’m sure you have those too.  But don’t worry, without a real job or any purpose, it’s okay for you to be a complete idiot.  

It's much easier when you post as Section8. All he does is type "fake news" or "hoax" and then make up some list to put you on.

So you are saying I’m actually the poster that posts completely different than me?  There’s that great lack of logic you love to show!

A member of the NRA should be fuming that their money is being stolen, but you see it differently. 

 

Give them more. Line the pockets of the criminals.

No but getting ammo here for some has been nearly impossible. What good is a firearm with no ammo?

Do you feel the same way about taxes?  If you do (and you should) here’s the big difference. One is 100% voluntary the other lands you in jail if you don’t participate.

In a word.....WHAT? It’s apparently your position that as long as something doesn’t impact you directly, today, that you simply don’t care? Interesting way of going through life. Let’s see if you still think that way the next time something bad actually happens to you or your family. I’m guessing at that time you’ll be screaming for answers as to how this was allowed to happen.

yes or no?

 

Me, no.

 

Vets that got a disability claim for PTSD after they got out, or people who saw a counselor during a nasty divorce and were diagnosed with depression, yes. The latter instance I know of one person, the former i know of second hand.

 

And don't get me started in the Red Flag laws...

Taxes at least go to some useful things.

 

Leaders of the NRA are taking donations supposedly in support of the 2nd amendment and putting it in their own pockets. That's a felony, no matter what else you bring up. The leaders who committed these crimes should be charged and put on trial.

 

Do you disagree?

 

If you think that's okay, anyway, send them more money.

You have proof they are embezzling?  If it’s true then yes they should be charged and sentenced accordingly. Until then I’ll wait. 
 

And if I disagree I should send them MORE money. What makes you think I’ve sent them any money?  You are very presumptuous which is a terrible look. 
 

And I love the use of the word “some” in your first sentence. So you’re saying there might be some embezzlement going in there too?  If so why are you not so adamant about investigating the government as you are the NRA. Again contributing to the NRA is voluntary whereas taxes are not.
