New York Attorney General Letitia James sued the NRA, alleging senior leaders of the non-profit group diverted millions of dollars for personal use, including multiple luxury hunting safaris in Africa
- New York state’s attorney general sued to dissolve the National Rifle Association on Thursday, alleging senior leaders of the non-profit group diverted millions of dollars for personal use and to buy the silence and loyalty of former employees.
James alleged in a statement that NRA leaders “used millions upon millions from NRA reserves for personal use,” failing to comply with the NRA’s own internal policies in addition to state and federal law. The actions are certain to further polarize a country where the NRA is revered by conservatives as a champion of the U.S. Constitution and its Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms while at the same time it is vilified by liberals as an enabler of rampant gun violence.
Biden has not called for confiscating guns. He has said he would seek to ban assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines, let people who own assault weapons sell them back voluntarily, and expand background checks. Apparently expecting James’ suit, the NRA fought back with the suit of its own in the Northern District of New York, saying James had been targeting the NRA politically ever since she ran for attorney general in 2018, vowing to take on the NRA which she called a “criminal enterprise.”
Briefing reporters, James denied the New York suit was motivated by the NRA’s support for Trump. Her written statement said the NRA’s power had gone unchecked for decades, “which is why, today, we seek to dissolve the NRA.”
