New York sues to break up the NRA, accuses it of financial mismanagement
- 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 confrontation pits James, a Democrat, against the largest and most powerful gun organization in the United States, one closely aligned with President Donald Trump's Republican Party.
"Just like Radical Left New York is trying to destroy the NRA, if Biden becomes President your GREAT SECOND AMENDMENT doesn't have a chance," Trump said on Twitter."Your guns will be taken away, immediately and without notice. No police, no guns!" 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."
