BREAKING: New York attorney general is filing a lawsuit seeking to dissolve the National Rifle Association for alleged violations of state law governing charities.
Protests erupt and a rally for gun reform all take place outside the NRA's first convention since the shooting at Parkland High School.
The civil lawsuit, expected to be filed in Manhattan Supreme Court on Thursday, also names as defendants longtime NRA CEO Wayne LaPierre and three other NRA executives – John Frazier, Woody Phillips and Joshua Powell – and seeks their removal from their current positions and prohibition from their future service on any other New York-based nonprofit board.
James wants to see the entire nearly 150-year-old organization, which is chartered in New York, “shuttering its doors.” The NRA has been a major force in Republican Party politics for decades and, more recently, has emerged as a key source of support for President Donald Trump. In the 2016 election, various arms of the NRA were responsible for directing more than $50 million into political campaigns, including $30 million to back then-candidate Trump, according the federal election data compiled by the Center for Responsive Politics.
