Judge slaps down NY AG on trying to shut down the NRA.
Sorry Darling, It's the folks in cities like New York, Chicago, Baltimore, and Sacramento who are killing other folks. Not the guns.
NY AG is out of her league. NRA CEO Wayne LaPierre
In August of 2020 the loon AG from NY came up with this crazy idea that she would shut down and decertify the NRA? How crazy is that? Well her lawsuit can continue, but in a 42 page decision, that put her in her place. We have this from GP.
Manhattan Judge Joel M. Cohen said allegations of NRA officials misspending on personal trips, no-show contracts and other questionable expenditures can be addressed by other remedies, such as fines and restitution, and do not warrant the “corporate death penalty” that Attorney General Letitia James had sought.
James’ lawsuit, filed in August 2020, tells “a grim story of greed, self-dealing, and lax financial oversight” at the NRA’s highest levels, but it does not allege any financial misconduct benefited the organization or harmed the public, or that the NRA is incapable of “continuing its legitimate activities on behalf of its millions of members,” Cohen wrote in a 42-page decision.
The judge also raised concerns that shutting down the NRA could impinge the free speech and assembly rights of its millions of members.
