Judge Blocks New York Attorney General’s Attempt to Dissolve NRA

A judge on March 2 dismissed an attempt by New York Attorney General Letitia James to dissolve the National Rifle Association (NRA).

New York Supreme Court Justice Joel Cohen said the allegations against the NRA did not meet the requirements to order its dissolution.

James, a Democrat, has claimed that top NRA executives siphoned millions of dollars from the organization and is seeking restitution and other financial relief from four current and former NRA officers. She had also moved for dissolving the NRA, arguing doing so was in the interest of both the public and NRA members.

But the allegations “concern primarily private harm to the NRA and its members and donors, which if proven can be addressed by the targeted, less intrusive relief she seeks through other claims in her complaint,” Cohen said in his ruling.

“The complaint does not allege that any financial misconduct benefited the NRA, or that the NRA exists primarily to carry out such activity, or that the NRA is incapable of continuing its legitimate activities on behalf of its millions of members. In short, the complaint does not allege the type of public harm that is the legal linchpin for imposing the ‘corporate death penalty,'” he added.

Not even the Californian Attorney General has pressed such charges against BLM for being delinquent or buying expensive mansions and luxury cars with donors' money, yet, New York General Attorney felt she was in need of protecting NRA members from the NRA itself arguing they were stealing their money without providing any valid proof to substantiate her own claims.
