Have not heard much about this organization and wonder how many here contributed. Appears they might be in trouble.

Judge Dismisses NRA Bankruptcy Case, Heightening Risk For Dissolution Of Group

quote:

A federal bankruptcy judge dismissed an effort by the National Rifle Association to declare bankruptcy on Tuesday, ruling that the gun rights group had not filed the case in good faith. The ruling slams the door on the NRA's attempt to use bankruptcy laws to evade New York officials seeking to dissolve the organization. In his decision, the federal judge said that "using this bankruptcy case to address a regulatory enforcement problem" was not a permitted use of bankruptcy. The bankruptcy trial had paused other legal challenges the NRA had been facing, but this decision returns the group to its confrontation with the New York attorney general, who is seeking to shut it down over alleged "fraud and abuse."

NRA has itself to blame with their corrupt leadership. I’m a member, but pissed at their management...

Democrats have to get rid of the NRA. Hopefully they survive. They are one of the best influencers and get out the vote organizations on the right. That's why the Democrats hate the NRA.

NRA can get fricked. They deserve everything coming at them for their corruption. There are better orgs out there.

Perhaps this will lead to NRA with some fresh blood at the helm or spawn a new organization. I haven't been a member for several years as they were not exactly inspiring.

Well. From a financial standpoint, this means they have too much money to file bankruptcy.

The NRA is the oldest civil rights organization in the U.S.

If the state of New York is going to set the precedent of attacking civil rights organizations via lawfare, then I have a list too.

How about the SPLC for starters?

I agree with others that the NRA needs lots of fixing, but I don't agree that the state of New York is the one to do it. New York's attorney general should not have the power to shut down a national organization.

So why doesn’t the NRA just form a new entity in a friendlier state and merge the old one into it?

New York would lose all leverage at that point.
