Food For Thought
I think it bears mentioning that the protests have been generally peaceful. Most of the rioting and property destruction were carried out by people outside the BLM movement; anarchists and their ilk on the left, and boogaloo bois and their allies on the right. But keep in mind that those on the left have killed no one, while those on the right have killed three people so far, and have used the protests as cover to kill a law enforcement officer.
UPDATE: I typed too soon, It appears that a pro-Trump protester was shot and killed in Portland last night.

NRA Leaders Accused of Fraud
In her lawsuit, Attorney General Letitia James called for the dissolution of the NRA and the removal of CEO Wayne LaPierre from the leadership post he has held for the past 39 years, saying he and others used the group’s funds to finance a luxury lifestyle.
She also asked a New York court to force LaPierre and three key deputies to repay NRA members for the ill-gotten funds and inflated salaries that her investigation found they took.
Its important to remember that this lawsuit is about fraud. It has nothing to do with the 2nd Amendment or gun ownership. Attorney General Letitia James is accusing LaPierre and his lieutenants with stealing money from the membership.
That said, I'm positive this will be framed by LaPierre's defenders as an assault on gun owner's rights.
