NRA Leaders Accused of Fraud

This is a pretty big development. 

The chief executive of the National Rifle Association and several top lieutenants engaged in a decades-long pattern of fraud to raid the coffers of the powerful gun rights group for personal gain, according to a lawsuit filed Thursday by the New York attorney general, draining $64 million from the nonprofit in just three years.

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.
