They're a domestic terrorist
They're a domestic terrorist operation. They've gone from education and sporting and marksmanship to mass killing.
This is gonna fire up the base, though. Hopefully there aren't enough of them left to make any difference.
In a lawsuit filed on
In a lawsuit filed on Thursday, state Attorney General Letitia James said she found the NRA lost more than $64 million over three years.
The 18-month investigation discovered that top executives funneled contracts to friends and family members and used charitable funds for their own personal gain.
“The NRA’s influence has been so powerful that the organization went unchecked for decades while top executives funneled millions into their own pockets,” James said in a statement, according to NPR. “The NRA is fraught with fraud and abuse, which is why, today, we seek to dissolve the NRA, because no organization is above the law.”
Evil.
