After all, there was a time where the NRA supported sensible gun legislation and even drafted the legislation requiring permits for concealed weapons. Could it be that the NRA's true motivations were not necessarily protecting gun-rights, so much as they were to stoke the flames of the gun-rights debate to drive donations to line their pockets and take trips to the Bahamas? It's just a theory, but I don't think it's a bad one. While some may find these to be some shocking revelations (and I'd wager we've only seen the beginning), are they really? I mean, this is an organization that was so fervently pro-gun that they lobbed insults at survivors of a school shooting.
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." "The NRA's influence has been so powerful that the organization went unchecked for decades while top executives funneled millions into their own pockets. There are also allegations that he, alongside other top-ranking members of the NRA, used "millions upon millions from NRA reserves for personal use, including trips for them and their families to the Bahamas, private jets, expensive meals, and other private travel." Said James, in her statement: One such example is how Wayne LaPierre, the long time CEO of the NRA, used charitable funds to secure a post-employment contract worth over $17 million. The NRA files as a non-profit organization making the dozens of allegations of financial misconduct against it all the more egregious.
It's the type of scandal that will undoubtedly have a docu-series on Netflix someday because if you thought the McMillions dudes were corrupt, wait until you get a load of this whopp- ergh. The National Rifle Association has officially shot themselves in the foot, or perhaps an even more fatal organ, as New York Attorney General, Letitia James, is looking to dissolve the NRA following an 18-month investigation of alleged fraud and abuse.
