From the article: "What makes this whole situation even worse, is the fact that the NRA is chartered in New York. That means that New York law applies, and that means that the rabidly anti-NRA and anti-gun NY Attorney General Letitia James, working under the rabidly anti-NRA and anti-gun Governor Andrew Cuomo, will be in charge of the investigation and any “corrective” action."
Wow! I had no idea the NRA was chartered in New York. I'm surprised the Cuomo hasn't gone after them more thoroughly.
In way, maybe all of this is a good thing for the NRA. It's become a bloated organization more concerned with making money for it's top executives than actually advancing gun rights. It needs to have a correction. Having said that, if the NRA "fails" my fear is that all the anti-gunners will be empowered and there will be no stopping them and their agenda. As much as I like Gun Owners of America, the Second Amendment Foundation, and others, they don't have the same sway on Capitol Hill as the NRA does.

What exactly do they sway on Capitol Hill besides firearm restrictions?

I hope GOA, FPC and/or SAF have planned for this and are ready to fill the lobbying void. If they're ready, let the NRA burn. We'll all be better for it.
You have to wonder with the SCOTUS on the side of the constitution why has been NO hearings on the SAFEACT or any other laws in NYastan being faught?!

With all the anti-gun laws that have been being passed throughout the country I can't imagine we would be any worse off without the NRA.

NRA does not "lobby" in NY in the sense people think they do. They never talk to Democrats and no nothing to explain their position on the issues.

I was always against Wayne, he's and over paid blow hard and in general, give up to quickly. I am a GOA member, no compromise, no backing down

Lobby was not what I had in mind, fighting and winning in the courts builds confidence and thus backing, if they do nothing to help they should be aloud to fold....
You have to wonder if they don't lobby or fight in NY courts because they are afraid of NYS investigating their financials.

No. I believe the problem is two-fold:
- NRA does not keep track of what work, if any, their state reps. actually do. There is no quality control in ILA.
- NRA is a conservative organization which does not want to represent liberals for reasons having nothing to do with 2A. They are essentially blinded by their own ideology.

Because that would require them to SPEND money rather than collect it.
What lobbying void? It's been found out that the NRA only spends 3% of the money they bring in on lobbying and legal battles..
So I'm trying to figure out, with them gone, what void will there be,
The NRA doesnt "lobby" anywhere in the sense NRA apologist pretend they do.
All they do is beg for more money, pay themselves, help get more gun control passed when business is down so they can make more money. And very rarely will they find a small case that looks like a slam dunk, quickly attach their name to it after others have done the leg work and claim victory like they have been in the trenches doing the work
Not true at all, the NRA is a ponzy scheme not a "conservative organization" and well they themselves have nothing to do with the 2A except keeping it under attack so they can make money off those who are still WILLFULLY IGNORANT to their scam

But I thought they were bankrupt when Cuomo kicked their fake ass bunk insurance programme out of NY so cant do refunds

Maybe the have some political power and maybe it's all smoke and mirrors. Either way, if they fall the grabbers are gonna figure it's open season. I think we'll definitely need a gun rights organization to step up.
It's already open season. The NRA has been behind most of the largest gun control measures federally than "anti gunners"
Like to think otherwise you would have to be willfully ignorant or pro gun control

Because if the NRA goes under, they'll have no hands to put the blood on.

Funny that both the compaint about the NRA's non profit status and the expose / dossier were all funded by Mike Bloomberg's non profits. Likewise the political operatives challenging this were all in Bloomberg's Mayoral administration.

If the NRA genuinely fought for all gun owners then there would not be so many of us that are dissatisfied with them.
