Judge Rules New York Lawsuit Seeking NRA’s Dissolution Can Go Forward | NBC News NOW
NRA going broke???? No way, the money never stops
That was my thought as well.
I can’t help but imagine that Trump had a hand in it. I mean…HE CAN bankrupt 🎰 casinos. That’s not easy to do. 🤨
It does when the people they have in charge embezzle…
It has been reported for sometime it is going under.
Trumper’s looking to grift
NRA needs to go. Another organization that is full of lies.
Unfortunately, they’re going to Texas where there’s no shortage of morons who can’t go to 7-Eleven for a Big Gulp unless they’ve got their AR-15 strapped on their backs and wearing body armor. The NRA will be warmly embraced, and heavily funded there.
I’m a 4th generation Texan, but I left 20 years ago and moved 1500 miles away. Most of my family there hate me now, my own brother hasn’t spoken to me in more than 5 years. We were close, and had no problems until he found out I voted for Bernie in the primaries. Now I’m “dead to him”.
I guess I’m a terrible person because I want equality and justice for all, along with health insurance for all citizens? Oh, and apparently my being a fan of intellectuals like Dr. Cornel West and Chris Hedges means that I’m a communist, AND a dirty hippy!
Um, okay?
@Lazy I Ranch I feel for you because my son supports trump and the nra. All I want is for people should be back ground checked and their mental health checked. The nra won’t have it. If this trouble has taught us one thing is the need to stop open carry just like in Massachusetts. The demonstrators where using their gun for intimidating people and that’s just wrong.
@Lazy I Ranch I’m sorry to read your story but hope you get new more genuine friends and bathe in the all penetrating glow of doing the right thing.
@Lazy I Ranch Well, I mean Cornel West, Chris Hedges, and Bernie Sanders have called themselves and have been labeled “socialists”. Doesn’t necessarily make you a communist though (socialism and communism are similar yet distinct).
I am sorry to hear about your situation though and I hope that we as a society remember may how to respect each other even in the face of disagreement.
I love the people who cant wait to give up their rights , news flash if the second amendment goes the rest wont be far behind
*OH. MY. GOD* what a shocking surprise.
*NO ONE* could have predicted this.
@Mr. James The case has nothing to do with if they “like” them, but more to do with what they are doing with the money a NON-PROFIT organization is producing.
Being a non-profit comes with tax breaks, and exclusions, as well as funding that take a bit of navigation to understand, but also hinge on how much money you are aloud to “show”…. that last part is a loop hole many non-profits exploit, and with the major influence that the NRA has in politics and the mountain of donations annually given to them,
and now wanting to claim bankruptcy and move shop seems rather suspicious.
@RayMerrell68 Very true, if proven to be corrupt.
@Dirt Merchant I can definitely understand how that would arouse suspicion. However, unless the NRA can be proven corrupt or law enforcement has a warrant to investigate, there’s not much that can be done.
Additionally, the comment I originally responded to seem to intent on removing “Republican/Confederate” organizations (although I am not saying my reply endorses such organizations).
@Mr. James I agree with you 100%, and I was not trying to come at you as far as what rights they have, but more on the idea they were doing it because of personal feelings. Also, you are correct about the NRA needing to be found corrupt, and to be honest that is all this video said, they can continue to move forward and subpoena records, and employees, and whatever else to do the oversight for their legal status as a non-profit before they just bail to Texas, claim bankruptcy, and everything (including any money) just disappears.
@Dirt Merchant Thank you for the clarification surrounding the video and posts! Although I don’t believe New York has to right the compel/force the NRA to stay, I do feel that the state does have a right to look over records before the NRA packs up and leaves (as the NRA is such a large and political non-profit).
Paraphrasing is all fake news does.
Nra must of read trump book the Art of the Steal
It was biden that stole the election and all demicrats are lieing idoits i hope there is fight
Trump fans are still crying for Trump instead of crying for their country when it attacked.. But their master Trump is still playing golf and won’t even care about them anymore!!
*must HAVE
@Rick Burke – Wow! Either you’re five years old or the dumbest troll on the internet. Sad.
Proud citizen here who didn’t pay 1 cent to NRA.
Change the name from NRA National Rifle Association to *NAWA – National Assault Weapon Association.*
National Domestic Terrorism Association
The people who support corporate media don’t want truth. They don’t care about atrocities, crime, or the suffering of others. They don’t care about discussion or unity. Their conditioning and ease of access to information(even though it’s objectively corrupt) has overridden all sincere concerns for the world. They’re narcissism is so grand that they will attack those who strive to improve conditions just so they can exalt themselves as knowledgeable and right. They are self-serving and guided by self-love, not actual benevolence or compassion for their fellow man. They will attack and hinder anybody who wishes to shatter the distorted image of themselves. These are the type of people who have enabled and supported the worst atrocities mankind has ever seen. And all the while they shameless love themselves, as others are abused, silenced, and attacked.
Cover up of corruption
*NRA needs to go!* 😡
Guns need to go. Repeal 2A
Bunch of cowards fleeing to Texas because corrupt scum like their Trump loving AG will let them continue propagandizing people for militias and murder. They’re garbage people and They deserve to be broken up and investigated.
NRA is another right wing propaganda machine.
NRA Needs To Go .
*to Texas.
You need to go quick like.
THIS is how it starts cherish the 2nd amendment !!!
@Rick Evans – Yeah, a “gun club” created to fight back the civil rights movement of the 1960s to spread fear, hate & racism. And to this day, that’s all they do.
@Brian Freeman Wow; so well said (and very funny) !
Calm down. You will always be able to protect your family. But you don’t have a Right to any weapons of war.
No, this is law enforcement. Nobody is loosing a gun, no new laws enacted. – From a gun owner
@Brian Freeman Well said. And not just because I read it in an English accent.
YAS
As I gun owner I would like to see the NRA dissolved. They give responsible gun owners a bad name
Yes yes yes
If you’re literally keeping it in that state that’s immediate dismissal because you’re not giving it any other option so your argument is void of any actual argument thus it cannot pass in any state or federal regulations
Karma
Clearly the NRA is in a contract with the trump organisation as they cannot be SO stupid to spend money illegally like trump did.
Given their annual dues and operating costs, when they were able to give $30 million to trump’s campaign, they are hardly a non-profit charity.
Just so people know. The NRA doesn’t manufacture or sale a brand of weapons.
IF u hate guns. Then go after Lockheed Martin or Motorola, ( yes Motorola makes more then pagers) And the many others who actually make the guns.Just google the list of weapon manufacturers. The NRA is nowhere near as powerful as some of the actual gun manufacturers.
I don’t know why every time a incident arrives, and the topic of guns comes up. Everyone brings up the NRA. But not the gun makers! Or the other 1500 gun clubs and magazines/websites.
Can you imagine such an awful organization being allowed in the world’s most stable and long lived true democracy !
@Rigor Mortis I thought it was the political lobbying and donations.
Bro, those aren’t gun manufacturers.
@J C. my blunder I put weapon manufacturers Lockheed Martin and Motorola and not hand gun makers. I didn’t feel like listing every powerful weapon maker or firearm maker..But their still is a long list of GUN makers. And NRA isn’t one of them.
@J C. – ???
They should be sued for profiting from the deaths & misery of others.
@Jake Tyler It’s the moral duty of the government of any civilised society to protect it’s citizens not to assist in putting them in danger.
@You Tube I feel protected when I carry my handgun to defend both myself and others against any psycho with a gun. I have a MSR next to my bed with a 30rd mag in case five intruders break in (which happens). Don’t trust the government to do anything. When someone broke into my house while I was home, I scared him off, but it took the police 10 minutes to arrive. The best way for the government to protect me within the US border is to allow me to protect myself.
@Jake Tyler You only need to protect yourself from people with the same gun mentality as yourself, you don’t need one to protect yourself from someone who doesn’t carry one do you. Do you see what the problem is here, take the guns out of the equation & you no longer have the problem, it’s not rocket science is it. Instead of having to protect yourself from being robbed try to find a solution to why other people have the need to steal from you. The more equal any society is the lower the crime rate is, the biggest obstacles are need & greed in equal measures.
@You Tube The people with the same gun mentality as myself are those who are properly trained and knowledgeable in firearms. We don’t commit crimes; we defend ourselves from those who do. There are 393 millions privately-owned guns in the US (more guns than people). Have fun taking them all away. Make sure you collect all the knives as well because I also protect myself from knife-wielding psychos. I do agree with you that crime is a derivative of equality. People who commit violent crimes typically have nothing to lose. However, just because equality doesn’t exist as much as it should doesn’t mean I should sacrifice my 2nd Amendment rights. It’s not a one-or-the-other.
@Jake Tyler like I said it’s only gun owners who are a danger to you, non gun owners can’t shoot you. You only need to protect yourself from like minded people. Your logic is both irrational & flawed. Guns are not the solution, they are the problem.
They’ve become a source of corruption and needs to be replaced.
You mean like the ENTIRE democrat party.
@Bob A wow. A triggered domestic terrorists. Shocking. Whining and crying everywhere because they believed the alt-right extremist propoganda channels opinion hosts told them.
They never weren’t
@Johnny Bananas : 50 years ago they were a well respected club of gun owners who gave safety lessons and organized shooting matches, now they are primarily a political lobbying organization for the gun industry and should not have “non-profit” status.
@Bob A No I mean the government period. This is a democracy which is built on checks and balances; No one side can just take from the people and not attempt to make life better for the whole country not just take and have no intentions to serve all the people or you will have problems. It’s called America that’s who we are. If you don’t work for it or earn it you will experience unrest if all you do is take. The Republicans are rooted in selfishness and Democrats at least have the wisdom to attempt serving all the people and if that’s a problem then you don’t know what the foundation this country has been built on and this is who we are. Some people don’t like it then change your position in your life.
Bury this corrupt anachronistic pointless org!
Nothing says serving your State Constituency like driving all business from the state. New York will never recover from these clowns. Perhaps the DA will get an Emmy for another stellar political performance. On the positive side I am sure this will diminish the ever exploding genocide of young New Yorkers.
The NRA is literally artillerizing all those hate groups people.
Including NFAC/blm??? None of whom are members but all of whom marched armed in louisville and shot 3 of their own ppl?? You really need to realize nbc news is a comedy show.
Yeah that’s true. They’re horrible. The NRA caused all those school shooters..
@Nick Machiavelli You’re fake news 🙂
@Litterbox lets see… a fake acct with no content, shilling.
@Tun. oh yeah, just like el chapo caused everyone to take drugs. Righteo, same pretzel logic
Bankruptcy but relocating 🤔🤥
Relocating , bankruptcy is just a way to get out of paying NY money for nothing , couple million taxpayers made the same decision this year
The NRA has been manipulating American governments for years. It’s about time they were shot down…heehee. made meself chuckle😁
Unfortunately, they’ve just made themselves more accessible, not more accountable
@Blt Samich 3
Are we really acting like there aren’t thousands of lobbying groups that dictate every election in this country ?
It’s Hilary’s fault for not winning. They’d still be in business. Gun stores lost millions after the election. LOL
Names come and go but the thinking 🤔 still alive
I didn’t know the NRA was non profit
Moving out of state is like accepting a pardon… you admit guilt 😉 NRA are corrupt
Yes. Winning.
And NOW we see how the military are treated in biden’s America. Put them in parking garages. Well done, democraps, well done. Sure, there is a place for biden to lie down to have his diaper changed, but there is no place for the Guard to sleep.
They got there under Trump, same thing.
This Mac repair guy said he saw email coming FROM White House that went to the second in charge at Burisma. Biden is LYING! (of course)
Oh, troll. We’re back to Burisma. Are you also going to investigate Benghazi again?
How about dissolution of Apple, Google and Facebook.
BYEDON!!!!!..hahgagha
@T’Town Tim yup 1200 troops to syria and killed 11k union jobs his first day , joe picked up right where he left off and people like you are too stupid to realize war is bad and so in killing peoples livelihood
“Support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic”. 76% of domestic violence (terrorism) is committed by the rightwing extremist groups. White supremacists are domestic enemies.
I am going to sign up as a new member of NRA today. And, proud of it.
You should google NRA and Russia today before you sign up- Its supported by Putin- SCREW RUSSIA!
Bob A You want to join join an organization that filed for bankruptcy! Not very bright are you?
Join as quickly as possible comrade.
Good for you I guess. Just hope that they don’t go further into bankruptcy!
You know you don’t need to, and still be in support of the second amendment right? It’s not going anywhere.
NRA means dead children.
NRA’s charitable acts are promoting guns so people can use guns for charitable purposes like shooting?
NRA = Charitable Organization.
Wow!
Its a non-profit, not a charity. Do you really believe nbc news is nothing more than bad comedy? Hope ur not that stupid
@Nick Machiavelli want another gun to buy for charity?
Nobody has ever been killed by a gun until someone picked up that gun and made the decision to shoot someone , we dont have a gun problem we have a people problem , but these are also the same people that think the government is accountable for feeding and clothing their kids because they’re irresponsible
Disband the NRA & put them on the terrorist list.
Disgusting assault on our second amendment.
No it’s not. Not one gun is going away, nor any law enacted. They’re just enforcing current law.
OF COURSE THEY ARE FILING !!!! THEY ARE NUTTERS. THEY WOULD MOVE TO TEXAS, SCARY. SUE THEM, THANK YOU FOR OUR OFFICIALS STANDING UP FOR WHAT IS RIGHT
The NRA used Trump’s game plan, bilk their supporters and then run. And their supporters are stupid enough to continue to support them. Stupid is as stupid does.
Russia ❤️ NRA
Still with the Russia BS 🙄
Fun fact: You aren’t first, you’re just here at the right time.
NRA has been swamping its donors for a long time. It’s time .
Worlds Dumbest Criminals Ep #470
M.A.G.A. = MY A$$ GOT ARRESTED
BUAHAHAHA 😆 🤣 😂 😹 😆 🤣
“We’ve done nothing wrong and we’re not guilty, we’re just trying to run away to another state to try to avoid a lawsuit.” Fair enough, all wrongdoings absolved.
Wayne LaPierre is totally corrupt and needs to go to Federal Prison. He is a liar and thief.
NRA Russian sympathizers
Filing BK for NRA is money laundry.
Putin must have pulled the plug on his money gifting
Dissolve it forever!!
National Russia Association
Is he in a hotel room? I don’t like having to watch people do the news from their bedroom. But I guess it’s like a new thing…
Its ugly for one thing! I don’t like them doing their broadcasts from the bedrooms either. It seems unprofessional and awkward. 🥴
The “legal analyst” is either a liar or maroon. All non-profits are REQUIRED to dissolve in order to move by fed tax law. Ask a CPA. All assets must be transferred to another non-profit.
Where the charity ?? Heavy steeped in mismanagement of public funds.
Just like the Clinton foundation
Good to know. NY is against corrupt non-profit organizations. Texas is for corrupt non-profit organizations.
Excellent
This legal analyst is a nitwit. Nra is not a charity, it’s a non-profit. Big difference. Besides, if u want them to fold, don’t u want officers to bleed the entity dry? fake reporting
It’ll be your guns they come for next.
I’m guessing there was a reason Gaga was wearing the Hunger Games symbol on Inauguration day.
Nobody wants our guns
Can’t happen soon enough…they have aided and abetted every murder, insurrection and school shooting. They have armed Domestic Terrorists and need to be disbanded, prohibited and PROSECUTED for their part.
This is b.s.
The Great Reset is coming! Beware as this is not a conspiracy theory. It’s real!
I see you don’t realize it’s past the 20th. Reality is screaming at you to acknowledge it.
IF bLah blah blah blah which it will. Why say something that you refute in the same sentence. Sloppy journalism.
How did it take this long!?
A little more information on this segment YouTube channel Nations in action 🤔good information
Yoe, unless you’ve been in a Coma…….you must have noticed how NRA used its charity i.e. tax free money and position it buys in media to promote and consolidate Trumpism and the Trump regime? In other words the charity was playing politics.
The NRA do NOT care about child safety or community safety. The NRA leaders have been ripping off its members in order to live ‘the high life’.
Accountability? 👀
Transparency? 👁👁 ????
Not much of either!
No matter no news . Any name will do.
When you murder someone on Fifth Avenue in NYC, you cannot move to Florida to escape the homicide charges.
Then in Texas, the Qanon Rifle Association is born…
The best what could happen to America would be the complete deletion of the NRA. Lobbying and mobbing and bribing politicians and make propaganda for companies can’t be charitable.
from my cold dead hands ,that time has come ,kkk-nra same same .
Actually the NRA armed freed slaves so they could protect themselves from the clan , true story look it up it happened all over the south
Oh well, thoughts and payers, i guess…
At one time NRA would teach young adults how to use a rifle for hunting safely, so they could apply for a hunting license. Not now.
NRA needs to be dismantled… and taxed to the gills if they try to regroup.
the the, the the the
the the the
NRA is a charity organisation ??? Day in and day out gun violence is killing people without justification by people,who legally or illegally own them.Is it paying out compensation to the victims’ families ?
twats de difference between a Glock and a Glocknspiel?
The gun does the talking, no crime to chime…
Liberals attack gun owners what’s new
Just like Trump pocketing funds from his Foundation meant for charity !
Good! They used a non-profit organization to launder money from Russia to the Trump campaign.
