Unforced error?
Alec Perkins from Hoboken, USA via Wikimedia CommonsNew York Attorney General Letitia James is gunning to break-up the National Rifle Association.
James claims NRA executives broke state and federal laws, allegedly siphoning off millions to fund their lavish lifestyles.
Since the NRA is a non-profit, it is only allowed to use its funds to further its mission and member interests.
Never willing to cede ground, the NRA is fighting back against the charges. Even some observers on the left suspect James’ election-year lawsuit is a strategic blunder. Here are the reasons why:
It Overlooks Polling Trends
Arachnus64 via Wikimedia CommonsPolls in battleground states already indicate the presidential race is tightening in Trump’s favor. Before James’ anti-Second Amendment announcement, Biden’s advantage in the RealClearPolitics polling average had been slashed. Now, Pennsylvania Democrats are comparing James’ decision to the equivalent of the “Alabama AG suing to dissolve Planned Parenthood.”
Some Pennsylvania Democratic elected officials are panicked about the NRA lawsuit’s effect on the presidential race. One told me it was an “October surprise”: “This is the equivalent of Alabama AG suing to dissolve Planned Parenthood for the left.”

Ignores the Silent Majority
Ollie Atkins, White House photographer via Wikimedia CommonsGun sales have broken new records during the pandemic and ongoing riots. Americans have purchased three million more guns than usual since March. Half of them reportedly went to first-time owners.
Fox News’ Pete Hegseth recently explained the broader implications of these numbers for 2020:
This “is a front-and-center, kitchen table issue for a lot of people and the Second Amendment, Joe Biden wants to take it away, Donald Trump wants to preserve it,” he argued. “That’s one that he believes and a lot of people believe is a winner for him.”
Reminds Conservatives to Vote
Gage Skidmore from Peoria, AZ, United States of America via Wikimedia CommonsThe lawsuit is yet another salient reminder for center-right Americans to vote by offering a glimpse into the nightmarish vision of the future Democrats have planned if Trump loses.
Are guns not your issue? Perhaps President Trump’s personality occasionally rubs you the wrong way. Remember this; Democrats will never stop. Once they dissolve the NRA, they’ll come after pro-life groups, conservative media, and even religious organizations.
This cold reality is why we fight. It is why we vote.
And Remember That Biden Is No Moderate
Gage Skidmore from Surprise, AZ, United States of America via Wikimedia CommonsJoe Biden may have been moderate at one point, but no longer. His campaign didn’t file the lawsuit against the NRA, but it reminds tens of millions of voters of Biden’s Beto O’Rourke-esque “evolution” on gun rights.
Biden even handpicked O’Rourke to his spearhead his campaign’s firearm policy prescriptions. Yes, the very man who once shouted, “Hell yes, we’re going to take your AR-15.”

Apply same to PP, NOI, etc etc as well, Make=, make fair & shake up Dems more
Why not PP is killing babies every minute Today & tomm etc.
Yeah, we never hear the NRA ranting about wanting to kill babies, or anyone else, for that matter. But, the Demoncrats call them evil, anyway.
The dumb-crats always get it wrong…everytime they make a move, the NRA get’s to sell more guns! This is the enemy you want…
More from the leftist semocraos, what wont they try. This has all been going on for almost the last 4 years and wont stop even after the president is REELECTED
Given the tendency of the left to cannibalize their own in recent years I doubt she cares.
I guess she doesn’t know that the second amendment has broad bipartisan support. She’s shooting herself in the foot even though she’s disarmed.
Now it appears that some seem to think it is perfectly OK if persons or organizations, who they support , is alright if they violate the laws of this USA. Now if it was an organization or persons who donated heavily to the Democrats those same people would want them hung. That is what is wrong in this USA politicizing law enforcement or judges, who are suppose to be impartial and non political. This case shows that the people charged in this case are plainly guilty just like Trump’s Charity, now NRA can argue but facts are difficult things to prove wrong and are very seldom ruled over in a court of law and the persons who have violated the law if proven in a court case should have to pay back every cent misspent for their pleasure, and the pleasure of their families.
U and yours DERANGED AND DEPLORABLE LOWLIFE S OF THE DEMOCRATIC SOCIALIST/COMMUNIST PARTY have EVERYTHING WRONG ! IT’S U POLLOCK that has everything WRONG for DECADES AND DECADES . SERIOUSLY you’s need to take a good look into a MIRROR and I may see the GUILTY ☝ ONE’S ! Not the NRA , NATIONAL RICE ASSOCIATION. The GREATEST ORGANIZATION ON EARTH ..
Stop holding back , let them know how you really feel . And yes I agree , Democrats are disgusting lowlife. Lower than Whale Turds at the bottom of the Marianas Trench !
…so low they can walk UNDER the turds while wearing a silk top hat and never get any of the turd on the hat!!! (Thanks to Todd Schnitt of the Schnitt Show for that one…)
How is it that such clowns come to be elected to offices of import?
MRS ! s going no where soon .SERIOUSLY this WORTHLESS RADICAL RACIST and BIGOT that doesn’t like WHITE PEOPLE. Seriously she and PELOSI aka POLLACK and WATER’S aka MAD MAXI PAD are of most DERANGED WORTHLESS RADICAL RACISTS and BIGOT
I suspect this attack on the NRA is just a ploy to attack the 2nd Amendment . The amendment that was created to give us protection from politicians and officials that attempt to exert their will on the voter via what ever whim they decide . Our founders were pretty smart forward thinking fellows and foresaw that there might one day be leaders who were not content with just being elected and leading fairly and justly but would choose to impose tyrany
That hit-man lookin’ sh*tstain of a governor has stated that it was his intent to bankrupt the NRA with legal action knowing the state had unlimited funds vs the NRA depending on donations…
I think the NRA should pack up and move out of New York! Take their business where it is appreciated! Pay no taxes to New York! Just like Amazon!
Move to Wyoming, Arizona, Montana or Idaho
Why do you bother with the articles if you cover them up with ads? I am getting tired of it and it is becoming not worth it.
