Now, they need to relocate the corporation from New York before James fonds something\u00a0 else to sue them for .<\/p>\n
NRA Successfully Resolves Longstanding Legal Battle with New York Attorney General<\/a><\/p>\n December 11, 2024<\/p>\n The National Rifle Association of America (NRA) today announced the successful conclusion of a multi-year legal battle with New York Attorney General Letitia James. In August 2020, James sued to dissolve the Association and seize its assets following a campaign-trail promise to target the Association, its banks, and its donors. After the NRA defeated the NYAG\u2019s \u201ccorporate death penalty\u201d claim, James sought a court-appointed monitor to oversee the gun group. The court rejected that request this summer.<\/p>\n In the end, Justice Joel Cohen\u00a0denied<\/u>\u00a0all invasive relief sought by the government. Instead, the court\u2019s order is tailored to compliance and governance measures in the NRA\u2019s interest\u2014many proposed by the NRA itself, and several of which were already underway at the Association. The NRA pays\u00a0no<\/u>\u00a0fines or penalties under today\u2019s judgment. Instead, the judgment entitles the NRA to\u00a0collect<\/u>\u00a0millions of dollars from former executives found to have breached their duties.<\/p>\n \u201cThe NYAG sought to shut us down, and then appoint outsiders to oversee management of this historic organization,\u201d said NRA President Bob Barr. \u201cFortunately for freedom lovers everywhere, this politically motivated attempt failed.\u00a0This was the ultimate stand at our moment of truth \u2013 defeating an unprecedented attack from the highest levels of New York government.\u00a0The NRA remains strong, safe, and independent \u2013 continuing to protect freedoms.\u201d<\/p>\n Today\u2019s judgment caps a six-year saga during which the NRA withstood not only the NYAG\u2019s lawsuit, but a barrage of other blue-state regulatory actions, sweeping congressional inquiries, and a debanking effort by New York officials that became the subject of a blockbuster Supreme Court decision in May. In that case,\u00a0NRA v. Vullo<\/em>, all nine justices backed the Association\u2019s First Amendment claims, and the ACLU stood shoulder to shoulder with the NRA against New York.<\/p>\n \u201cThe last six years have been difficult for NRA members, staff, and supporters,\u201d said NRA CEO and Executive Vice President Doug Hamlin. \u201cWith Judge Cohen\u2019s ruling, we can now put this challenging chapter in NRA history behind us and focus solely on the business of the members and all law-abiding gun owners. The NRA is committed to transparency, compliance, and good governance going forward. Today\u2019s outcome ensures that NRA members can support the Association, America\u2019s oldest civil rights organization, with confidence.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Now, they need to relocate the corporation from New York before James fonds something\u00a0 else to sue them for .
