Punch back twice as hard.

The NRA had challenged a Chicago law banning gun sales within the city limits that a federal court ruled unconstitutional in January.

Chicago also paid the NRA $600,000 in legal fees following the U.S. Supreme Court’s landmark 2010 ruling that the Second Amendment’s right to keep and bear arms applies to the states.

NRA Board Members Say New President Lied About Disclosing Financial Troubles | HuffPost

Leaked documents reveal the National Rifle Association is drowning in legal fees.

The National Rifle Association continues to implode amidst accusations of financial mismanagement by its highest-ranking officials. Now two board members are speaking out against the gun rights group.

Recent statements by newly elected NRA President Carolyn Meadows “are outright lies,” NRA board member Allen West said in a statement on Tuesday.

“The amount appears to be approximately $24 million over a 13-month period,” said the nine-page letter written in April, which has been viewed by HuffPost. North said the group was burning nearly $100,000 every day, “seven days a week, every day of every month,” in payments to a law firm.

Another letter revealed that NRA CEO and executive vice president Wayne LaPierre has blown through more than a half-million dollars on clothing, travel and other expenses over the years, including a $39,000 shopping spree at a Beverly Hills store.
