The National Rifle Association filed for bankruptcy in an attempt to reincorporate in the more gun-friendly state of Texas in an effort to avoid the Attorney General of New York's oversight and investigation but on Tuesday a federal judge handed the gun lobbying group a major defeat.

U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Harlin Hale ruled the NRA may not move to Texas and will remain incorporated in the state of New York, Reuters reports, and will remain subject to NY Attorney General Letitia James' review. James is suing the NRA and seeking a court dismantle the gun group over its alleged corruption.

But Judge Hale also focused his ire at NRA head Wayne LaPierre.

“What concerns the Court most though is the surreptitious manner in which Mr. LaPierre obtained and exercised authority to file bankruptcy for the NRA," Hale wrote. as Law & Crime reports. “Excluding so many people from the process of deciding to file for bankruptcy, including the vast majority of the board of directors, the chief financial officer, and the general counsel, is nothing less than shocking."

Judge Hale also noted “several aspects of this case that still trouble the Court, including the manner and secrecy in which authority to file the case was obtained in the first place, the related lack of express disclosure of the intended Chapter 11 case to the board of directors and most of the elected officers, the ability of the debtor to pay its debts, and the primary legal problem of the debtor being a state regulatory action."

“The Court agrees with the NYAG that the NRA is using this bankruptcy case to address a regulatory enforcement problem, not a financial one."


Hey Wayne, I hear Rudy Giuliani is looking for a new client to help with some legal bills.

Congratulations? You’re one step closer to abolishing that Second Amendment you all hate so much.

This is a civil case regarding a corrupt organization. LaPierre made the same mistake thinking he could get away with turning into a 2nd amendment issue, having it play out in the court of public opinion.

He failed.

Now he better hope like hell AG James, doesn't find anything incriminating in those financial records.

How many people do you hate? Gun owners, Trump supporters, Christians, white people. Am I missing any? Hating America is time consuming.

And? It’s not a government organization. They should held accountable to the group’s members.

The nra is at least partially responsible for millions of deaths over the decades. LaPierre himself is responsible for bilking the members out of millions of dollars.

I say hang the whole mess out to dry.
 
Doubt this stands...but I sure would reconsider being incorporated in New York...or any left leaning state...after this ruling.

Get out while you can.

All those gun makers in New York and Connecticut...we warned you.

Time to make the move to a Second Amendment protective state...like Missouri.

Actually we hate con-men....but feel free to hand them all your money with both hands.
 
They do got problems. Board members resigning, Texas federal judge shots them down, and Oliver North leaves because he was being stonewalled by Wayne.

Pierre is a criminal, not a gun rights activist.

True, but these lefties seem to think it’s going to get rid of the NRA, which they in turn thinks will allow them more gun control and even their dream of abolishing the Second Amendment.
