"The National Rifle Association is in a bit of trouble. The New York state attorney general sued to dissolve the organization that's at the center of the gun lobby. The NRA is a nonprofit accused of diverting money from its charitable mission. Our colleague, Tim Mak, has been investigating where some of the money went.
TIM MAK: We're talking about things like millions of dollars in private jets, lavish meals, fancy vacations to Europe and the Bahamas. There's six figures in luxurious suits for Wayne LaPierre personally from Rodeo Drive...
...It's got a revolt by some of its own members. It's got serious financial troubles. In 2018, 2019, it could barely even pay its own employees. It's got multiple congressional investigations that have looked into its financial misconduct. And the New York attorney general is currently engaged in litigation with the NRA, trying to dissolve the entire organization because of what they've identified as tens of millions of dollars in corrupt spending over just a few years...
...A lot of people feel kind of betrayed by Wayne LaPierre because as the organization began to collapse, he turned his back on a lot of his close friends, tried to blame them for his decisions and his actions and his - what he calls kind of management by chaos."

What has become of it?
I hope any misuse of funds is investigated and those who have misused funds are convicted.
That said, the millions of decent citizens are being accused of these same crimes? They must
be if this AG wants to "dissolve" the whole organization. Be careful what you wish for, it's this
organization that trains law enforcement, holds competitions and supports them.
Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.
