That's the only part that's *bad*. The IRS is such bullshit... the math adds up doesn't it? 2.2 * 5 = 11 million, what they're going to hissy fit over 200k over 5 years?

Thoughts and prayers.


In August 2020, New York Attorney General Letitia James (D) filed an audacious lawsuit (https://ag.ny.gov/sites/default/files/summons_and_complaint_1.pdf) against the nation’s largest and most powerful gun rights group.


The suit alleges that several top leaders of the National Rifle Association (NRA) — including its CEO, Wayne LaPierre — engaged in a ridiculous amount of self-dealing with the organization. Among other things, the lawsuit accuses LaPierre of spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on private charter planes for himself and his extended family, accepting lavish gifts from NRA vendors, and spending $1.2 million in NRA funds on “personal expenses,” the list of which includes his golf club membership.


Although the NRA initially denied the allegations, it filed a tax document with the IRS in November admitting it “became aware during 2019 of a significant diversion of its assets (https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/nra-irs-disclosure-990/2020/11/25/50521108-2d34-11eb-9c71-ccf2c0b8d571_story.html).” The tax return also says LaPierre reimbursed the NRA for $300,000 in travel expenses.


James’s lawsuit asks the court to impose several steep penalties on the NRA, including dissolving its corporate charter — a sanction NRA’s attorneys have characterized as akin to the “death penalty (https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/20705869/nra-bankruptcy-ruling.pdf)” for a corporation.


Needless to say, the NRA wants to avoid this outcome and has engaged in some fairly audacious legal maneuverings of its own to strip the state of New York of much of its power over the organization. Although the NRA is, by its own accounts, in strong financial shape and fully capable of paying off its creditors (https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/20705869/nra-bankruptcy-ruling.pdf), the organization declared bankruptcy last January.

Texas-based Judge Harlin Hale formally rejected (https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/20705869/nra-bankruptcy-ruling.pdf) the NRA’s attempt to use the bankruptcy courts in this way, ruling that “the NRA did not file the bankruptcy petition in good faith because this filing was not for a purpose intended or sanctioned by the Bankruptcy Code.”The primary purpose of the NRA’s declaration, many outsiders surmised, is to cut many of its formal ties with New York and reincorporate it in the state of Texas, thus stripping James of much of her authority over the organization. On Tuesday, a federal bankruptcy judge agreed.

"good guy with a gun"


After the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School, in 2012, Wayne LaPierre, the head of the National Rifle Association, told (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2012/dec/21/nra-full-statement-lapierre-newtown) Americans agitating for new gun regulations, “The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun.” Less than a year later, LaPierre and his wife, Susan, travelled to Botswana’s Okavango Delta, where they hoped to show N.R.A. members that they had the grit to take on a different adversary: African bush elephants, the largest land mammals on Earth. The trip was filmed by a crew from “Under Wild Skies,” an N.R.A.-sponsored television series that was meant to boost the organization’s profile among hunters—a key element of its donor base. But the program never aired, according to sources and records, because of concerns that it could turn into a public-relations fiasco.

The Trace and The New Yorker obtained a copy of the footage, which has been hidden from public view for eight years. It shows that when guides tracked down an elephant for LaPierre, the N.R.A. chief proved to be a poor marksman. After LaPierre’s first shot wounded the elephant, guides brought him a short distance from the animal, which was lying on its side, immobilized. Firing from point-blank range, LaPierre shot the animal three times in the wrong place. Finally, a guide had the host of “Under Wild Skies” fire the shot that killed the elephant. Later that day, Susan LaPierre showed herself to be a better shot than her husband. After guides tracked down an elephant for her, Susan killed it, cut off its tail, and held it in the air. “Victory!” she shouted, laughing. “That’s my elephant tail. Way cool.”

For three decades, LaPierre has led the N.R.A.’s fund-raising efforts by railing against out-of-touch “élites” and selling himself as an authentic champion of American self-reliance and the unfettered right to protect oneself with a gun. But the footage, as well as newly uncovered legal records, suggest that behind his carefully constructed Everyman image, LaPierre is a coddled executive who is clumsy with a firearm, and fearful of the violent political climate he has helped to create. The N.R.A. did not respond to requests for comment.https://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/the-secret-footage-of-nra-chief-wayne-lapierres-botched-elephant-hunt

What a MISLEADING title - did you even read the article? We are only 14 days into the 4th quarter of 2021 - how in the world can they predict that it's gonna be unlikely to match 2020's 4th quarter much less make up the 1,840,999 MORE guns sold in the first 3 quarters of 2021?

For the first three quarters of 2021, gun sales reached 30,467,508. That compared to 28,626,509 for the same period last year. However, fourth quarter 2020 gun sales were strong and, based on current trends, are unlikely to be matched this October, November and December.

more rmt guns, always means more rmt gun violence

Nope - it's the person behind the gun/weapon - see knives, bows and arrows, etc.

[ChumpDumper]

It's mostly existing gun owners buying moar guns to kill their imaginary enemies.

America is by miles, Super League Champion for gun violence and homicides, with police killing 1000s in impunity.

America is so fucked and so unfuckable.
