Wouldn't you love to see Wayne LaPierre take down the entire NRA.

The New York Attorney General is looking into the relationship between LaPierre and the NRA's long time public relations firm.

You've probably already heard about the P.R. firm paying for $275,000 in SUITS for LaPierre, as well as expensive travel and hotels. But this story said that he was paying the rent on an apartment for an NRA intern on an American Express card given to him by the firm. My first reaction was "Wayne's got a boy toy on the side", but I guess it could be a girl from a well connected Republican beltway family. How about another credit card charge for a "medical procedure" and now you're talking.

there is a there there.

If the NRA had to disband (or I'll take restructure and become the hunting org it originally was), I would be thrilled.

Less lobbying and more safety classes for members.

They can't just move the organization to Virginia without liquidating their assets and paying all debts. Any hope of continuing as a non-profit would be a pipe dream.
