All about guns, legislation and politics in New York
“… According to the NRA’s most recent filings, it has spent less than $1 million in the 2020 election cycle – a fraction of the over $8 million spent at this point in the 2016 campaign …”
That’s the goal of Tish James’ lawsuit.
The problem is the NRA Board her lots of ammunition to use against them.
A-8078C, Permits 4-H certified shooting sports instructors to supervise and instruct persons under sixteen years of age at shooting ranges, and A-8666A, Relates to authorizing hunting big game by rifle in the County of Tompkins, have been sent to the Governor.

I believe this has some merit because many NRA members and supporters won’t dig down past the headline, “Attorney General James Files Lawsuit to Dissolve NRA.” However, the problem for the NRA is James’ investigation was brought about due to financial mismanagement on the part of the Board and I have not seen anyone dispute that.
From a purely political standpoint, it is in James’ interest to hurt the Biden campaign for if he loses it could open the door to Gov. Cuomo running in ’24. I believe James will run for Governor once Cuomo eventually leaves office.
