THE QUICK FACTS

• New York Attorney General Letitia James filed a lawsuit with New York's Supreme Court seeking to dissolve the National Rifle Association on Aug 6, 2020. The investigation began in early 2019.
• The NRA has operated as a not-for-profit, charitable membership corporation since 1871. The NRA states that it is the "premier firearms education organization" and that it is recognized as "America's foremost defender of Second Amendment rights". It has over 5 million members.
• The lawsuit alleges that senior management within the NRA funneled millions of dollars for personal use and awarded contracts to "the financial gain of close associates and family".
