Judge Tosses NRA Bankruptcy Filing

A Texas judge on Tuesday tossed the National Rifle Association’s bankruptcy filing, calling into question the beleaguered advocacy group’s attempt to move to the state.

Judge Harlin Hale of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Dallas dismissed the group’s Chapter 11 filing, writing that CEO Wayne LaPierre was using the filing “to gain an unfair litigation advantage” and “to avoid a state regulatory scheme.”

Hale wrote in his opinion that the organization has strayed from its original intended purpose, which was to advocate for a broad reading of the Second Amendment.

“The mission and function of the NRA is focused on gun safety, and the NRA asserts it is ‘the nation’s foremost defender’ of the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution,” he wrote. “In recent years, however, it has become apparent that the NRA was suffering from inadequate governance and internal controls.” (Read more from “Judge Tosses NRA Bankruptcy Filing” HERE)
