The National Rifle Association is overdue on more than $1.6 million in unpaid bills, according to a new court filing made by its longtime advertising firm.

On Wednesday, Ackerman McQueen, an ad agency that has for years worked with the National Rifle Association and runs the gun group’s media arm NRATV, filed a motion for a preliminary injunction against the NRA. It’s the latest move in a brutal court battle between the ad agency and the powerful pro-gun organization.

It could also spell the death of NRATV, a pro-Trump online TV network known for its culture-war content.

I'm sure NRA members will be happy to send in money that they saved on their tax cuts.

And we no longer need to live in a world with NRA TV in it.

The latest in the feel good story of 2019:

Chief lobbyist Chris Cox resigns - he was accused of being on Oliver North’s side against LaPierre.

And Dana Loesch is gone along with NRA TV.

Were a lot of people watching NRATV? I’m glad their Russian propped up empire is crumbling, but did they get a lot of eyes?

“Now one of the gun group’s major benefactors says he is preparing to lead an insurgency among wealthy contributors to oust Mr. LaPierre as chief executive, along with his senior leadership team. Such a rebellion would represent a troublesome new threat to Mr. LaPierre, as his organization’s finances and vaunted political machine are being strained amid a host of legal battles, most notably the New York attorney general’s investigation into its tax-exempt status.”

The NRA pretty much sat out the midterms and the republicans had huge losses.

The attorney general for the District of Columbia, Karl A. Racine, has opened a new investigative front against the National Rifle Association, issuing subpoenas on Friday to the gun group and a large affiliated charity.

While the N.R.A. is already under investigation in New York, where it was chartered nearly 150 years ago, its charity was created in Washington, giving Mr. Racine’s office local authority over the organization. Among other things, the new inquiry will examine how funds were moved between the N.R.A. and the charity, known as the N.R.A. Foundation, and whether that money was properly used for charitable purposes.

Earlier this year, The New York Times reported that more than $200 million has flowed from the foundation to the N.R.A. since 2010. That issue has also been a subject of scrutiny in the investigation by the New York attorney general, Letitia James. Donations to the foundation are tax-deductible, while donations to the N.R.A. itself are not.

That alone will cause the normal, middle class members to either leave or riot. Or both. LaPierre has a wardrobe that costs more than their house, boat AND pick up truck, combined.

“Four members of the National Rifle Association’s board of directors sent a letter on Tuesday demanding that the gun group hire outside investigators to probe accusations of financial impropriety at the nonprofit, in the latest sign of fracturing at the country’s premier gun lobby.”

The way that the NRA has been spending money - what do they know that we don’t? That they don’t need to use money to influence elections anymore because it’s all rigged, so might as well live large?

“Documents indicate that the National Rifle Association planned to purchase a luxury mansion in the Dallas area last year for the use of chief executive Wayne LaPierre, according to two people familiar with the records.

The discussions about the roughly $6 million purchase, which was not completed, are now under scrutiny by New York investigators. The transaction was slated to be made through a corporate entity that received a wire of tens of thousands of dollars from the NRA in 2018, according to the people.”
