. The State of New York is asking for the revocation of the state charter, that is, for a dissolution of the organization.
What's to stop them from organizing in a different State? (Less WLP)

Then it would be a different organization, same as starting from scratch. The charter is the organization's founding document. You set up a corporate charter, that is registered with a state, and vote in a set of bylaws.What's to stop them from organizing in a different State? (Less WLP)
I doubt that any judge is going to dissolve a huge organization like this real quick.Time for intervention by members of the NRA may have passed. The New York AG subpoenaed 90 current and former members of the board, employees and members of the leadership. Those folks have been deposed: The AG has their answers.
Depending of the judge, this could go fast.
The ACLU is right, because that's exactly what this is.The American Civil Liberties Union has recognized that this is a political ploy by the New York Attorney General to silence the National Rifle Association over NRAs advocacy of its points of view, POVs that the NYAG personally hates and wants to silence. ACLU sees that as a threat to all advocacy groups including ACLU and has come out in opposition to what the NYAG and NY Governor Andrew Cuomo has advocated: destruction of the NRA for questioning gun control and advocating gun rights.
As I understand what's being proposed here, it would result in forcing his removal. But from the last couple of posts it looks like it may be too late for that now.That would be fine, but how could it be done? WLP et al. have embedded themselves in such a way that they cannot be removed. Any Board member or executive that tries it will be removed himself (see: Oliver North, Chris Cox, etc.).
Crickets Patrol on-going here, now!If the NYAG is successful in silencing NRA, does anyone believe a Democrat White House and Congress will leave SAF, GOA, and other Second Amendment People alone to advocate for gun rights and against gun control?
I think a lot of people in the gun community don't get a lot of things at the NRA does that don't get a lot of publicity. The NRA runs a lot of gun safety classes and competitions. There's also the...
I was listening to some other guys discuss this and a guy from Ohio (I think) made a good point. In his state the only way to be able to teach a CCW class is to either be a NRA certified instructor or a State Patrol instructor. Take away the NRA and you are left with a dozen instructors or so...
Well, perhaps, I just refocused the discussion thenWe are moving away from the OP's suggestion and into a general NRA discussion. We tend to frown on those because they become contentious and folks resort to personal insults rather quickly. Return to the proposition, if you would please. We don't do liberal vs conservatives, for example.
