NRA files for bankruptcy, plans Texas move
The National Rifle Association announced Friday that it is filing for bankruptcy, leaving New York and moving to Texas to reincorporate there as a nonprofit. New York Attorney General Letitia James has said she sees the move as an attempt to evade accountability after her office sought to dissolve the charitable group for alleged misspending. James has planned to oppose any effort to avoid her office’s oversight. The NRA said it is moving to be “free from the toxic political environment of New York.” (The New York Times, CNN, press releases here and here)
