The NRA's Misfire
1A - Een podcast door NPR
The National Rifle Association is in trouble. The organization filed for bankruptcy in January 2021 in an attempt to head off ongoing litigation threatening the group. The most serious is a case brought in August 2020 by the attorney general of New York, Letitia James, which is "seeking to dissolve the organization entirely." The lawsuit accuses NRA leaders of corruption and diverting millions of dollars for their own pleasure.NPR correspondent Tim Mak has been tracking the NRA in his reporting for years. In his new book, Misfire: Inside The Downfall of the NRA, Mak investigates the group and its longtime CEO, Wayne LaPierre.Want to support 1A?
