Wayne LaPierre — “You can take my Russian-funded piggy bank when you can pry it from my cold, dead fingers.”

New York Attorney General Letitia James: “I’m coming in with my crowbar.”

Wayne LaPierre has been exposed for the money-laundering criminal fraud that he is — laundering money for Russia and fraudulently using funds marked for charitable purpose for his own personal enrichment and to finance a luxurious lifestyle of decadent opulence as spelled out in detail, with specifics, in the documents filed today by Attorney General James.

Even though the corporation has long been headquartered in Virginia, it was charted by the state of New York, and the state is about to impose the corporate death penalty.

To be determined: any criminal charges directly against LaPierre or any of his henchmen.

While you’re at it, charge him for mass murder.

Fine, have it your way.

Thoughts and prayers!

Power corrupts. And you gotta believe that the NRA gave a lot of power to LaPierre and his buddies.

Support your local gun club, not the NRA.

I still don’t understand why it’s considered a charity. Do they give out free bullets at Christmas?

Wayne will achieve something no other NRA leader has done since 1871. Have it dissolved.

That can be arranged !

Your wish=our command!

Remember when United Way President William Aramony went to prison for 6 years for using the United Way donations as his own personal bank account? What LaPierre has done is much worse.

OK!

I wouldn’t want it any other way.

I’m sure others have noted that Oliver North was forced out of the NRA inner circle for making these exact allegations. I wonder if he’s been deposed?

Yeah, the same person who sold weapons to the ISLAMIC STATE OF IRAN, for the Reagan Administration.

fusilier

James 2:24

As the alien cockroach in Men in Black told Edgar, “Your terms are acceptable.” (I previously posted this identical comment on Drew Sheneman’s same-themed ’toon.)

I wonder if that might be hastened by some disaffected former NRA member exercising his “Second Amendment rights”?

OK! If that’s the way you want it! From your dead cold fingers then!

And the president tells them to move to Texas. Why not, they are doing what he’s doing, and getting away with it!

Sounds like a plan.

This is so true. Every school shooting was done with an NRA approved murder rifle.

At one time, the NRA was proud institution promoting gun safety and education. Then it decided to play politics. Now, it’s just a scandal ridden Russian puppet that’s been exposed. I won’t waste a single thought on them, much less a prayer.

Pretty sure his members will forgive his teeny indiscretions. A robust membership drive.. increase the fees a bit.. and you can both support Wayne and.. sponsor the Republican party.. This is a national security issue and trump or AG Barr must put an immediate stop to the.. witch hunt.

What a creepy little third-rate criminal. Bet the framers of the 2nd amendment, whatever they intended by it, didn’t have a corrupt NRA in mind when they signed off.

LaPierre and others at the top have been living lavish lifestyles from the NRA coffers. The NRA has non-profit, tax-exempt status. Even though they transformed from an organization for gun owners to an organization for gun manufacturers, and donate millions of dollars to politicians to make sure they vote the “right way.” Corruption in action. Dissolve them like Trump’s fake charity was. Since this a NY state lawsuit, any possible criminal convictions are not eligible for a (second term) Trump pardon. Sorry Wayne.

Plenty o’ pork to gorge on, eh, Wayne?

LaPierre is probably on Trump’s list of Medal of Freedom candidates.

In 1969, President Nixon resigned from the NRA when they said the assassinations of John & Robert Kennedy were ordered by liberals that wanted stronger gun controls. In 1988, President Reagan, in response to personal attacks by the NRA on Jim Brady in June said “The NRA is mistaken. If we strictly interpret the second amendment it would mean the only citizens that could bear arms would be those serving in the National Guard”. In 1995 former President Bush resigned his membership after NRA President LaPierre sent him a letter that labeled ATF agents “jack-booted government thugs”.

Waiting to hear that it’s a first offense and “just” white collar crime. Like poor Roger Stone

Okay Wayne, drop dead.

MAGA nuts already have their panties in a bunch framing this as an attack on the second amendment as opposed to a racketeering case.

Coulda been rubles flying out of the piggy bank

Remember when Wayne used to hang out with the red headed Republican Russian spy girl who was arrested, jailed and deported? There are pictures on the net.

Deal!

Has Wayne been jerking off on the private jet again?! That old fart just can’t keep it zipped.

Challenge accepted.

That just makes the whole thing even more attractive! Can it be televised?

“And the pig got up and slowly walked away.”
