NSSF, the trade association for the firearm industry, said in a statement that it is “troubled by the politically-driven decision of New York Attorney General Letitia James to seek to dissolve the National Rifle Association, America’s oldest civil rights organization.”
NSSF said the lawsuit filed on August 7 by Attorney General James “seeks to punish the over five million members of the National Rifle Association based on mere allegations of possible wrongdoing by a few individuals.
“NSSF is deeply concerned about the apparent political agenda to silence the strongest voice in support of the Second Amendment ahead of the election in November.
“This lawsuit, and one filed today by the District of Columbia Attorney General, should concern all Americans who cherish both the First and Second Amendments to our Constitution regardless of their views on what laws and regulations are appropriate to address the criminal misuse of firearms.”
