I must comment on the AP article “New York attorney general seeks to dissolve the NRA” in the Aug. 7-8 issue.
It’s a given that liberal activists will go to any extreme to advance their anti-gun agenda.
It appears it’s not a coincidence in this election year that the Associated Press also exhibits their bias.
What the article doesn’t mention is AG Letitia James on the campaign trail when she ran for office made it clear that she hated the NRA and everything they stood for.
She vowed that, if elected, she’d use the full power of the attorney general’s office to silence the organization, even claiming that NRA isn’t a charitable organization but a terrorist one instead.
She went after gun companies for allegedly violating the state’s phony laws against ghost guns, a derogatory term coined for homemade guns that are legal to manufacture as stated in the Gun Control Act of 1968.
Considering the upcoming election, the timing of the lawsuit certainly raises suspicion of being more than an investigation for the sake of justice for New Yorkers.
Even if the accusations are true, she is using public funds for this vendetta that could be better used to protect citizens and businesses from the law-breaking rioters, looters and arsonists plaguing its cities.
Instead, ignoring the real terrorists, James chooses to direct leftist fanaticism towards the oldest civil rights organization in the U.S. that had to turn to lobbying to protect citizen’s unalienable rights as defined in the Constitution.
