The lawsuit against the National Rifle Association (NRA) has all the earmarks of political persecution ahead of the 2020 elections, US observers say, explaining how the New York attorney general is using the entity’s financial mismanagement issue to shut it down.

There she goes again: Attorney General Tish James last week filed another dubious lawsuit, this one seeking to dissolve the National Rifle Association.

In 2016 the powerful National Rifle Association (NRA), a registered charity that promotes gun rights, spent $30 million helping elect Donald Trump, and close to $70 million on ads and voter mobilisation drives.
