So have a look at these articles that just popped up on the Drudgereport today
First there is the New York AG launching an investigation into the NRA's non profit status.

Then there is more of the infighting that we spoke of in this forum

Here is an interesting bit from the AP News article:
"Near the end of the two-hour meeting, some members challenged efforts to adjourn and pushed to question the board about controversies involving its financial management, the relationship with its longtime public relations firm and details of what North sought to raise about alleged misspending, sexual harassment and other mismanagement."
Sexual Harassment. It was only a matter of time that this tactic would be used to smear folks in the 2nd Amendment rights arena.
What I don't know is who is the bad guy, North or Lapierre.
What I do know is that the New York AG investigation is going to cost the NRA time and resources, resources that could be better served lobbying to defeat legislation like these ridiculous "Red Flag Laws". And be sure that our enemies in the media are going to use this to make the NRA and gun owners look weak, divided, and vulnerable in order to embolden the anti firearm crowd to push more anti constitutional legislation. This appears to be the initial movements of a shaping operation of sorts. What conditions and what follow on action is unknown to me. But it is coming.
