That is the main similarity in this instance and it is a valid one to bring it up.

I will say, after reading some of the filing, I found the statutory language that gives the NY AG this authority.

Here is the filing for anyone interested: https://ag.ny.gov/sites/default/files/summons_and_complaint_1.pdf

Here is Article 7 of the NY Not-for-Profit Corporation Law (N-PCL), section 1101: https://codes.findlaw.com/ny/notforprofit-corporation-law/npc-sect-1101.html


So what it looks like is that NY law allows the AG to dissolve a corporation if it is engaged in fraudulent activity. I guess what I find problematic about this is that a corporation is a separate entity from its management. So I have to say that the NYAG's actions are appropriate under NY law, I don't know how much I actually like that law. I think that power is a little too broad.

Good research.

If I were a member of the NRA I'd be beyond pissed and looking for any other group to take my support/money and represent my desire to protect the second amendment.  Of course the NRA silenced all of those from the big stage because they were run by a group who didn't care about their members or the 2A...just about collecting money.

If they can be dissolved something else will fill that void.  Just might take time.
