Manhattan Judge Declines Monitor for NRA, Imposes 10-Year Ban on Former CEO Wayne LaPierre

A Manhattan judge has decided against appointing an independent monitor to oversee the National Rifle Association (NRA) but has imposed a 10-year ban on former CEO Wayne LaPierre from working with the organization. The decision came after New York Attorney General Letitia James' request for a compliance monitor was rejected on Monday, with the judge citing concerns over potential government intrusion into the NRA's affairs. LaPierre, who was found liable for financial mismanagement, described the appointment of a financial monitor as 'putting a knife' into the gun rights group. The NRA's counsel, William A. Brewer III, stated that the court's decision validates the NRA's reform efforts and commitment to good governance.
