A Manhattan judge has declined to appoint a compliance monitor for the National Rifle Association (NRA), rejecting the request made by New York Attorney General Tish James. The judge expressed concerns that appointing a monitor could lead to 'a long, awkward and potentially speech-chilling government involvement in a political organization.' However, the judge imposed a 10-year ban on former NRA CEO Wayne LaPierre from working with the organization. This decision follows a corruption verdict against Wayne LaPierre, resulting in his 10-year ban.
