Because of Federalism, when the organization closes shop in NY, that's it for suing the organization. If the individuals committed crimes, they will be held accountable.
Also, the whole topic is political. Sorry if that offends you. I'm not sorry if you have a problem with my tone. I have a problem with the tone of almost every comment on HN. Get over it.
New York is trying to sue an entity that decided to close up shop instead of being sued into non-existence. The point of the "unprecedented disclosures" from TFA is so that the state can discover if individuals have broken laws while in NY State; they can be pursued across state lines. But if it was only the organization that is liable under state law, the new Texan organization won't be liable.
That's how I understand this, anyway. IANAL either.
They're facing charges as an organization at the state level for laws that don't exist in Texas. The organization in New York will cease to exist and New York will have no jurisdiction over a Texan organization.
Did you like it when the SCOTUS threw out the claim Texas made against Pennsylvania's election laws because the claim had "no standing"? That will be the same situation if New York tries to sue the Texas organization
Also the NRA _is_ a safety and education organization in addition to a lobbyist organization. As a child I learned gun safety from Eddie the Eagle. I still remember the song
"If you find a gun, stop! Don't touch! Find an adult!"
The NRA's biggest failings in late years have been capitulating to anti-gunners (they supported no fly no buy! which of course was a policy supported by both Clinton and Trump and is designed to disarm minorities) and generally siding with the GOP instead of staying on the side of gun owners' rights, which is why I give money to Gun Owners of America instead.
But I'm a crazy person. I think marksmanship and gun safety should be taught in high schools.
