A New York judge has ruled that Wayne LaPierre, the former head of the National Rifle Association (NRA), is banned from holding a paid position with the organization for a decade. The decision came on the final day of arguments in the civil trial brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James.
Judge Joel Cohen declined to appoint an independent monitor to oversee the NRA's finances, stating that it would be time-consuming, disruptive, and costly without significant benefits. He expressed concerns about potential government intrusion on the organization's affairs.
