A New York judge on July 29, 2024, banned Wayne LaPierre, the former head of the National Rifle Association, from holding any paid position with the organization for a decade. The ruling came five months after a New York City jury found, during an earlier stage in these legal proceedings, that LaPierre had violated state law by misusing NRA funds. That jury also decided that LaPierre and another NRA official should repay the gun group millions of dollars.
The judge, however, rejected a request from New York state authorities to appoint an independent monitor to oversee the NRA’s use of its own assets.
