The National Rifle Association of America is “not afraid” of a lawsuit threatening it with dissolution in New York and is prepared to proceed with the legal battle despite its bankruptcy filing, a lawyer for the group said in court.
The gun-rights group is “not in any way attempting to escape regulatory supervision,” Patrick Neligan, the NRA’s bankruptcy attorney, said in its first Chapter 11 hearing Wednesday. “It’s simply false” that the NRA is running away from the litigation in New York, he said.
