Overview
- Filed in Washington, D.C., federal court, the complaint accuses the NRA Foundation of breaching agreements, infringing trademarks, and diverting charitable assets.
- The NRA seeks a court order blocking use of its logo, preventing the foundation from presenting itself as affiliated, and halting what it calls unfair competition.
- The lawsuit claims foundation leaders signaled plans to reduce grants to the NRA, pursue litigation against it, and assume control of certain programs.
- The filing notes reform-minded members gained a board majority in 2025 following a 2024 New York civil verdict against Wayne LaPierre, who faces a 10-year bar from NRA leadership roles.
- NRA CEO Doug Hamlin called the action "a disappointing day" as the group focuses on rebuilding, and the NRA Foundation did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
