However, that was a demand for <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/iapps.courts.state.ny.us\/nyscef\/ViewDocument?docIndex=dijSLCaT7Iym45YgLQCntw==\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">jury trial on only some issues<\/a><\/strong>. Even though it was only on some issues, finding a jury in Manhattan that would sympathetic to a case against the NRA shouldn&#8217;t be too hard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/nraindanger.wordpress.com\/2023\/01\/09\/nra-demands-jury-trial\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">blog NRA In Danger reports<\/a><\/strong> that in response the NRA along with <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/iapps.courts.state.ny.us\/nyscef\/ViewDocument?docIndex=kfN_PLUS_ulJ11GIWG1CCXaPbow==\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Wayne LaPierre<\/a><\/strong> and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/iapps.courts.state.ny.us\/nyscef\/ViewDocument?docIndex=j95TlMmEnnDSL9yr2iGazA==\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">John Frazer<\/a><\/strong> have demanded a jury trial on all issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/iapps.courts.state.ny.us\/nyscef\/ViewDocument?docIndex=j95TlMmEnnDSL9yr2iGazA==\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Demand for Trial by Jury filed by Svetlana Eisenberg<\/a><\/strong> on behalf of the NRA:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Therefore, the National Rifle Association of America (the \u201cNRA\u201d) hereby demands a trial by jury of all issues triable of right by a jury, including, but not limited to, issues of fact related to each element of (i) Plaintiff\u2019s claims; and (ii) the NRA\u2019s defenses. The NRA asserts this demand pursuant to, inter alia, (i) Section 2 of Article I of the Constitution of the State of New York; (ii) Section 18 of Article VI of the Constitution of the State of New York; (iii) Section 112(b)(1) of Not-For-Profit Corporation Law; and (iv) article 41 of Civil Practice Law and Rules (the \u201cCPLR\u201d) (including Sections 4101 and 4102 of the CPLR).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>WTF?! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have to agree 100% with NRA In Danger when they wrote:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>This is\u00a0<strong>insanity<\/strong>, we can find no other word for it, and our attorney friends agree.

The only person who benefits is Bill Brewer as he runs up the billings. Did the NRA Board of Directors even have any input into this?
