A New York State Supreme Court judge has ruled the a lawsuit from the state against the National Rifle Association can proceed. Last week the NRA announced its intent to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy and reincorporate in Texas. In their motion to dismiss, the NRA asked the court to prevent New York Attorney General Letitia James from suing in state court and change the venue to Albany. In his ruling, Judge Joel Cohen ruled, “it would be inappropriate in these circumstances to find that the attorney general cannot pursue her claims in state court just because one of the defendants would prefer to proceed in federal court.”
