The National Rifle Association filed a countersuit Tuesday against New York Attorney General Letitia James, accusing the top attorney of “weaponizing” her powers to destroy the pro-Second Amendment group and “silence a political enemy.”

In the suit, the NRA alleges James doesn’t have the authority to invoke state laws governing nonprofits and is pursuing a “blatant and malicious retaliation campaign” because she doesn’t like the gun rights group.

“While we review this filing, we will not allow the NRA to use this or any other tactic to evade accountability and my office’s oversight,” James told Reuters on Wednesday.
