The former wife of a top official with the National Rifle Association in
New York says that “years of domestic violence� caused a judge to bar
the NRA field representative from carrying a gun.

The New York Daily News on Wednesday reported that police has
confiscated an arsenal of 39 firearms from the home of Richard D’Alauro
in 2010 because of a confrontation with his then-wife at their Long
Island home.

Suffolk County records showed that authorities filed misdemeanor charges
against Richard D’Alauro for assault and endangering a child after the
incident on Sept. 1, 2010. At the time, police confiscated 39 weapons
from the NRA official’s home, including at least 16 handguns.

Richard D’Alauro later pleaded guilty to a non-misdemeanor harassment
charge after admitting that tried to “harass, annoy or alarm� his wife
with “physical contact.� Due to a protection order, D’Alauro cannot
purchase or own a firearm until Oct. 3, 2013.

Maribeth D’Alauro told the Daily News that calling the confrontation an
assault was “an accurate description,� and she is terrified at the
thought that her former husband will be able to own guns again.

The former wife said that she had been “too afraid to ever call the
police on him� after “years of domestic violence.�

D’Alauro is a “bully� who used the same tactics on her as the NRA uses
to intimidate lawmakers, Maribeth D’Alauro explained.

Richard D’Alauro’s attorney, John Ray, insisted that the protection
order had “no significance whatsoever� because the “NRA does not require
its employees to own guns.�

But Sari Friedman, an attorney for Maribeth D’Alauro, disagreed.

“A man who has an order of protection against him … is a poor spokesman
for the NRA,�

The former wife of a top official with the National Rifle Association in
New York says that ?years of domestic violence? caused a judge to bar
the NRA field representative from carrying a gun.


Right there's a good reason for the NRA to oppose background checks.

The New York Daily News on Wednesday reported that police has
confiscated an arsenal of 39 firearms from the home of Richard D?Alauro
in 2010 because of a confrontation with his then-wife at their Long
Island home.


39 sounds about right for a gun nut. Being a NRA bigwig, he probably
gets free theft insurance for his guns.

He's exactly the sort of man I'd expect to be among leadership at the
