On the other hand, Gov. Cuomo tweeted that thousands of Americans died of gun violence and the President is not doing anything to address the problem. He added that New York is “not afraid to stand up to NRA.”
President Trump: 74,600 Americans have died from gun violence since you were elected.
You have done nothing but tweet about it.
Unlike you, NY is not afraid to stand up to the NRA. As for the NRA, we’ll remember them in our thoughts and prayers. https://t.co/zW5dUnH4IB

Last year, the State of New York ordered the gun rights advocacy group to stop selling its “Carry Guard” insurance policy and to pay a penalty of $7 million for violating its laws.
NRA will “fully cooperate” with any investigation
Meanwhile, William A Brewer III, a lawyer representing NRA also released a statement regarding the probe. He said the gun rights advocacy group will “fully cooperate with any inquiry into its finances.”
“The NRA is prepared for this, and has full confidence in its accounting practices and commitment to good governance.”
