The National Rifle Association reportedly planned to purchase a $6million mansion in Dallas for its chief executive Wayne LaPierre last year

Though the transaction never went through, the plans are under scrutiny by New York officials investigating allegations of financial misconduct within the NRA

Investigators uncovered the plan after subpoenaing the NRA's financial records

The gun group was looking into a 1.5-acre lakefront estate in Westlake, Texas

It featured a 10,000-sqft French mansion with four bedrooms and nine baths 

To purchase a house for LaPierre with NRA funding, the group would have to justify to the IRS that the CEO needed the property to do his job

LaPierre has come under fire for spending large amounts of NRA money on himself - despite his $1.37million salary - in the past
