The NRA Says It’s in Deep Financial Trouble, May Be ‘Unable to Exist’

A new legal filing by the powerful gun group against the state of New York paints a grim picture

The National Rifle Association warns that it is in grave financial jeopardy, according to a recent court filing obtained by Rolling Stone, and that it could soon “be unable to exist… or pursue its advocacy mission.” (Read the NRA’s legal complaint at the bottom of this story.)

The reason, according to the NRA filing, is not its deep entanglement with alleged Russian agents like Maria Butina. Instead, the gun group has been suing New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and the state’s financial regulators since May, claiming the NRA has been subject to a state-led “blacklisting campaign” that has inflicted “tens of millions of dollars in damages.”

    I will believe the NRA is in financial trouble when the NRA tells me so. I don't believe anything "Rolling Stone" says. There is nothing on the NRA website or in the "American Rifleman" that corroborates this story.
