NRA claims it's in deep financial trouble

[Commodus]

So it says in a lawsuit against New York state.

First: keep in mind that organizations will often exaggerate the threat to their financial well-being to try to earn the court's sympathy. With that said, the lack of insurance and other financial access does leave it in a rough spot. The claims of a conspiracy are dubious -- it's basically pointing to tweets and non-binding advisements as 'proof.'

Something tells me the NRA won't elicit much sympathy. It's a gun industry-backed organization that exploits mass murders for financial gain, bribes politicians into inaction and has not-so-subtly threatened journalists. Don't worry, though, I'm sure thoughts and prayers will be enough to save it.

Repost. Please send thoughts and prayers to the NRA...

It's tough to make a living laundering money for the Russians.

Putin late with their paycheck?

Embedded Russian spy in their organization is arrested just as deep links to the Kremlin are exposed. Putin cuts off their funding and so they sue America.

“Several prominent Russians, some in President Vladimir Putin’s inner circle or high in the Russian Orthodox Church, now have been identified as having contact with National Rifle Association officials during the 2016 U.S. election campaign, according to photographs and an NRA source,” Peter Stone and Greg Gordon of McClatchy write. “The contacts have emerged amid a deepening Justice Department investigation into whether Russian banker and lifetime NRA member Alexander Torshin illegally channeled money through the gun rights group to add financial firepower to Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential bid.”

If you pay the NRA after knowing all of this, you are providing material support to an enemy of the United States. We should trade these folks to Russia in a spy swap.
