NRA update by the New York Times

A few weeks ago, I wrote a post entitled "The NRA Saga Continues... wayne LaPierre Takes the Stand,"  in which I discussed the continuing downfall of the organization that once embodied nonprofit political power.    I just wanted to flag that the today's New York Times email news letter, The Morning, (Sub required) has a write up of the current status of the NRA.  Here's a quote and a link:

Today, the N.R.A. has shed hundreds of thousands of members and large sums of money. It is standing trial for fraud and self-dealing in New York. “The N.R.A. is little more than a shell of itself after hemorrhaging hundreds of millions in legal fees,” Joshua Powell, a former top N.R.A. official who settled with the state before the trial, told The Times. The organization’s fall is not a death knell for Second Amendment advocates, but it is a blow.

Today’s newsletter will explain what went wrong with the group.

 

With the updates! eww
