The NRA is bankrupt and has no influence? I hadn’t heard about that.

I do notice now that they are charging school shooters parents as well as the kid, maybe that will get people to start thinking about this differently. Maybe.

Looks like the bankruptcy was killed. But yeah, the NRA has been bleeding members and is spending it's money on legal flights. They are in a pretty bad state

it was bound to happen bc the NRA has advocated for a lot of gun control measures which are not very popular with the folks they were supposed to represent.
