It'd be one thing if they were only opposed by people for more gun control, but they aren't even really good at their core mission. All they do is simp for the GOP, even when doing so runs counter to their stated agenda.

They've even wormed their way into schools. They have "Eddie the Eagle" that teaches elementary school kids gun safety. With NRA logos all over the place, of course. I was disgusted when my daughter brought the information home.

Absolutely kids should be taught gun safety. They just shouldn't get it with a heaping helping of NRA.

If only there were a quick and effective means of killing something.

That’s the real answer. “We’re no longer a foreign asset funnelling Russian money to republicans so we’re broke”

Yep if you look at all stuff across the world, the dirty money is drying up. The game is catching up

The organization may be dead but the propaganda they created lives on in the heart of every gun owner.

A dozen other groups have far less power than one huge lobbying organization.

They've repeatedly attempted to disband and then reform in Texas to avoid New York's lawsuit against them for all the fraud, misuse of donor funds, and other such law breaking. Judges have repeatedly quashed their attempts, as well as multiple other counter suits and appeals trying to get the case dismissed. Lawsuit is still ongoing. Latest update I could find from NY attorney general's office was here:

That doesn't sound like an organized group with lobbying and government presence. I'm fine with that.

They also got busted for money laundering and being a front for foreign oligarchs to fund US politicians... I'm guessing all those rubles drying up hits the bittom line, too.

Ask the writer, since the blurb was auto-pulled from it.

Because they are the gun right. You know, like alt-right, Christian right, gun right.
