Many grocery stores have had to put restrictions on how much beef and pork each customer buys as meat processing plants work to deep clean their facilities and put other safety measures in place.
The coronavirus has exacerbated financial woes that were already serving as a drag on the NRA as it wages legal fights with regulators and its once-loyal marketing firm and faces anger from rank-and-file members over stewardship of the gun group. It's also facing rising public frustration over gun laws in the wake of mass shootings.
The immediate hope is that such legal challenges will persuade authorities to back down. But the NRA is also hoping the legal fights over “essential” activity will strengthen their hand in the courts and make it harder to restrict gun rights in the future. “Defending freedom has never been easy. Over the years, we’ve weathered more tough times than most," LaPierre said in an email to NRA employees, obtained by The Associated Press. “But we will rise from this stronger and well positioned to lead the fight to protect our Second Amendment, the First Amendment, and all our constitutional freedoms during the crucial upcoming elections and for years to come.
The NRA also faces regulatory pressures in New York, where the group's charter was created in New York. The state attorney general there has launched legal actions along with her counterpart in Washington, D.C., that threaten the NRA's nonprofit status. In a recent email to its followers, the group disputed putting blame on the pandemic: “Mr. LaPierre, if your organization was squeaky clean and ethically ran, we wouldn’t be in this mess in the first place.”
These people should all be on vents
Good here’s hoping they go bankrupt.
Thus Trump saying that yes people will die but we have to open the country back up. Guess the NRA has threatened to short change their payoff......ERRR I mean campaign 'CONTRIBUTIONS'.
It’s a non profit, lots of them are cutting jobs.
Perhaps now they can reorganize and get back to their roots. Doubt it tho, too much money, power and ego involved.
Every business has. You really are EnemyOfThePeople
Who cares - they have done absolutely nothing to save innocent lives from mass shooting and gun violence
Disarming can be quite useful as a first instinct.
Thoughts and prayers to the 'fine people' who worked there...🖕
And embezzling TF out of your membership fees, buttercups. NRA members are low IQ traitors. Any good American abandoned the NRA decades ago. In 1976, the NRA turned into the gun lobby. Look it up. fthenra guncontrol gunsense UBC closetheloopholes
Thoughts. And. Prayers.
Thoughts and prayers
So has most everyone else.
The organization hasn’t come clean with its members and supporters so it may not survive. Sweeping corruption under a rug will not work in the long or the short run.
Cowboy hats😂. Peddling your liberal narrative again I see. Most people that support the 2nd amendment do not wear cowboy hats but you go interns. And those that do, great, you be you.
Maybe they should stop buying shit from China too🇺🇸🤠
Guess they shouldn’t have spent so much money lobbying! Sorry for the folks that lost their jobs. Better to get off the sinking ship now.
They are terrorists.
Ts & Ps
So 'out of my cold, dead hands' was about money

The NRA is a terrorist organization.
You mean like the rest of the world

Good
Oh no. You can’t shoot your way out.
GREAT!!!
Best news I have heard today
CatskillJulie Good news! Wish they would disappear all together.
They should cut their own throats.
Might be cutting staff and salaries but I would bet the money is still flowing into Washington and the Republicans party
And? Almost every business in the US has has to downsize due to the pandemic. Report on Biden and his alleged finger painting. That’s current and topical news.
Millions of company`s have
I have been a NRA member for years but with the corrupt actions of Wayne LaPierre I dropped out. If the NRA gets its act together I will join again
This is YUGE....like Bigly YUGE. The NRA is on the verge of shutting down for good. This is a surprising bombshell that the virus is shutting this business down forever. The NRA couldn’t shoot it’s way out of this predicament.
Good.
But it was a hoax!!!
First “death” in the pandemic that I would cheer on.
They gotten guns in the hands of every maniac in the US. Mission Accomplished
👍🙌👍🙌👍🙌👍
Go to the stock market it’s doing fantastic!
Now is the time for congress to push gun legislation thru.
nra
Heard Gates, Bloomberg, Buffet are going to buy stock in all major gun manufacturing, own the majority shares and shut down the making of guns, repurpose the manufacturing into something non-lethal.🤭
Uh
Thoughts and prayers.. actually no. Good riddance.
Awww these killers need salaries
Fake news.
NEARLY EVERYONE OS DOING THIS...
oohhh, draaama
HOPE THEY GO BANKRUPT, TRUMP'S ADMINISTRATION WILL PROBABLY HELP THEM FINANCIALLY OR MAYBE BY STARTING TRUMP'S CIVIL WAR!!!? 🤔🤔🤔🤔
'It's an ill wind that doesn't blow some good....'
Thoughts n prayers
how will they slaughter children tho NRA
One good thing I’ve heard today.
Darn
I bet they are applying for stimulus money. Does being up the ass end of those in leadership still qualify them?
?!!... They have more money and contributions from so many to pay for lobbyists and other things.. who’s dipping their hands in the pockets?!!
So there is a problem an AR15 can’t fix! Do tell.
Womp womp
Just take your guns out and shoot it. The only thing that stops a bad virus is a a good guy with a gun
Good
Back round checks and assault weapons illegal!!’
They can all rot in hell ...
Dying “business”
Boohoo
👍😷😁♥️🙏✝️🙏♥️😁😷👍 FAITH... HOPE... AND LOVE...
Too bad.
Buhbye
I hope they go bankrupt and they ALL lose their jobs. Then all the Republikan(t)s in the Senate will lose elections because their contributions ran out. FU*K the NRA. They have 🩸 all over their hands.
There definitely not concerned about disgruntled employees coming back and shooting up the place.
NRA is corrupt and bad for America.
They should be out of business. They are not needed .
I hope they go out of business.
Thoughts and prayers?
Fuck them.
I don't care, do you?
Good!!
This is known as click bait for ABC's leftist base.
Boo hoo!!!!!!! 😉
And yet gun sales are soaring in Florida! Gun shops were deemed an 'essential' business. Really, they were.
Are they going to stop paying Trump!!!
Get
Couldn't have happened to a nicer bunch
Not sorry.😜
fabulous news.
FUCK the NRA
Good
Great idea NRA - don’t stop now!
Thoughts and prayers
A whole lot of businesses and organizations have, and funding for all sorts of causes has dried up. There’s no reason why they would be any different, so the article isn’t really necessary.
Ban all automatic weapons! No use for them whatsoever!
Happiness is a cold gun
If only they’d go away.
Who hasn't.......
They need to cut themselves into oblivion!
Butina got out just in time.
Thoughts and prayers!
Put these fools out of business for the sake of this country
Go away
Oh, no!
Uhhh.Ohhh..How will NRA respond with THAT news
Just like a lot of businesses across the country are... or are we acting like the 'big and bad' NRA is somehow despicable for the economic hardships of these shelter in place orders?
FireSashaPezenik
Drink the bleach
You mean like every other business/agency in the country? Huge news if true.
Thought and prayers. 🖕🖕🖕
I am okay with this.
Watch out for disgruntled employees!
Not to worry.
Go bankrupt.
Best news all week!!!
Boo hoo. Thoughts and prayers
Good.
That explains this picture somebody posted
Good
Second Amendment Supporters will never decrease, only Grow. 2A🇺🇸 NRA
Put them out of business!👍🏼👍🏼
Section 242 of Title 18 makes it a crime for a person acting under color of any law to willfully deprive a person of a right or privilege protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States.
But you have idiots talking about this pandemic fake. NRA losing money, along with other rich entities shows this pandemic is real and dangerous.
TheWoodzick 👋🏼
Why has this story been in the news for weeks? DishonestMedia
Lookin ass
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Lol
Wrong 5 million member was a 2018 figure. April 19, 2019 it had its highest ever membership at 5.5 Million. It has only grown since and stands at around 6 Million. Intentionally falsifying numbers to make them look like they’re failing and not growing is blatant Fake News.
Salaries and staff but not loan payments on LaPierre's mansion, wardrobe and wife's makeup artists, I'm sure.
Booeffinghoo.
Very interesting
Thoughts and prayers
What, funding for the NRA from Russia hasn't arrived yet
