The details coming out during this trial are revealing to the entire country, including Congress and NRA members, the depths of its leaders’ corruption. It's clear NRA leaders don’t care about public safety, policy or their members.

NRA leaders only care about money and power.
The NRA's finances are a mess.
-We recently learned they owe $3.4 million to the IRS;
-Revenue from membership dues is down;
-And they’ve been forced to lay off about 40 percent of their staff.
The NRA's political spending is down.
-In 2016, the NRA was Trump’s largest backer, spending more than $30 million;
-In 2020, it only spent half that on Donald Trump — and their bet did not pay off.
And the NRA's political losing streak gets longer with every election.
-They lost the U.S. House in 2018;
-They lost the Virginia legislature in 2019;
-They lost the White House in 2020;
-And they lost the Senate in 2021.
And there’s a grassroots movement going up against the NRA. @momsdemand volunteers have been involved in our organization's regulatory complaints, lawsuits and other efforts to expose NRA malfeasance, including proving the illegality of their now-defunct Carry Guard insurance.
So while the NRA is sidelined, our volunteers are strategically, effectively making the case for gun safety. The NRA may need to divert dollars from lobbying against background checks to legal fees. After years of grifting, the NRA is as bankrupt financially as it is morally...
And that’s bad news for the NRA, but great news for anyone who cares about gun safety in America. And we’re going to do everything we can NOW to get a background checks bill through the Senate and onto President Biden’s desk.
