Reference :- The National Rifle Association of the USA has declared bankruptcy .

Reference :-    Faced with punitive litigation for egregious conduct ,  the NRA has become insolvent . 

The New York Attorney General has filed a civil lawsuit against the NRA . Apparently tens of millions of  quid in backsheesh appears to have made it's way into the pockets of senior executives and their families .

 There are allegations of misuse of charitable funds and the Attorney General describes the association as " fraught with fraud and abuse . "    

 Here at the Sky Reply we were surprised by the declaration of bankruptcy . Tens of millions of quid is nothing for the NRA .  They are the third most influential lobby group in the USA  , and don't mind spending over 400 million quid per annum defending the democratic rights of their 5 million members . Especially when those rights  are threatened by the 320 million other citizens who are not true gun enthusiasts  . 

It seems like a cowardly move to simply declare bankruptcy , vanish to greener pastures in Texas , and rent new digs .  Furthermore , the NRA should strongly deny accusations of money laundering for Russian criminals which followed from the recent Mueller report .  As patriots they would never condone such a thing .  It would be like condoning a takeover of the Capitol Building by a violent mob . 

The NRA needs to man up , not run away .   I mentioned this to Ken junior  , who strongly agrees . 

 " The NRA should stick to their guns .  " ,  Ken junior said 

 Your comrade , Ken .
