The National Rifle Association has said it's suffering from substantial financial issues that could cause the organisation to "be unable to exist".

A federal judge's temporary restraining order aims at blocking plans to upload blueprints necessary for a person to build a plastic weapon in their own home. Here's what we know as the legal battle comes to a head over whether 3D-printed plastic guns will become a reality soon in America: A federal court in Seattle on Tuesday issued a temporary restraining order blocking Cody Wilson and his Austin-based Defense Distribution from uploading plans to make 3D-printed firearms from handguns to AR-15 style rifles.
In this May 10, 2013, file photo, Cody Wilson holds what he calls a Liberator pistol that was completely made on a 3-D-printer at his home in Austin, Texas. Eight states filed suit Monday, July 30, 2018, against the Trump administration over its decision to allow a Texas company to publish downloadable blueprints for a 3D-printed gun, contending the hard-to-trace plastic weapons are a boon to terrorists and criminals and threaten public safety.
WASHINGTON President Donald Trump said Tuesday he's "looking into" easy access to blueprints for 3D-printable guns, saying in a tweet that "doesn't seem to make much sense." Trump's tweet comes less than 24 hours before that technology becomes widely available under a legal settlement his own administration reached earlier this year with Defense Distributed, a Texas-based nonprofit that will release blueprints for guns online starting Wednesday.
Since February, Putnam, Republican candidate for governor has been slapped for supporting the Second Amendment and the National Rifle Association; watched as Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School students boycotted Publix for its $670,000 donation to his campaign; and was forced to defend his actions after a staffer in his Division of Licensing issued 291 concealed weapons permits without reviewing the background checks. Never mind that Putnam called in the inspector general as soon as he became aware of what happened, or that the employee was fired and the permits revoked immediately.

Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh says he recognizes that gun, drug and gang violence "has plagued all of us." Still, he believes the Constitution limits how far government can go to restrict gun use to prevent crime.

The NRA and their spokeswhore Dana Loesch have been noticeably reluctant to comment on its ties to Russian operatives intent on undermining American democracy. Samantha Bee calls them out on that, using their same over-the-top dramatic video style.
It's been a tough stretch for Republicans these days. On Monday Sacha Baron Cohen punked Phillip van Cleave of the Virginia Civil Defense League and Larry Pratt of Gun Owners of America, who both make the NRA look like Everytown for Gun Safety by comparison.
Four days ago we suggested that this "Maria Butina - Russian spy" story was a set-up to take down the NRA and conservatives. Butina was charged with conspiracy to act as an agent of the Russian Federation and is being held without bond.
The NRA Is Awfully Quiet About Maria Butina - Why won't the NRA comment on the arrest of the gun rights activist and accused Russian agent? - It typically takes a mass shooting to keep the National Rifle Association this quiet. - As of this writing, the NRA has issued no public comment How to Handle the Outrage Mob - Bethany Mandel - Yesterday actor Mark Duplass tweeted a nice across the aisle ovature to the Daily Wire's Ben Shapiro: - He was, as the kids say, ratioed.
