Yeah, that place out 'there'. Anything not really Cambodia related should go here.

National Rifle Assoc. declares bankruptcy

Post by emm »

Believe it or not, the powerfull Weapons Lobby in the US represented by the NRA is filing for Bankruptcy ! Perhaps they don't see a bright future with Trump leaving and .... with the second impeachment perhaps never can come back (unless he is tied to a Boomerang)

(Reuters) - The National Rifle Association on Friday filed for bankruptcy, a sudden development that could help the gun rights group escape a lawsuit by New York’s attorney general seeking its dissolution.

I don’t believe it.
The first paragraph gives a clue why they are doing it. The third paragraph clearly states the NRA are solvent.

You’re the CNN of CEO.

The NRA are filing for bankruptcy in NY so they can escape a NY lawsuit and move their base to Texas. At least that's what your link says. :dm:
Filing for bankruptcy can be used as a means of escaping legal obligations. It doesn't mean that they are broke.

What kind of person fails to capitalise the first letter of his sentences or names, yet uses words like Explicate? Have you been saving that one up to use on someone? I had to look it up, so I am impressed.

"Fucking illegals. Stay out of Texas
That are going to disregard our culture, destroy our cities, form fucking gangs, kill each other, be a drain on our fucking welfare systems that are already near the point of breaking, and take jobs away from Americans that NEED jobs right now.

You know, Biden can make them American Citizens, but that doesn't mean any states have to accept them as residents. Just don't let them be able to draw from state services. No driver's licenses, no ID's, no welfare, no unemployment, no employment at all in that state.

States need to take their sovereignty back.
People in those areas and near the border should form their own group that rounds these people up if the government won't do it."


Just an idea i pinched off another site

My eyes filled so far up they spun 360 and came back.

The link clearly says why they are doing it. Bankruptcy doesn’t mean insolvent. In business two different things.
