The nation’s largest gun-rights group had seemed on its last legs. Leaders of the National Rifle Association were accused of using its funds to pay for car services, private jets to the Caribbean and other personal travel. The New York attorney general filed suit to shut it down.
The organization filed bankruptcy. One gun control group said it had become a "shell of the juggernaut that once held dangerous sway." Another proclaimed last year that the NRA was “broken,” its leaders “on borrowed time.”
But this week, even as a gunman mowed down 19 fourth graders and two teachers at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, the NRA is drawing A-list politicians to its annual convention 300 miles away in Houston. Former President Donald Trump, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and Gov. Greg Abbott had been scheduled to speak Friday at a leadership forum set to kick off the gathering, according to the NRA web site.
