The National Rifle Association (NRA) has sent out a press release announcing that they are in a transformational movement with a new strategic plan called Project Freedom.

The NRA's new strategic plan involves pursuing reincorporating the Association from the state of New York to the state of Texas, home to more than 400,000 NRA members and site of the 2021 NRA Annual Convention that will be held in Houston.

The NRA's restructuring plan also aims to help the NRA streamline costs and expenses, proceed with pending litigation in a coordinated and structured manner, and realize many financial and strategic advantages. The plan positions the organization for the future, and assures the NRA's continued success as the nation's leading advocate for constitutional freedom.

The NRA is not going “bankrupt”, in fact this move comes at a time when the NRA is in its strongest financial condition in years. To facilitate its reorganization, the NRA and one of its subsidiaries filed voluntary chapter 11 petitions in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division. The NRA is not insolvent.

They do not expect any impacts to existing NRA programming. Nothing is more important to the NRA than protecting the Second Amendment rights of their law-abiding members. They will be as effective as ever in advocating for rights of gun owners, promoting firearms education and training, and engaging in public endeavors.

NRA supporters will continue to enjoy all their full member benefits, from new members to Life Members to Benefactor Members. NRA will continue to publish and deliver your magazines. They will continue to train Americans and teach them firearms safety and hunter safety. But most importantly they will continue to fight for your freedom as they have for all these years. In fact they are expanding their national platform.

There cannot be a more exciting time to join the NRA, especially when they are expanding their national platform, and their future is bright and secure. They invite all law-abiding gun owners and all Americans to be part of it.

By filing for chapter 11, this action is necessitated primarily by one thing, the unhinged and political attack against the NRA by the New York Attorney General. A restructuring plan is a proven mechanism for streamlining legal and business affairs. All membership fees and donations will continue to be used in furtherance of their Second Amendment advocacy.

The NRA needs your support right now as they confront a Biden Administration that has vowed to attack your Second Amendment freedoms. All donations are used to further the NRA's mission.

Join the NRA today, promote their cause and get fully engaged. We must continue to win the fight for constitutional freedom!
