The letter came in early March and the message was dire.
The National Rifle Association could shut down very soon, according the four-page fundraising letter, signed by the groups executive vice president, Wayne LaPierre.
He blamed the dire straits on steps Democratic New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo has taken to pressure banks and insurance companies that do business with the gun rights organization.
[R]ight now were facing an attack thats unprecedented not just in the history of the NRA, but in the entire history of our country, the letter began. And if this attack succeeds, NRA will be forced to shut down forever.
