From CNN reporting:
The National Rifle Association is setting aside years of documents related to its interactions with a Kremlin-linked banker, as the gun-rights group appears to be bracing for a possible investigation, according to sources familiar with the situation.
The NRA has faced fresh scrutiny from congressional investigators about its finances and ties to Alexander Torshin, one of the 17 prominent Russian government officials the US Treasury Department recently slapped with sanctions. The gun-rights group has said it is reexamining its relationship with Torshin, who is a lifetime NRA member, in the wake of the sanctions.
The renewed attention has highlighted the close-knit if sometimes uneasy alliance between top NRA officials and Torshin -- a relationship that ensnared members of Trump's team during the presidential campaign, inviting further congressional scrutiny.

Re-writing history, again, jmorris? Who is paying you to do this? Could it be, Ruskies? The NRA started as an organization promoting marksmanship, so that the US would have enough cannon fodder to throw into things like world wars. Having your ass conscripted and attached to the butt of a rifle is kind of the opposite of civil rights. But, nice try for your Russian Bear masters! Although, in light of your pathetic and total failure in this regard, I would be wary of door knobs, and other places neurological weapons could be placed. No accuracy need for those!
