On May 27, 2022, CNBC published the report, “The National Rifle Association’s Lobbying Machine is Still Potent Despite Financial Woes That Reduced Its Clout.”
The article states that the NRA’s “financial filings and lobbying disclosures show the group still has the means” to advocate for Second Amendment freedom — and is expected to play an active role in the upcoming midterms.
The article notes that the NRA continues to have the “support of a key advisor that helped it weather its recent financial and legal troubles.”
Brewer, Attorneys & Counselors, has represented the NRA since 2018 in connection with several legal and regulatory issues. As an example, in March, the firm and the NRA successfully defeated dissolution claims against the NRA by the New York Attorney General. The NYAG filed a lawsuit in August 2020 seeking to shut down the Association — an action that has drawn the rebuke of many legal experts and constitutional scholars, including the ACLU.
The article reports that the Brewer firm has no plans to stop representing the Association.
The firm said that it will “honor our commitments to the Association, its leadership, and millions of law-abiding members.”
Regarding the recent school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, the firm said in a statement, “This was an incomprehensible tragedy – the act of a deranged person. We extend our prayers and deepest sympathies to the victims, their families and this entire community. We also join others in the call to provide protection in our schools – to make them safe and secure.”
