Virginia Governor Signs 'Assault Firearms' Ban; An Exclusive Look at the NRA's Finances
About this episode
The episode discusses Virginia's new assault weapons ban and the NRA's financial situation.
Contributing writer Jake Fogleman and I discuss Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger signing bans on so-called assault weapons and magazines capable of holding more than 15 rounds into law. We also talk about the latest financial reports for the NRA, which reveal plenty of signs of improvement for the group but also some risks.
