## Resource

The NRA Foundation is officially cutting ties with the main NRA after a major lawsuit, rebranding as the “1791 Foundation” to signal a fresh start. But tensions are high — the NRA accuses the foundation of misusing $160 million and being controlled by former leadership, while the foundation calls the lawsuit a cover-up to steal their charitable funds. This split comes amid years of scandal for the NRA, including Wayne LaPierre’s resignation over financial misconduct and a sharp drop in revenue. Though the foundation vows to continue supporting safety and youth programs, critics fear the legal battle could further fracture an already struggling gun rights movement.
