Print this article The National Rifle Association responded on Wednesday to a federal judge's decision to toss the group's bankruptcy filing, saying it "will continue to fight on all fronts in the interests of its mission and its members." NRA CEO and Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre said in a statement that he was "disappointed in some aspects of the decision" after the case was dismissed on Tuesday, adding, "There is no change in the overall direction of our Association, its programs, or its Second Amendment advocacy." "Today is ultimately about our members — those who stand courageously with the NRA in defense of constitutional freedom," LaPierre wrote.
