NRA's road to one measure of financial stability

Amid its much-publicized legal turmoil, the National Rifle Association ran an unrestricted net asset deficit in 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2022. In 2021, it ended the year with a surplus while also increasing its net assets to a much higher level than in prior years.
