A federal judge has dismissed the National Rifle Association’s bankruptcy case.

The NRA's bankruptcy filing listed between $100 million and $500 million in assets and between $100 million and $500 million in liabilities. Sea Girt LLC made a separate bankruptcy filing Friday, listing few assets and fewer than $100,000 in liabilities. In an interview, NRA board member Charles Cotton made clear that the bankruptcy filing was motivated by litigation and regulatory scrutiny in what he called “corrupt New York” — not financial concerns. Going forward, the NRA said a committee will study opportunities to relocate segments of its operations to Texas and elsewhere. The NRA sued the company in 2019, alleging overbilling, and said in Friday's bankruptcy filing that the debt owed is disputed.

Justin Sullivan/Getty Images(CNN) - Walgreens is asking customers to no longer openly carry guns into its stores in states where open carry is legal, the company announced Thursday.

Watts said that in addition to keeping employees and customers safer, asking customers not to openly carry guns in their stores puts these retailers on a new side of the gun debate. "Prohibiting open carry sends a very strong cultural signal that companies are siding with the safety of families," Watts said.

CNN Video(CNN) - As the Democratic presidential candidates fanned out across early contest states Monday, the traditional Labor Day kickoff to the fall campaign was overshadowed by their frustration about the congressional deadlock over gun safety laws after yet another deadly mass shooting over the weekend. Former Vice President Joe Biden called out President Donald Trump and Republican leaders for their failure to move gun legislation, calling the intransigence in Washington "disgraceful." "He just does not have the ability to really have a sense of empathy for people who are enduring hardship and enduring pain," Harris told reporters while attending a Labor Day rally for workers in Los Angeles. Getting ready for fallWhile the gun control debate was at the forefront over the Labor Day holiday, the presidential candidates were also doing their best to gear up their get-out-the-vote operations behind the scenes for the fall campaign. "Every day gets a little bit closer to Election Day," Sanders said in a nod to Labor Day's fabled role as the kickoff to the fall campaign.
