Wyoming is making a bid to land the headquarters of the National Rifle Association, the Associated Press reported. Gov. Mark Gordon and Secretary of State Ed Buchanan asked the firearms advocacy and lobbying organization in a letter released to the public to relocate to Wyoming from Fairfax, Va. The two Republicans in the GOP-dominated state sent the letter June 18 and as of Tuesday hadn’t heard back from the group. The letter cites Wyoming’s lack of taxes and gun regulations as reasons it would be a good home for the NRA. Guns are popular in Wyoming, and the legislature has sought to ease gun rules further. Wyoming is home to several firearms manufacturers, including Magpul and Weatherby. The NRA already has indicated it plans to move to Texas. The group attempted to file for bankruptcy in January, but a judge dismissed the request, finding it was not filed in good faith.
