The first sign that the New Deal was at risk was a hassle with the National Rifle Association. Opposition to the National Rifle Association came to a head in 1935, once the conservative Supreme Court declared the agency unconstitutional, claiming the National Rifle Association gave the chief branch regulative powers that belonged solely to Congress.
