Absolutely a possibility - they have the same thing running in Iowa.

US Postal Inspection Service
FBI
Mail doesn't have to cross state lines to be mail fraud, just has to be in the mail.
Based on my knowledge, I don't think their actions are criminal - just shady as hell.

I'm sure that nearly all of their fundraising is done digitally over the Internet, which constitutes wire fraud, a federal offense, if it can be proved their business is defrauding the public. The FBI would be the appropriate authorities.

We were formed in July of 2013 to combat the vicious attacks on our gun rights by gun grabbers in the Minnesota legislature.
Some of Minnesota's most pro-gun legislators are furious with Minnesota Gun Rights, a lobbying group known for sending fear-mongering letters and emails to its supporters to raise money.
A group of 11 Republican and five Democrat members of the state House recently penned a scathing open letter calling MGR "pretenders," "fraudsters" and claiming the group is based in Iowa and doesn't have any real interest in Minnesota politics.

Legislators want nothing to do with them - they have zero pull at the Capitol.
