Russia and the NRA

[BigOrangeTrain]

Sounds like a slap on the wrist. I wonder what kind of sentence a US operative in Russia would get for a similar crime?

Trump and Putin are bffs right? So probably not much would happen.

Unbelievable.

I'm surprised she wasn't just deported like they do with the Latino crime lords.

Sarcasm or ignorance?

They are not friends. They are pet and owner.

And people wonder why so many think liberals are the absolute definition of dumb.

LMFAO! Wyden determines the NRA acted badly. Shocking

In the Republicans' analysis of Wyden's report, the majority argued that it does not account for U.S.-Russia relations at the time and contains "much conclusory innuendo... and repeatedly attempts to paint a picture that does not exist."

The investigation, conducted by ranking member Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) and the minority staff of the Senate Finance Committee (Understand that to mean Democrats only)

William A. Brewer III, the NRA’s top counsel, told Rolling Stone in a statement that the Senate report “promotes a politically motivated and contrived narrative,” and insisted that “the NRA, as an organization, was never involved in the activities about which the Democrats write.”


Specifically regarding the 2015 trip to Moscow, Andrew Arulanandam, NRA managing director of Public Affairs, added: “Certain NRA members made the trip of their own accord.” Arulanandam insisted, “it was not an official NRA trip” and that “NRA CEO Wayne LaPierre was opposed to it and, at his directive, no NRA staff members or employees attended.”

Press coverage of Russian money in the NRA and its potential use in elections is starting to pick up. Didn't think it was sufficiently related to the NRA boycott issue, so I didn't want to post there.

How sad. I think they were just getting ready to make a push for the Tennessee legislature to require guns in churches and bars.

I've never considered them a boogeyman because I'm not really afraid anybody is going to try take any of my guns. I have considered them to be a grifting outfit for a long time. The reason you see so many redundant bills coming up was because they had to justify continual fundraising.

Even with recent acts that have done exactly that and a potus/vp-elect who have stated that's their goal? Are you really not paying attention?

I remember the great Obama Gun Grab of 2009 when they took all our guns. Wait... no I don't.

The left has always held the position that if they could just get rid of the NRA it would be easier to push their agenda . The NRA is a dinosaur . Most people that belong to it now is doing it because their daddy’s belong or they have a lifetime membership. Kinda like voting democrat .

Do you remember what Obama’s stated gun policies were compared to Biden’s and Kamalas?
