The NRA — can’t think of a better place for a circular firing squad to commence shooting (Pres Oliver North feuding with Executive Director Wayne LaPierre with North being forced out, all while the organization is struggling.)

The NRA, which once upon a time had an excellent reputation as a pro gun-safety organization (including support for reasonable gun control) that represented hunters and sportspersons, has devolved into a corrupt organization that is nothing more than a lobbying arm of the gun manufacturing industry.

The NRA today has betrayed its many fine members, as it protects the rights of TERRORISTS to have unfettered access to any type of firearm they want (it opposes the “no fly, no buy” proposal that would add those on the terror watch list for screening on gun background checks; and opposes closing the background check loopholes that exempt purchases from private parties over the Internet or at gun shows (proving them to be anti-entrepreneur as they put brick-and-mortar small gun shop owners at a competitive disadvantage).

And more recently, it has been revealed that the NRA, in agreeing to funnel THIRTY MILLION DOLLARS in illegal foreign campaign donations from a hostile foreign adversary (Russia) to the 2016 Trump campaign, that they are not only willing to subvert free and fair American elections, but also have become an international money laundering crime syndicate.

At over a million bucks a year, La Pierre has been ripping off the membership for a long, long time. He and his backers are also responsible for turning it from a “sportmens” group, to a profiteering, soulless, heap of garbage.

Here comes the New York Attorney General to make the top execs of the NRA’s lives more interesting. Maybe Ollie will actually be given some time upstate this time, unlike when he lied (in uniform) to congress about CONTRA.

When the CEO Ollie North is ripping off the members to buy $200,000 in suits, maybe he’s lost his touch with the common man… Question, Were any of them ostrich?

Anyone want to chip in and help buy Ollie a heavy duty shredder? I know he supposedly has a job with Ackerman but I would bet he needs something to do while there.

Why is the NRA a tax-exempt organization?

Ya think fatso even knows how to shoot or load a gun? What is this now or continues to be..Quid pro quo?

They are going to replace Ollie with Vlad?

Some people just don’t see the advantage of having an emotionally unstable, distrusting, paranoid, conspiracy theory driven, individual fully armed, it seems.

ASAP!!!

My momma always said I should not take pleasure in the misfortunes of others. But my momma did not know the NRA.

Meanwhile, Trump is pulling the U.S. out of the Arms Trade Treaty (which hadn’t been ratified). The NRA says not allowing the U.S. to sell weapons to countries all over the world is an attack on the 2nd Amendment. I may be wrong, but that sounds like a new logic obscenity for them.

Looks like the NRA is still doing its thing.

Just joining the cover-up crowd.

I make it a point to never wish death on anyone. Sometimes that is quite the challenge.

Couldn’t have happened to a nicer bunch of guys.

The National Russian Appreciation Society?

You would have thought Ollie would be a shoe in for “President for Life” status since he is so experienced in subverting the Constitution of the United States.

Shoot.

NRA keeps a lot of secrets, our own domestic terrorist organization.

They will never give up the right to stop children from being murdered by AR-15s.

Their little red haired Russian spy girl got another 9 months in prison.

Dirty Donald thinks their Russian money is great.

“I have never believed in the general practice of carrying weapons. I do not believe in the general promiscuous toting of guns. I think it should be sharply restricted and only under licenses." - Karl Y. Frederick, NRA President 1939

“I see no reason why on the street today a citizen should be carrying loaded weapons.”- Ronald Reagan 1967

“Accept my resignation from the NRA”- Richard Nixon 1970

“The NRA is mistaken. If we strictly interpret the second amendment it would mean the only citizens that could bear arms would be those serving in the National Guard”- Ronald Reagan 1987

“I cannot in good conscience remain a member of the NRA”- George Bush 1995

“To the NRA, I can proudly say that I will never, ever let you down”- Donald Trump 2017

Duck season! Fire!

“Whom the gods would destroy they first make mad. . . " Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, The Masque of Pandora (1875).

The NRA should be declared a terrorist organization.

Like Ghandi on the issue of “Western Civilization”: That would be nice!
