The NRA laundering money to the Republicans did it's job. It allowed the Repubs the needed amount of time to establish many other back channel routes for Russian, Saudi, etc etc money to Trump and the party......

Republicans have been able to embed deep levels of corruption throughout our system. Given their fascist leanings, we may have already passed the point of no return. Our democracy has never been in a more fragile place

It's a despicable organization whose primary job is being the PR team for the arms industry and that had millions from Russia funneled through them to Repubs.

for taking vigorous and effective action against the NRA. Talking Points Memo has followed this story pretty closely over the past year or two.

yes it would.

They could probably get their financing from the same folks who help ISIS.

They may let the NRA go down. It's got such a negative reputation now they may be wanting to get away from it. So I wouldn't be shocked if the NRA dies and gets replaced (if it hasn't been already) by some other organization. Something with the words Second Amendment and Freedom in most likely.

The NRA used to be for sportsmen, hunters and gun safety.

Now it has become an industry owned shill for the sale of more guns and the enrichment of its leaders.

Ever since #41 stuck his pitiful head in out lives and then his horrible spawn #43 came along and really taught all of us true meaning of GRIEF I have nearly lost my best friend from way back in high school. My study buddy. My lose our virginity on the same weekend buddy. (No we are not gay). My "we will always be there for each other no matter what bestest ever friend" no holds barred for ever and ever buddy UNTIL trump buddy. 45 nearly has killed us and I hate him and his bunch of fire them all and let the planet sort itself out later pitiful pieces of crap NRA hugging republicans go to hell where they all belong. I miss her so much but I don't miss her tired old excuse of always saying "if we ban assault weapons than only criminals will have the guns" makes me want to hurl up everything including my toenails. If this is REALLY TRUE then I am so SOOOOOOO grateful words cannot describe it. The only news she watches is Fox news and that other piece of crap 700 Club. Can we force either one of these to run it?

They would be infinitely richer if they had bought stocks instead of guns. Glad to see NRA collapse.
