Can you believe people on the right being financially corrupt?
This is American Justice.

NEW YORK — New York’s attorney general sued the National Rifle Association on Thursday, seeking to put the powerful gun advocacy organization out of business over allegations that high-ranking executives diverted millions of dollars for lavish personal trips, no-show contracts for associates and other questionable expenditures.

I was a member of the NRA for a while. It came with my Hunter Safety Course (taught in a high school classroom after hours using real rifles) and my NRA Marksmanship Course (taught in a school basement big enough for a short shooting range). I gave up on them when they were bought out by firearms manufacturers in the mid-70's. Actually, "bought out" is the wrong term here - the manufacturers supported a slate of candidates for leadership posts with typical campaign material - posters, buttons, etc, at the 1976 annual convention. The new leadership transformed the association from the "shoot safe, shoot well" emphasis encouraged by its founders (retired Civil War Generals who hoped to improve the shooting skills of the draft-age population) into a "buy more guns" emphasis. They did well by invoking hysterical fears over threats to the Second Amendment, raising money both from members and corporate sponsors. Anyone who has had a kid in a large non-profit soccer club has suspicions about what happens when too much money is lying around. Same thing applies here.

100%.
Private equity bought some of the biggest gun manufacturers and their CEOs make like $25 mil. per year.
That's a lot of clout!

I will when you show me his indictment.
Did you know there's a difference between gossip and American Justice?
Probably not, "Outlaw!" Such a cute moniker! "Outlaw." Gets me every time.
It really is like talking to a little kid or a dog.

Sounds like a conspiracy...
Tell us, was the NRA at the Grassy Knoll?

There may be two conspiracies here - the first in the 70's to take over the NRA and bend it into a marketing wing of the manufacturers, and the new one alleged by the NY AG in which current and recent NRA insiders raid the group's funds for their personal benefit.

As for your "grassy knoll" attempt at deflection - L H Oswald ordered his weapon by through the mail from an advertisement in a magazine. No background checks, no tracing of ownership. Things were different in the 60's and the manufacturers were fighting back hard against regulations and restrictions being imposed after several gun assassinations and attempts.

She hasn't shot jack shit. Guns are a fundamental right to our protection... as evidenced by the massive amount of gun sales since you liberal idiots decided you need to riot everywhere possible. You created and want chaos to blame Trump but you idiots never thought about how that would result in millions more guns on the streets. Fucking idiots.

"Guns are a fundamental right to our protection" as are masks, social distancing and sheltering at home as much as possible.

Indictment? He's a libtard. Libtards love criminals. In fact, he's letting thousands out of jail as we speak. We need to make sure they don't get the 'Rona virus. Oh, and VOTE!
