‘No One Is Above The Law’: N.Y. AG Files Lawsuit To Dissolve NRA | Craig Melvin | MSNBC
She’s sending another strong and loud message to Twittler.
Twitter isn’t a non-profit….
Whitemanfromtowne T < racist detected
Whitemanfromshittyamerica My thoughts and prayers go out to the NRA, I would help them but it’s too soon…
@themarbleking really. help them, in what way. committing murderous massacres. God doesn’t side to fire arms that murders are committed through them. it’s time for the NRA to be abolish once & for all.
themarbleking : Another one?
*It’s about time. This is DRAINING THE SWAMP!*
@Born Texan by that standard, every single politician, democrat or Republican is part of the swamp…
@Born Texan wrong swamp he’s talking about Trump’s swamp since it’s so much bigger and deeper!
@Born Texan Bernie Sanders wasn’t running on corporate funding so your point isnt much of one
rugby3230
yeah, right LOL
Born Texan And don’t forget Hillary’s e mails .lmao 😂😂😂
We need a whole lot more of this.
David you are right. The MORE starts with CLEANSING the Whitehouse in November. COVID and corruption in gov. has brought an OPPORTUNITY for Americans to MAKE AMERICA TRULY GREAT not just great again. A TSUNAMI OF VOTERS IS NEEDED AND A HUGE PROTEST BY ANYONE WHOSE VOTE IS NOT ACCEPTED. Good luck from Canada.
@D B WRONG. FACT: Not one person of the powerful ruling elite gives a darn about what you the dumbdowned heathen, cattle population thinks, feels, and wants. When will you learn that? When?
We will get a whole lot more of this once the women are in charge.
Yes starting with the mainstream media.
@Cool Beans You mad 😠? Aww, get over it, like Mick said.
How much illegal money did they funnel to Trump ?
Not as much as BLM to the Dems
Lol
@Gene Robinson… “Remember Maria Butina…” I do. She only served 18 month in prison as a Russian Agent. And La Pierre could not have care less about the money’s source, just so long as he was able to funnel money into his Personal Luxurious life Style, a Yacht, jet skis, luxury mansion, hair stylist Flown In, etc etc. Maria Butina was just a Putin means to increase and spread Havoc and Chaos. VOTE McConnell/Trump OUT Of OFFICE On November 03, 2020. And DEMAND Full Public Campaign Funding For ALL American Elections.
@Keith Johnson – Shelby GT500
Here is a little EDU. For you.
President Obama’s economic policies did not fail, they were prevented from ocurring by a republiçian controlled Congress and a republiçian controlled senate ALL WHO SIGNED A PLEDGE to never support President Obama in anyway as long as he was in office. I encourage you to stay on subject, you don’t want to get downgraded to a kiddy-car
@Francis Godinho
DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH.
@Ann Owens
Thanks for your response .did you see/hear the New York attorney’s general press conference yesterday? She has layed the n r a to bear. 4 board members guilty of the same crimes as la Pierre, that they have been stealing millions from their members and others for decades,for their own personal use. Two of those board members have cut and ran.
There was a time when the n r a was a good organizational that did good things, untill la Pierre came along and politicized them. La Pierre is and always has been a con and a grifter. He took the NRA down a dark deep hole. I truly feel for the members but they should have seen through the smoke screen.
No one is above the law. Not the NRA nor Trump 👍
@hhhh9579 That’s funny! Eh… nope! Not gonna happen.
@Cool Beans LOL! What a total *dumbfuck* you are. 😆
@I HACKED YOUTUBE_.
If you don’t vote for me, you ain’t a vegetable.
@Tessmage Tessera 4 more years WOOOOOOOO LATINOS FOR TRUMP KAG 2020
@C H are they bigger than Michelle Obama’s balls
Donald John Trump’s lifelong criminal career is about to catch up with him.
https://sal-tripin.com/sal-tripin-says/blog/the-liars-will-keep-lying
Yes no one gets away for ever.
J My thoughts and prayers go out to the NRA, I would help them but it’s too soon…
Agolf Twitter plays with his own crastrated balls.
His biggest mistake was walking into the oval office…
Of course they should be dissolved. The voices of the thousands of dead ,especially the dead children, cry out for justice from beyond the grave. Whatever it takes to get rid of them.
so you think if there were no guns, murder would stop?
Paul Wilson It wouldn’t. The statistic would just shift to other things like stabbings, bludgeoning, and hit n runs. Gun violence is only symptomatic of a larger problem in the US that for some reason people are tunnel visioned on, and because of that so are politicians.
My thoughts and prayers go out to the NRA, I would help them but it’s too soon…
Elained Blais. All the Blacks, and Black Children are killed by Blacks in Chicago & in New York governed by Black mayors. No Children are killed in Republican governed States.
@Mark bodman lmao they dont have voices they cant even feel.
NRA advocates are complaining on Twitter. Why? Are they ok with NRA execs fleecing tens of millions of dollars from them for decades? This has nothing to do with the Second Amendment, it’s systematic fraud.
FACTS… Facts Always Confuse TRump Supporters…. Birds of a feather flock together
This is 100% an attack on Gun Owners and the 2nd Amendment. These rabid anti-Americans have drooled to disarm the populace. National Socialists always behave the same. This is about power and control over decent people.
@Frank Miro yes, a lot of those people can’t own guns – but yet they do. I think there might be something a whole lot bigger going on, I hope I’m wrong. But there’s a lot of really bad people across the country right now locked and loaded and ready for a civil war. The FBI can’t arrest them fast enough.
@PKay Gray
There are those who are ready to self defend against those so called ‘people’ as well.
My thoughts and prayers go out to the NRA, I would help them but it’s too soon…
THIS MESSAGE…IS WAY OVER DUE…BUT DUE NEVERTHELESS…ANOTHER STRAW BROKEN FOR ENDING DUMP!
@Altair IV I appreciate your comment and will share the information you compiled. Thank You.
@Brother Sanguinary probably…but they are nuts anyway, so it doesnt make much different…problem is:`…they have guns….but so have i….but i dont dream of using them on people like they do
The original mission of the NRA was gun safety. Why are they not offering gun safety classes in cities like Chicago or New York? Seems they could use some help.
@The Blade their goal now is to have lunatics in full combat gear and AR-15 standing on the streets and look stupid….
dickpet
how exactly does this effect Trump?
The NRA took in at least $30 million from Russian interests during the 2016 election.
I remember during that time the NRA went hard right looney tunes with their ads. The ads were filled with vitriol and demonization of the left; they had nothing to do with guns or any politicians or rules or laws, they were just wall to wall screeching and whining.
50 million actually.
timber_beast Nooooo…. It was $80 million. The numbers are documented.
Who can forget Maria Butina and all the old republicans who fell for her. LOL!!!
@hhhh9579 2020 years sounds about right. Excellent suggestion. Hard labor, no parole of course.
*@hhhh9579* 🤭 You brought a -knife- dumb comment to a *GunFight!* 🤣😂🤣😂 😷
Hilarious ! ……………
The NRA accepted the foriegn donation of 30,000 from Maria Butina. READ the Mueller report.
@Horacio Cordova Trump needs Kanye to be president so Trump can be pardoned.
NRA: Not Really Americans. The National Russian Association?
🤔
Speak out against this tyranny. Write to thye NY AG and tell her that you d not support her atack on the 2nd Amendment. Do NOT vote for a Democrat anytime, anywhere.
@themarbleking They don’t need your prayers. They need your support. They need you to vote for the Good Guys – the Republicans. Or our country becomes China Light. For now.
@thom wessels https://youtu.be/rbFJWo3gdRI
I love you’re not really Americans hope you don’t mind I like to use that when I make comments in the future.👏
Right on!!!
But Russia Intelligence just spent millions to buy them. Is Putin owed a refund?
#REFUNDINGPUTIN
dementia democrat lol
Lol🤣🤣
He got more than he invested for through DJTs actions.
Lolol
Clearly this AG is not an anti-Yosemite 😂😂😂
Clearly 😎😎😎
Bwa-haha
“Yo semites, yo semanites.” -A stable genius, with a great and unmatched wisdom. A student of history, who knows words; the best words.
🤭😆😆😆😆😆Aced it! MOMENTUM!
She’s just a Marxist in American clothing.
Any organization that spends millions to ensure that the documented mentally ill, be able to purchase semi-automatic weapons, needs to be “dissolved”
I agree…they have NOTHING to do with the 2nd amendment! I used to own a gun but when I was diagnosed with bi-polar I gave up my right because when your in a manic episode your reality is altered.
Bo bbie Zaborsky. Good on you ! I hope you’re doing well.
You say that as if it’s OK for them to purchase non semi-auto firearms such as bolt action rifles and revolvers for example, when in fact they can’t lawfully purchase ANY firearms from a licensed dealer where they (the buyer) must complete Form 4473 which the dealer then submits to the NICS system who subsequently informs them they can “proceed” or not with the transfer (from their inventory to the buyer) In other words, you have no idea what you’re talking about.
@Cassie Spencer yea, I wonder how many guns Kanye West has??
Yikes. 😲
@Cassie Spencer bullsh$t, study a bit more.
I believe no one is above the law. If you commit a crime, President, corporation, or citizen, all should immediately be held responsible. NRA included.
@Jo Kier I agree but believe there is more, just not exactly how to phraise what I see and feel.
*police
@Jo Kier I can’t say I am 100% behind you but I am at least 95%. Thanks for your reply.
ohhh and also obama, comey and the rest of the coup crew
They’re no accusation of crime. It’s a civil suit.
About freakin’ time. NRA has been corrupt for a long time.
Another Democrat calls for the demise of the United States of America. Of course. The party line.
Steve Blaine. NRA has been corrupt for a long time —if so you knew about it, why you did not arrest them long time ago???? Were you getting paid under the table with a fat roll of dollars, like all democrats do to become millionaires. Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi and Obama, who owns 2 homes costing millions
Gun Control Is Racism another Republican projecting and making claims without fact or proof. Typical Republican strat.
Francis Godinho your a misinformed fool, FRANCIS!
Every time one of you trumpets opens your mouth it’s like when your guys on TV you put on a blindfold and put in ear plugs.
Have you ever heard a lie you didn’t believe?
@ABOM 6669 Are you real or a robot made in China from scrap metal. Do you have balls, pee or poop or fart. There is a saying the Islamic Koran. Never argue with a dumb ignorant fool. Just leave his alone to turn into rust.
The NRA is among the largest “dark money” organizations, reporting the greatest amount of campaign spending without revealing the source of the funds — over $35 million in the 2016 election cycle alone. Still, this amount was just a fraction of the over $175 million in reported campaign-related spending that came from unknown sources.
@Todd Jenkins At least he’s consistent 🙂
@Todd Jenkins how dumb do you have to be to Bankrupt a casino?
@Todd Jenkins
Todd please don’t forget the FAILED PRESIDENCY.
@Alex Hamilton again with what about. What one individual or organization may or may not have done has absolutely nothing to do with the actions of another. You can not justify stealing money by saying ” what about that guy. He stole also.”
@Todd Jenkins The fraudulent fool is a failure.
Too many bad things come out of this “charitable” organization
Killing people with guns for one thing.
@James Cassidy TRUE⚠️🙁
💔🇺🇸😷
Once I heard the NRA was in bed with Russians I canceled my membership.
you “heard”?
