Seriously, who would have thought a bunch of Right wing grifters in bed with Trump & the Russians would be corrupt?
@Dog Man Rubbish nothing, you straight up admitted you were wrong when you couldn’t answer some basic questions. Get out you little baby boi.
That yacht sound dope af
@I HACKED YOUTUBE-, You are a troll dude.
@I HACKED YOUTUBE-, You tell them BFT! TRUMP 2020!
That’s the accusation. But, as usual, Liberals want to convict without a trial.
this man heading the NRA is the kind of grifter Trump supports. thug recognize thug.

F_uck you Google. You will never censor me
b!tches!! 🤗
@What-da Heck ! ask Al Sharpton he will be a better source on charity rides.
@rottman88
What about, what about, what about…..
Always makes me LOL !
NRA also channeled Russian money into Trump’s campaign. The country needs a good decent honest gun association that does what it is supposed to do: promote responsible gun ownership, safety classes and standards and instruction. This NRA is a political action pact for the gun industry.
The NRA is a money laundering, gun manufacturers lobby. It has been for a while.
“Stateroom” is a VIP cabin on a yacht, where the rooms where the crew berth are generally called “cabins”.
Thank you, I was not aware of this room naming.
The Russians were laundering money thru the NRA for the GOP
The sad thing is this is 100% believable. #Biden2020
09/27/19 NRA Was ‘Foreign Asset’ To Russia Ahead of 2016, New Senate Report Reveals https://www.npr.org/2019/09/27/764879242/nra-was-foreign-asset-to-russia-ahead-of-2016-new-senate-report-reveals
Corruption..
Yeah…this is way more than just domestic self-dealing. This is foreign money laundering disguised as run of the mill self-dealing.
🤷🏼♀️the reason Wayne failed to disclose use of the yacht was cuz he never intended for anyone to know
Hahaha that’s real
That didn’t work out though
@Big Blue .
NRA is no different than the Mega Churches, Paul White, Graham, Falwell, Joel what’s his face. They all live like kings on suckers who give them their money.
You left out Jackson and Sharpton. ???
rottman88 certainly. We’re all thinking the same. Biden balances and unites more of a diverse base. That’s either what voters want or more wants more exclusivity.
@King Beowulf Thank you! Joel and his lovely ex-wife! It should be O$teen.
@Tony They are NOT divorced; that’s an untrue rumor.
Atheism doesn’t make you a cool kid
NRA supporters: “We need more guns!”
world: “Why?”
“To protect us!!!”
“Against what?”
“Against other idiots with guns!”
@esj8341 nope. They take the guns from citizens they dont want owning them. They give guns to their supporters.
Go back and read your history.
@J sirk lol. I bet i know a woman that would smack you side ways.
You still call people “girls” as an insult?
Wow. Been 12 years old for how many years?

@I HACKED YOUTUBE-, Take your medication first, then talk.
@Eric Vercruyssen And no. Debate exists but not on a significant level because of your claim. Debate exists over whether it would have made a difference if Jews were armed because they made up only 1% of the population.
In support Neal Knox, Stephan Halbrook, Aaron Zelman. Against Mark Nuckols, Bernard Harcourt.
where in the world are lev and igor
Waiting in the wings. The courts can only do so much at the time.
TIME TO JOIN IN ON THEM PERKS, GUNS GIRLS, YAHCTS, MANSIONS AND CASH.
I know what a yacht is, but what’s a “YAHCT”?
@Sub Optimal A yahct is a smokers’ cough.
@Sub Optimal A yahct is a throat clearing sound.
Those collection plates are pin money for them!
I proudly believed in the right to bear arms however, the NRA internally is corrupted.
Why cant more people be logical like you. People think if you support the 2nd ammendment you must bend the knee to the nra. I guarentee 98% dont bother even doing any research.
Hadouken Hadouken Short sleeves for all!
@esj8341 The comment specifically stated he supports the 2nd. The NRA despite their posturing is not the 2nd amendment. They are accused of using funds that should have been used to help protect the 2nd for personal gain. Millions. As a Conservative I’m pretty angry about that and so should all 2nd amendment supporters.
@nick d “The NRA despite their [its] posturing is not the 2nd amendment.” The NRA postures as the Second Amendment? Huh? Your point is unintelligible.
@esj8341 no. Pretty clear from context.
I was in the NRA until this stuff about Wayne LaPierre stealing money from donors came out. But every couple months they send out a letter saying we need you all to send us a 100 dollars, or else Obama and Hillary are coming for your guns. Even after Obama had left office.
That translates as, I need your money for a private jet to the Bahamas
Yeah, how ludicrous!! The Dems like Obama and Hillary coming for your guns??? How did that turn out. Now, there are more in circulation.
The NRA count on the same thing as Trump and the Republican leadership count on: that their base can be easily manipulated into happily surrendering their self interest.
thats like a scare tactic lol… scare your members to give you more dough$$
Now go after the tax exempt churches!
Can’t be rules by religion & guns.
Unless they have $$$$$
Tax exempt income should not be used for political donations. That seems like a piece of legislation that should be a pretty easy win.
There’s already a rule against churches in politics. Many have lost their tax exempt status. It’s not criminal to be political.
Romerryll churches can still lobby for or against ballot measures.
@Jew Dy they should not be allowed to lobby
I hear you on churches but this just sidesteps the issue at hand. The NRA, if they have done wrong, should be held accountable.
Corruption is being exposed everywhere. Tear it apart!
Breaking news – Trump has named Wayne LaPierre the Minister for Grifting!
No, no, no, don’t be so rude. Wayne LaPierre is now Trumps Secretary of national and international economic relationship!
@Nothin’ but the Blues The sad part is, that I would not be surprised if this happens
@Okkie Trooy Me too!
that’s sticking the gun barrel where the sun don’t shine to all the NRA donors.
What?!?
No helicopter pad
Cheap crap…
they need to get a recommendation from Betsy DeVos. She has 10.
It’s probably one of her hand me downs
Should have applied for a PPP loan. Wait, maybe they did.
Interesting that a registered charity can fund politicians.
like planned parenthood?
Fake charities as a “disguise”
@deb polocz Goes for any charity. By the way I am in the UK and the rules of our Charity Commission would not allow it. Maybe something to look at, but there is such a long list of stuff that needs fixing in America it will have to take its position in the priority queue.
The NY AG is actually doing NRA members a favor but you can’t reason with zombies.
@Tessmage Tessera wow. I thought your 1st comment was honest but then your 2nd comment/response was well dismissive and typical. Shame, I probably would have engaged with you.
@deb polocz
You can’t have my guns regardless of the facts.
@Leo
How many guns do you own?
@Tony I am not a gun owner , but respect Gun owners rights &
Honestly , You folks deserve an organization that represents You & All Members , Not a quasi Political Organization , that uses & plays on Peoples fears for thier own Profits !
These Plutocrats are living like 15th Century Royalty , King’s & Queens of GRIFT !
@Mikevdog I own 0 guns .
What does that have to do with this matter ?
Will bieng a gun owner make me enjoy having my $$ taken by thieving Plutocrats , who live like 12th century kings 👑 on my dime ???
I pretty sure Suckers & Fools enjoy that , Not Gun owners .
LaPierre’s second nature, like Trump’s, is; Be corrupt and follow the path of ripping off the system as much as you possible can in one lifetime.
