Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

    Boo fucking hoo the NRA complains it's being blacklisted and can't get insurance and may need to shut down.https://twitter.com/7im/status/1025399027884384261 …

        Yep, Russian reliance. The NRA is a pathetic organization for scared men and their enablers. It’s not about safety or sports. It’s a sick lobbying group that is losing so many members, they must rely on Russian money. #corrupt #GunReformNow

        It's also a propaganda shop. Guns aren't the main issue; using irrational fear of losing gun rights to make uneducated whites vote GOP against their own economic interests is what the @NRA is all about

        That’s for sure. Most of us have or grew up with guns. We just don’t worship them and give them priority over American children.

        I think this is the NRA looking to close shop ahead of indictments for election tampering and a bunch of other stuff. Drop their profile, let the "crooks" go to jail, and re-form under a new brand.

        This "Oh, the kids got us. We're going under now" act is so off-brand as to be ridiculous.

        If they're shutting down, it's not for insurance reasons, but to avoid Russia investigations and other messes headed their way. OR, it's like televangelist saying he's dying to beg for money.

        Exactly. I'm sure the marketing department has a Patriot Defenders of the 2nd Amendment Club they're rolling out tomorrow. However, if it's the gun manufacturers who have decided the NRA isn't paying dividends then maybe it is a real crisis.

        If the NRA shuts its doors, how will Russia funnel tens of millions in bribes to the GOP?
