How many of them are Russians who joined just for the money-laundering?

23 contributions originated in Russia. However, many are from American citizens living in Russia.

NRA's General Counsel John C. Frazer wrote in a letter obtained by NPR. "Our review of our records has found no foreign donations in connection with a United States election, either directly or through a conduit." In 2015 to 2016, Frazer continued, the NRA received money from companies based in the U.S. that may be owned or managed by foreign nationals. "However, none of those entities or individuals is connected with Russia, and none of their contributions were made in connection with U.S. elections," Frazer added.

The problem is the NRA has a variety of accounts, and the NRA Political Victory Fund is its official political action committee and must report all of its spending to the Federal Election Commission.

It also has other accounts that require less transparency and do not report spending to the FEC — and in those funds, the NRA told Wyden, the group receives "funds from foreign persons only for purposes not connected to elections, as permitted by federal law."


How is all this russian money being laundered by the nra? Via Pute-pute's friend Torshin.

Alexander Torshin, a buddy of Pute-pute & the nra served in the russian parliament from 2001 to 2015. Torshin was involved in the Beslan school siege in 2004 that killed several hundred children.
Nice to see the NRA cuddling with only the best people! Seems the nra and Torshin have the killing of innocent children in common.
.

Finally, we find out sanctioned russians include Steele Dossier figure and banker linked to NRA- Torshin

What did the russians & the NRA get for all that money? I think we all know the answer to that question....

The Steele Dossier that was initiated & paid for by republicans can be found at Buzzfeed: https://www.buzzfeed.com/kenbensinger/these-reports-allege-trump-has-deep-ties-to-russia?utm_term=.hyQepQN5z#.evYRYqdWx

Incredible how much of the Steele Dossier is TRUE!

The nra can be so secretive about its Russian donors because it blocked campaign finance reform. The organization fights transparency at every turn, and now many wonder where its money comes from.

nra members are funding the destruction of our democracy.

Another dumb, dishonest out-of-context anti-gun nut meme.

He was speaking about randomly carrying a weapon for no particular reason in the context of hearings re the NFA which was enacted to combat gangsters at the time. Which he opposed for a variety of reasons, primary among them being that then as now such criminals pay no attention to laws and it would affect mostly only law-abiding citizens who aren't the problem. In fact, the NFA (and other gun laws) wasn't actually intended to *prevent* the use of guns in crimes. It was designed to provide a basis for prosecution of gangsters and criminals *after* the fact in violating the law.

In full context...

Quote


Mr. FREDERICK. You have put your finger on it. My general objections to most of the regulatory provisions are proposed with that in view. I am just as much against the gangster as any man. I am just as much interested in seeing him suppressed, but I do not believe that we should burn down the barn in order to destroy the rats. I am in favor of some more skillful method of getting the rats without destroying the barn. In my opinion, most of the proposals the regulation of firearms, although ostensibly and properly aimed at the crook, do not reach the crook at all, but they do reach the honest. man. In my opinion, the forces which are opposed to crime consist of two general bodies; one is the organized police and the second is the unorganized victims, the great mass of unorganized law-abiding citizens, and if you destroy the effective opposition of either one of those, you are inevitably going to increase crime, because as you destroy the forces of resistance to the human body to disease, you are going to increase disease. So, by destroying the resistance of any body which is opposed to crime, you are going to increase crime. I think we should be careful in considering the actual operation of regulatory measures to make sure that they do not hamstring the law-abiding citizen in his opposition to the crook.

Mr. KNUTSON. There is no opposition on the part of the victims?

Mr. FREDERICK. It is not a 100 percent effective. Of course, the right of self-defense is still a useful thing.

Mr. KNUTSON. It is a right, but an ineffective right under the present situation.

Mr. FREDERICK. I would be interested to show you a collection which I have made of newspaper clippings indicating the effective use of firearms in self-defense, as a protection against the perpetration of crime. Because of arguments which have been advanced by those who are against the use of guns, I have made it my business to clip from newspapers passing over my desk such cases as I run across of effective self-defense with pistols, most of them pistols. I have a scrap book two thirds full and I can show you dozens and hundred of cases happening every year.

Mr. FREAR. How many in this room have pistols in their pockets for self-defense?

Mr. FREDERICK. I doubt if any have.

Mr. FREAR. I doubt, unless a man anticipates danger, that he is going to carry a pistol. You have looked after the clippings of the man who has used a revolver in self-defense. How many men carry revolvers? What percentage of men carry revolvers?

Mr. HILL. Quite a few traveling in automobiles.

Mr. FREDERICK. There are a good many.

Mr. FREAR. I am asking under present conditions

Mr. FREDERICK. I have never believed in the general practice of carrying weapons. I seldom carry one. I have when I felt it was desirable to do so for my own protection. I know that applies in most of the instances where guns are used effectively in self-defense or in places of business and in the home. I do not believe in the general promiscuous toting of guns. I think it should be sharply restricted and only under licenses.
...

Mr. FREDERICK. In our opinion, little of value can be accomplished by Federal legislation on this point.

Mr. KNUTSON. Is it your thought to submit a substitute measure for H.R. 9066 and at the same time not infringe unnecessarily on the rights of law-abiding citizens?

Mr. FREDERICK. As I say, I have grave doubts as to the effectiveness of any such legislation.


Mr. HILL. You concede there is a necessity for something. In politics we have an old saying that you cannot beat somebody with nobody. You cannot hope to defeat or materially alter the legislation unless you submit to the committee something that is better or that will better attain the object that this legislation seeks to accomplish.

Mr. FREDERICK. I must differ with you in principle upon one point. I do not believe that Congress or the people back home want us to attempt miracles. In my opinion, based upon a rather extensive experience with this subject and study of it, very little of practical value can be accomplished by Federal legislation on the point.

Mr. HILL. I take it then that it is your opinion that the criminal is going to get firearms regardless of any laws.

Mr. FREDERICK. I think that is the opinion of any person who has knowledge of the subject. In most instances, the guns are stolen. They are not gotten through legitimate channels. Dillinger stole his guns. I have a half-dozen cases where guns have been used in prisons to effect a break; we have had that in New York, and all over the country. If you cannot keep guns out of the hands of criminals in jails, I do not see how you can keep them out of the hands of criminals walking about on the public highways.

The CHAIRMAN. If that be true, then the laws of the various States of the Union dealing with the subject, are not accomplishing a good purpose because they do not put them all out of business?

Mr. FREDERICK. I do not take that view of it at all. I believe in regulatory methods. I think that makes it desirable that any such regulations imposed should not impose undue hardships on the law-abiding citizens and that they should not obstruct him in the right of self-defense, but that they should be directed exclusively, so far as possible, to suppressing the criminal use, or punishing the criminal use of weapons.


So rather than being somehow different, his view was very much consistent with positions today.

This January, the House Intelligence Committee released its transcript of Mr. (Glenn) Simpson’s November testimony, in which he regaled incredulous committee Republicans with a wild new tale—of how the Russians had “infiltrated the NRA.” Fusion GPS had “spent a lot of time investigating” a “Mafia leader named Alexander Torshin” and a “suspicious” and “big Trump fan,” Maria Butina. Mr. Simpson provided zero detail to back up this claim—no names, dates, money transfers or specific actions.

But never mind. The day Mr. Simpson’s conspiracy-laden transcript was due to go public, McClatchy ran this headline: “FBI investigating whether Russian money went to NRA to help Trump.” The story cited only two unnamed “sources familiar with the matter.” The article admitted it “could not be learned” whether the FBI had any evidence involving the NRA, but it nonetheless went on at length about the group. A flurry of articles from other news organizations followed ... All still based on nothing but Mr. Simpson’s infiltration claim.

... The NRA flatly denied the accusation. ... It also reported it had had no contact with the FBI. House Intelligence Committee Democrats nonetheless last week issued a document demanding they get to continue investigating the “NRA’s relationship” with Mr. Torshin and Ms. Butina as well as ... Washington lawyer Cleta Mitchell, who hasn’t done legal work for the NRA in a decade.

A few days later, the same two McClatchy reporters ... again cited two anonymous sources claiming Congress was investigating Ms. Mitchell’s worries ... Ms. Mitchell tells me she told McClatchy before publication that this was false ... Ms. Mitchell calls it “the quintessential definition of fake news.”

So slime merchant Glenn Simpson makes up some completely unsupported bullshit at a hearing, the Dems then shovel it over to their pals in the media, who then publish reports about it, which the same Dems then later cite the same media reports in their "investigation" as evidence of the Russians colluding with the NRA, and this retard just parrots it like the retard that he is.

LMAO!

NRA support for gun control was hardly limited to the 1930’s. They were strong supporters of the gun control act of 1968 and continued to author and urge the advance of gun control legislation until the early 1980’s.

False like your earlier bullshit.

National Rifle Association executive vice-president Franklin L. Orth argued publicly that no law, existing or proposed, could have prevented the murder of Senator Kennedy. On June 15, 1968, the NRA mailed a letter to its members calling for them to write their members of Congress to oppose any new firearms laws.

What Orth actually said about the 1968 act was that while some provisions might have been overly restrictive, the act as a whole was something that American sportsmen could live with. Note that it was “sportsmen” that the NRA represented in those days, not brainwashed dumbfucks.

The 143-year-old National Rifle Association has not always been like today's NRA, fighting every gun control law as if the essence of American freedom depends on every citizen owning a gun. What follows are a series of shocking quotes taken from various academic histories of the NRA by top officials within the organization supporting reasonable gun control laws.

1. “I have never believed in the general practice of carrying weapons,” said NRA president Karl T. Frederick, a 1920 Olympic gold-medal winner for marksmanship who became a lawyer, praising state gun control laws in Congress. He testified before the 1938 federal gun control law passed, “I do not believe in the general promiscuous toting of guns. I think it should be sharply restricted and only under licenses.”

2. “We do not think that any sane American, who calls himself an American, can object to placing into this bill the instrument which killed the president of the United States,” NRA executive vice-president Franklin Orth told Congress, shortly after Lee Harvey Oswald shot and killed President John F. Kennedy with an Italian military surplus rifle Oswald bought from a mail-order ad in the NRA’s American Rifleman magazine.

3. “There’s no reason why on the street today a citizen should be carrying loaded weapons,” said California Gov. Ronald Reagan in May 1967, after two dozen Black Panther Party members walked into the California statehouse carrying rifles to protest a gun-control bill. Reagan said guns were “a ridiculous way to solve problems that have to be solved among people of good will.”

4. “You do know that I am a member of the NRA and my position on the right to bear arms is well known,” Reagan said, speaking out in support of the 1994 Brady bill to create new background checks and a waiting period for gun buyers. “But I want you to know something else, and I am going to say it in clear, unmistakable language: I support the Brady Bill and I urge Congress to enact it without further delay.”

5. “To ‘keep and bear arms’ for hunting today is essentially a recreational activity and not an imperative of survival, as it was 200 years ago; ‘Saturday night specials’ [handguns] and machine guns are not recreational weapons and surely are as much in need of regulation as motor vehicles,” said retired U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice Warren Burger in Parade magazine, in January 1990.

6. The Second Amendment “has been the subject of one of the greatest pieces of fraud, I repeat the word fraud, on the American public by special interest groups that I have ever seen in my lifetime,” Burger told PBS’ News Hour in late 1991, referring to the NRA’s claim that the U.S. Constitution included a personal right to own guns.

7. “These people are crazy,” said Alan Gura, referring to NRA critics who said he’d ceded too much to gun control arguments when he successfully argued before the U.S. Supreme Court in March 2008 to overturn the District of Columbia’s handgun ban and establish a Second Amendment right to a handgun at home for self-defense. “I could have, if I wanted to, stood before the Court and said, ‘Yes, [the Amendment’s clause] shall not be infringed,’ means you would never have any gun laws, and of course need to all have machine guns in case we want to overthrow the government, and while we’re at it we should have rocket launchers and stinger missiles. And that would have probably made me very popular in some cabin somewhere out there in the woods… Of course, I would have lost 9-0.”

The bill that Orth supported somewhat was the earlier 1964 bill that never made it out of committee.

Before the NRA lost it's collective mind and started laundering money for the russians, they used to believe sensible gun control.

More dumb, dishonest out-of-context anti-gun nut bullshit.

He was speaking about randomly carrying a weapon for no particular reason in the context of hearings re the NFA which was enacted to combat gangsters at the time. Which he opposed for a variety of reasons, primary among them being that then as now such criminals pay no attention to laws and it would affect mostly only law-abiding citizens who aren't the problem. In fact, the NFA (and other gun laws) wasn't actually intended to *prevent* the use of guns in crimes. It was designed to provide a basis for prosecution of gangsters and criminals *after* the fact in violating the law.

In full context...

Quote



Mr. FREDERICK. You have put your finger on it. My general objections to most of the regulatory provisions are proposed with that in view. I am just as much against the gangster as any man. I am just as much interested in seeing him suppressed, but I do not believe that we should burn down the barn in order to destroy the rats. I am in favor of some more skillful method of getting the rats without destroying the barn. In my opinion, most of the proposals the regulation of firearms, although ostensibly and properly aimed at the crook, do not reach the crook at all, but they do reach the honest. man. In my opinion, the forces which are opposed to crime consist of two general bodies; one is the organized police and the second is the unorganized victims, the great mass of unorganized law-abiding citizens, and if you destroy the effective opposition of either one of those, you are inevitably going to increase crime, because as you destroy the forces of resistance to the human body to disease, you are going to increase disease. So, by destroying the resistance of any body which is opposed to crime, you are going to increase crime. I think we should be careful in considering the actual operation of regulatory measures to make sure that they do not hamstring the law-abiding citizen in his opposition to the crook.

Mr. KNUTSON. There is no opposition on the part of the victims?

Mr. FREDERICK. It is not a 100 percent effective. Of course, the right of self-defense is still a useful thing.

Mr. KNUTSON. It is a right, but an ineffective right under the present situation.

Mr. FREDERICK. I would be interested to show you a collection which I have made of newspaper clippings indicating the effective use of firearms in self-defense, as a protection against the perpetration of crime. Because of arguments which have been advanced by those who are against the use of guns, I have made it my business to clip from newspapers passing over my desk such cases as I run across of effective self-defense with pistols, most of them pistols. I have a scrap book two thirds full and I can show you dozens and hundred of cases happening every year.

Mr. FREAR. How many in this room have pistols in their pockets for self-defense?

Mr. FREDERICK. I doubt if any have.

Mr. FREAR. I doubt, unless a man anticipates danger, that he is going to carry a pistol. You have looked after the clippings of the man who has used a revolver in self-defense. How many men carry revolvers? What percentage of men carry revolvers?

Mr. HILL. Quite a few traveling in automobiles.

Mr. FREDERICK. There are a good many.

Mr. FREAR. I am asking under present conditions

Mr. FREDERICK. I have never believed in the general practice of carrying weapons. I seldom carry one. I have when I felt it was desirable to do so for my own protection. I know that applies in most of the instances where guns are used effectively in self-defense or in places of business and in the home. I do not believe in the general promiscuous toting of guns. I think it should be sharply restricted and only under licenses.
...

Mr. FREDERICK. In our opinion, little of value can be accomplished by Federal legislation on this point.

Mr. KNUTSON. Is it your thought to submit a substitute measure for H.R. 9066 and at the same time not infringe unnecessarily on the rights of law-abiding citizens?

Mr. FREDERICK. As I say, I have grave doubts as to the effectiveness of any such legislation.


Mr. HILL. You concede there is a necessity for something. In politics we have an old saying that you cannot beat somebody with nobody. You cannot hope to defeat or materially alter the legislation unless you submit to the committee something that is better or that will better attain the object that this legislation seeks to accomplish.

Mr. FREDERICK. I must differ with you in principle upon one point. I do not believe that Congress or the people back home want us to attempt miracles. In my opinion, based upon a rather extensive experience with this subject and study of it, very little of practical value can be accomplished by Federal legislation on the point.

Mr. HILL. I take it then that it is your opinion that the criminal is going to get firearms regardless of any laws.

Mr. FREDERICK. I think that is the opinion of any person who has knowledge of the subject. In most instances, the guns are stolen. They are not gotten through legitimate channels. Dillinger stole his guns. I have a half-dozen cases where guns have been used in prisons to effect a break; we have had that in New York, and all over the country. If you cannot keep guns out of the hands of criminals in jails, I do not see how you can keep them out of the hands of criminals walking about on the public highways.

The CHAIRMAN. If that be true, then the laws of the various States of the Union dealing with the subject, are not accomplishing a good purpose because they do not put them all out of business?

Mr. FREDERICK. I do not take that view of it at all. I believe in regulatory methods. I think that makes it desirable that any such regulations imposed should not impose undue hardships on the law-abiding citizens and that they should not obstruct him in the right of self-defense, but that they should be directed exclusively, so far as possible, to suppressing the criminal use, or punishing the criminal use of weapons.

So rather than being somehow different, his view was very much consistent with positions today.

Except, as usual for anti-gun nuts, not as you present it.

Quote

But LaPierre said more than what the Everytown group quoted.

He was talking about guns brought to school by students, not teachers or trained security.

"Of the 6,000 young people the president acknowledges were caught with a gun at school during the past two years, we believe all of them should have been prosecuted," LaPierre said. "But the truth is only five were prosecuted in 1997. And just eight were prosecuted in 1988. That's not zero tolerance."

LaPierre made a passing reference to armed guards in schools, referring to "the rare exception of law enforcement officers or trained security personnel."


D'oh!

It's bullshit.

You were wrong.

As consistent with current policy, the NRA opposed the 1968 law on the same basis as it does today - that it didn't address the problem but did affect lawful gun owners.

Your anti-gun nut sources are full of shit.

National Rifle Assn. Testimony

NRA executive vice president Franklin L. Orth said S 1592 was “highly restrictive legislation” and was “unsound and premature.” Orth told the Subcommittee the NRA would support legislation which would reduce criminal use of firearms, but he said “the NRA stands squarely on the premise that the ownership of firearms must not be denied American citizens of good repute so long as they use them for lawful purposes.” Orth contended the bill would give the Secretary of the Treasury such broad regulatory powers that the Secretary's interpretation of the bill could restrict legitimate gun users. Orth also objected to the ban on interstate gun commerce except among licensed persons and objected to the proposed increase in license fees, which he called “completely unreasonable and set at such an exorbitant rate as to discourage the purchase (of licenses) rather than regulate a legitimate commercial activity.”

Dodd told Orth that portions of the NRA's April 9 letter to members asking them to oppose S 1592 were “simply…not true.” He said that “many major difficulties” had been caused by the NRA letter, adding, “It seems to me your organization is doing what I would consider lobbying against this bill.” Orth said the errors in interpreting the bill had not been intentional, but Dodd replied, “I don't think it was a mistake. Your readers apparently got an impression the writer intended.”

Generally, more now on an annual basis. Somewhere around +2 million/month or ~25 million NICS background checks/year. Doesn't correlate exactly since some are denied, multiple guns purchased under one check, guns purchased without checks to CCW permit holders, law enforcement, private sale, etc. But close enough. Was around 13-14 million in 2008-2009. By peak month, 3.3 million in 12/15 probably was the highest.

Mostly it's due to better economy, more people buying.

This January, the House Intelligence Committee released its transcript of Mr. (Glenn) Simpson’s November testimony, in which he regaled incredulous committee Republicans with a wild new tale—of how the Russians had “infiltrated the NRA.” Fusion GPS had “spent a lot of time investigating” a “Mafia leader named Alexander Torshin” and a “suspicious” and “big Trump fan,” Maria Butina. Mr. Simpson provided zero detail to back up this claim—no names, dates, money transfers or specific actions.

But never mind. The day Mr. Simpson’s conspiracy-laden transcript was due to go public, McClatchy ran this headline: “FBI investigating whether Russian money went to NRA to help Trump.” The story cited only two unnamed “sources familiar with the matter.” The article admitted it “could not be learned” whether the FBI had any evidence involving the NRA, but it nonetheless went on at length about the group. A flurry of articles from other news organizations followed ... All still based on nothing but Mr. Simpson’s infiltration claim.

... The NRA flatly denied the accusation. ... It also reported it had had no contact with the FBI. House Intelligence Committee Democrats nonetheless last week issued a document demanding they get to continue investigating the “NRA’s relationship” with Mr. Torshin and Ms. Butina as well as ... Washington lawyer Cleta Mitchell, who hasn’t done legal work for the NRA in a decade.

A few days later, the same two McClatchy reporters ... again cited two anonymous sources claiming Congress was investigating Ms. Mitchell’s worries ... Ms. Mitchell tells me she told McClatchy before publication that this was false ... Ms. Mitchell calls it “the quintessential definition of fake news.”

So slime merchant Glenn Simpson makes up some completely unsupported bullshit at a hearing, the Dems then shovel it over to their pals in the media, who then publish reports about it, which the same Dems then later cite the same media reports in their "investigation" as evidence of the Russians colluding with the NRA. And this retard just parrots it like the retard that he is.

LMAO!

The slop that Sparkler Boy puts up notwithstanding, the facts are that the NRA went through a massive radicalization heading into its second century. One could note the purges at the annual meeting in Cincinnati in 1977 as a start point, but it was more a case of the rise of the radical right infiltrating the NRA than the other way around.

It's bullshit. Note that all of the anti-gun nut writers citing it (most just parroting each other) all that is presented is one single extracted statement. This is, as has been shown, a very typical deceptive attempt to pull a statement out of context to make it appear to be something that it is not.

Again, in full context...

Mr. FREDERICK. I think that is the opinion of any person who has knowledge of the subject. In most instances, the guns are stolen. They are not gotten through legitimate channels. Dillinger stole his guns. I have a half-dozen cases where guns have been used in prisons to effect a break; we have had that in New York, and all over the country. If you cannot keep guns out of the hands of criminals in jails, I do not see how you can keep them out of the hands of criminals walking about on the public highways.

The CHAIRMAN. If that be true, then the laws of the various States of the Union dealing with the subject, are not accomplishing a good purpose because they do not put them all out of business?

Mr. FREDERICK. I do not take that view of it at all. I believe in regulatory methods. I think that makes it desirable that any such regulations imposed should not impose undue hardships on the law-abiding citizens and that they should not obstruct him in the right of self-defense, but that they should be directed exclusively, so far as possible, to suppressing the criminal use, or punishing the criminal use of weapons.

So rather than being somehow different, his view was very much consistent with positions today.

NRA Touts Oliver North’s Expertise At Avoiding Jail Time For Colluding With Hostile Foreign Powers

NRA CEO Wayne LaPierre, telling reporters that North’s prowess at escaping felony charges for conspiring with rival countries in an effort to get even more firearms into people’s hands made the former FOX News host by far the best candidate they had considered.

This explains everything. You might be the biggest fucking moron on the planet. It's certain that you possess a sub 70 IQ. It's an Onion article. The Onion is a 30 year old publication that is 100% satire. Do you know what satire is?

The NRA's Russia Connection Is Now Under a Congressional Microscope... Yes!

FBI has Obtained Wiretapped Conversations Between NRA-Linked Russian Banker and Politician, Alexander Torshin, and Convicted Russian Money Launderer... Torshin is mentioned in the Steele dossier.


The Steele Dossier that was initiated & paid for by republicans can be found at Buzzfeed: https://www.buzzfeed.com/kenbensinger/these-reports-allege-trump-has-deep-ties-to-russia?utm_term=.hyQepQN5z#.evYRYqdWx

Incredible how much of the Steele Dossier is TRUE!


No doubt russia used the nra to elect trump.

Seems like it's one copypasta troll on FFXU driving the narrative. He's either an unabashed liar or incredibly stupid. Maybe a healthy combination of both. After all, he thinks the bogus Steele dossier paid for by Hillary/ DNC cash is "true."

I do see what the Kremlin pays this troll. He's using tricks straight out of Goebbel' handbook by accusing others of what he's guilty.

I don't watch Fox News or False News or whatever forum indoctrinated your feeble brain (probably the Kremlin).

To the contrary, not a single legitimate source provided was published within the past week.

If there is one, please post it. Here's how we tell if you're an American or not. If you're American, you provide the legitimate source published in the last week and rub my face in it or, you're man enough to admit you blurred. If you're not American you'll reply with some do ypur own work or some other bullshit response.

Between 2015 and 2018, the NRA received the money you're talking about. The total amount of money was $2,500 (two thousand and five hundred), from all persons "associated with" Russia. That was 23 individuals. Two of the individuals gave a contribution totaling $525. Most of the money was from "routine payments," like membership fees. Some of the payments may have come from Americans living in Russia.

One of the individuals has been identified as Alexander Torshin, a Russian politician and the deputy of the country's central bank. His payment was only his membership dues -- he's been a life member of the NRA since 2012.

The NRA spent a lot of money (some say as much as $30 Million) on advertisements that supported Trump, whose campaign platform strongly featured the Second Amendment and gun rights.

This has all been documented out the wazoo, so what the fuck are you morons talking about? And why is the FBI "investigating" this as "money laundering"?

See, you’re not an American. You changed the subject instead of naming a single legitimate source that was published within the past week that supports your contention.

Don’t change the subject. Provide the links.

He can't because it's bullshit.

The claim was made in a completely unsupported passing comment during closed testimony before Congress by bullshit merchant Glenn Simpson.

The Dems on the committee passed it on to their pals in the lib media.

The lib media ran with the story even though they knew that it was based on Glenn Simpson's bullshit.

The Dems then did an "investigation" which consisted of writing a letter requesting info from the NRA.

The NRA complied and provided detailed info showing that it was bullshit.

The Dems then concluded their "investigation" ignoring that and citing the same stories that they'd originally leaked to the lib media instead.

You caught NRA mouthpiece in a trap so he attacked- Great Job!

Whatever news source you cited, he would have stated that new source is biased. Asking him to name a new source flipped the table.

The attempted robbery of a motorcycle was the catalyst for a shooting Friday evening that left a juvenile injured in Roanoke’s West End neighborhood, according to police.

Police have said they responded to a report of a gunshot victim around 6:30 p.m. in the area of 12th Street and Salem Avenue, near the Flag Market convenience store.

In a follow-up report issued Friday night, police said the incident occurred during the conclusion of the online sale of a motorcycle.

John Billett, 47, of Blue Ridge, told police he met with 20-year-old Rodnicka Richardson to sell the vehicle. During that meeting, Richardson was joined by Khalil Graves, 20, of Roanoke, and a juvenile male, police said.

Billet told police that when he asked for payment for the bike, the juvenile brought out a handgun and demanded the motorcycle.

Billett was armed as well, and he drew his gun and fired once, striking the juvenile in the neck, police said.

The juvenile was taken to Carilion Roanoke Memorial Hospital with injuries police said were not life-threatening.

The case is still being investigated, police said, but Richardson and Graves have been charged with attempted robbery. Charges are pending against the juvenile male, who has not yet been identified. Billett was not charged.

Many local law enforcement agencies offer safe exchange zones to provide parties involved in online transactions a supervised location in which to finalize their sales.

Salem and Roanoke County have partnered on a zone in the parking lot of the Roanoke County Courthouse, which is under 24-hour video surveillance. Those who use it should call 540-283-3161 to alert officials that a meetup is happening.

Police in Roanoke and Vinton, as well as Bedford and Montgomery counties, also offer similar zones.

^^^ Not the point; however living in a house with a gun increases your odds of death

Guns can kill you in three ways: homicide, suicide, and by accident. Owning a gun or having one readily accessible makes all three more likely. One meta-analysis "found strong evidence for increased odds of suicide among persons with access to firearms compared with those without access and moderate evidence for an attenuated increased odds of homicide victimization when persons with and without access to firearms were compared." The latter finding is stronger for women, a reminder that guns are also a risk factor for domestic violence.

The same thing is true for accidents. States with more guns see more accidental deaths from firearms, and children ages 5 to 14 are 11 times more likely to be killed with a gun in the US compared to other developed countries, where gun ownership is much less common. About half of gun accident fatalities happen to people under 25, and some recent analyses suggest that the official count of gun accident deaths among children is understated.

I know facts, the media, and reality have a liberal bias. Just deal with it.

In the same way, the NRA is laundering money for the russians.

Asked and answered, dope. Where's the link to a single legitimate source that was published within the past week that supports your contention. He'll, legitimate or not, post any link published in the past week that supports your contention. If you can't, admit you lied.

Caught? There are literally thousands of legitimate news sources. You want me to name them all? Are you really this dumb? Post the links from the past week or continue to fail. Your choice.

^^^ Yep, I asked you to name a few news sources that you consider legitimate.
If thousands exist then naming a few should not be a problem... unless you are deflecting from the fact that the nra laundered money from the russians to undermine the American democracy.

At this point, I fairly certain you are not an American

Ducking the question like a good Russian. You did not ask for a few. This is the first post where the word "few" was mentioned by you. However, here are some legitimate sources.

Print:
Washington Post
Washington Times
NY Times
LA Times
Chicago Tribune
Wall Street Journal
USA Today
Atlanta Journal Constitution
Arlington Sun Gazette
Roll Call
Politico
The Hill


Television:
CNN
Fox News
MSNBC
NBC/CBS/Fox Local affiliate news
CNBC
Bloomberg

Wire Services:
AP
Reuters
Dow Jones News Writers
Bloomberg
UPI


There's your non-exhaustive list.

Now, post a link from the past week that support your contention. If you don't, it's confirmation you're posting from a Russian troll farm.

Post the link.

You know disagreement or discord is a strength of a democracy... only those from authoritarian regimes do not understand that... seeds of discord ... hey, Ivan.

Sad that you sit on this forum all day - waiting for me to post... I'm flattered.
Suppose that is the job of a NRA mouthpiece or Russian troll (suppose you could be both).

As the investigation into the NRA's laundering of Russian money moves along a few facts...
1. By law, non-citizens, except for lawfully admitted permanent U.S. residents (green-card holders), cannot contribute money to political campaigns.
2. The NRA contributes considerable money to political campaigns (100 million in 2016).
3. The NRA confirms that it accepts foreign donations
4. The NRA confirms that it has accepted donations from 20 Russian-linked contributors
4. The NRA has a long standing relationship with wealthy Russian Oligarchs that are connected to the Kremlin

Everything above is agreed upon fact.

I'm just warming up!

That's not a link. You were tasked with posting a link from the past week that supports your contention.

Why are you refusing to do that?

Your discord is based on falsehoods and lies. You are making Goebbels proud.

Now, post the link. After all, you're all warmed up. Warmed up enough to post the link?

Still waiting for NRA Mouthpiece to refute any of my stated facts...

Since NRA Mouthpiece cannot counter, NRA Mouthpiece attacks the messenger- always a weak play, hey Ivan.

More Facts-
6. One of those Russian Oligarchs connected to the Kremlin is Alexander Torshin.
7. Alexander Torshin is a gun enthusiast, member of the NRA, and a Russian banker with string ties to Putin.
8. Alexander Torshin is a known money launder and wanted by Spain for his illegal activities.

Can you refute any of the above facts...? You the truth will set you free!

There's no attack of the messenger. You claimed: "Everything posted was from within the last week."

You were asked to provide that link. You ducked it by cowardly asking me to provide a list of what I consider "legitimate sources." I obliged that request with a list.

The ball is now in your court. Because you've been ducking the question like a coward for more than a week, provide a link posted in the past two weeks that supports your contention.

Where's your link? Stop moving the goalposts and provide the link.

Why are you afraid to post a link? It doesn't make any sense.

There are a lot of people in foreign countries who follow the NRA very closely because they have lost their right to own firearms and had no equivalent of the 2nd Amendment in their own Constitutions.

Canada: https://nfa.ca/

Australia: https://www.nraa.com.au/

And btw, there are actually Russians who would like to see ownership of personal firearms rights there too.

The largest contributors by far are Wall Street bankers.
They win every election with their bought and paid for
Puppet-Monkeys.
When the stock market is up they keep the profits.
When the fraud collapses they buy some Chimpanzee to do their bidding.Bush jr. Gave them $750 billion on his way out the door and their next rent-a-chimp gave them twice that much and appointed Goldman Sachs executives as heads of Departments of Treasury and Federal Reserve.
Relatively small amounts of money are hotly debated in an attempt to distract chimp worshippers on both sides.
That is what this thread is about.

This was already addressed earlier: Alexander Torshin is a member
of the NRA and has been for many, many years. Each year he pays his
membership dues like everyone else, which is around $100.

You characterize that as a "donation" and claim that this money is
some kind of "money laundering" and that it constitutes "Russian interference"
in the election (since like in previous years he paid it in 2016).

He is a Russian and he may be an asshole or even a monster.
So what?

You may or may not be a Russian, and you're an asshole, too.
The main difference is that you are mentally ill.

I think you're a Russian agent, allied in your own mind with Hillary Clinton,
using fake conspiracy "theories" (if we can even call them that) in order
to sow discord in the USA. The fact that you think that posting on FFXU
accomplishes anything at all is a testament to your utter stupidity and
evidence of your mental illness.

It must suck to be you.

That's all I'm going to say, except: You should seek mental health.
You need some seriously strong prescriptions and lifetime consoling.

Don't have any opinion on NRA ,but
it does seem that this is a lot of attention to the tiniest campaign contributions while ignoring the billions of dollars contributed by Wall Street.
Not sure if it's ignorance of facts or yet another deliberate attempt to distract the population .

Still waiting for NRA Mouthpiece to refute any of my stated facts...


As the investigation into the NRA's laundering of Russian money moves along a few facts...
1. By law, non-citizens, except for lawfully admitted permanent U.S. residents (green-card holders), cannot contribute money to political campaigns.

In the 2016 election cycle, the NRA’s Institute for Legislative Action — its dark money affiliate — reported spending over $35 million on election-related activities

Currently, the organization appears to be preparing for further investigation by setting aside years of documents related to Alexander Torshin, a Russian banker and NRA member with ties to the Kremlin, and possibly the Russian mob, who was recently put on a sanctions list by the Treasury Department. Torshin denies the alleged mob ties, for which Spanish prosecutors attempted to arrest him in 2013.

Torshin welcomed an N.R.A. delegation to Moscow that included Keene and Joe Gregory, then head of the “Ring of Freedom” program, which is reserved for top donors to the N.R.A.

It's usually best not to interact with the mentally ill. If looking for proof of mental illness, one need to look no further than the above post.

Folks, engaging mentally ill online trolls only worsens their condition.

The claim was made in a completely unsupported passing comment during closed testimony before Congress by bullshit merchant Glenn Simpson.

The Dems on the committee passed it on to their pals in the lib media.

The lib media ran with the story even though they knew that it was based on Glenn Simpson's bullshit.

The Dems then did an "investigation" which consisted of writing a letter requesting info from the NRA.

The NRA complied and provided detailed info showing that it was bullshit.

The Dems then concluded their "investigation" ignoring that and citing the same stories that they'd originally leaked to the lib media instead.

lol

Right-wing apologists here are too stupid to do anything but pass on knee-jerk scripted swill that they get from FOX News and the rest of the lying propaganda and excuse-making disinformation gang. It's a shame that they've gotten to this point in life without any more skills than that.
