[hunterrgntr]

Sure take financial advice from a guy who does not pay his own bills and bilks others out of their money.

[Tsuka-bnhq]

John Lewis/John McCain dead: who?

NRA: oh no! Save the NRA.

[hughgraham]

Is it legal in your country for charities to donate to politicians and political campaigns?

[Swnsasy]

So they are using membership dues and donations to live lavishly within the NRA leaders..? Where is the outrage from you NRA members? You're fighting for $600wk to live but they spent $500k on just black cab service in 3yrs! That's where your money went..

[appmxh]

Trump giving advice after the success of Trump Foundation??

[mvvpro]

"My name is Vladimir Putin and I approve these crimes."

[CaptainColor]

/gets some popcorn

[robwright]

How is wayne LaPierre is allowed to be so beyond laws? Is there any crime thst he can be accounted for ?

[eland]

Has he asked Texas about that?, or is Texas one of his business...

[MrDan]

When will arrests be made.
Although the president will not be. Others can be. Like his family

[greymouser]

NRA 'nothing to see of your money anyway.

[MrAer]

Everyone who gets involved with Trump loses. Roger Ailes, Steve Bannon, Omarosa, Michael Cohen, NRATV, all in trouble.

[TaylordSpirit]

2020 is definitely the year of EXPOSURE.

[konradyearwood]

Decimated by the cost of the lawsuit??? These guys are squandering tens of millions!!!

[santolify]

I foresee senior GOP all wearing orange jumpsuits. 😈

[VSupersQirreL]

The second ammendmend in the USA would be much better, if one person could
buy a handgun or two, by showing his documents so you know, to whom
it belongs. Why could you buy a half-automatic rifle without even showing
your ID? In Germany we couldn't buy a gun at all, only for self protection -
which has to be prooved, and it is well documented. You can't buy a G3 or an
AF 15, not a pumpgun, nothing like this. And we are safe, at least safer than you
in the US.

Question is - "Do you really think the conservatives are going to believe that it's going to stop at disbanding the N R A ?"
Remember, it started with "ban choke holds" then became "defund police" then became "Chaz".

[seniormercado]

no one above the law ...
2020 bad year for the crooks..

[mh-nqld]

Who pays for attorney's defense fees for Lapierre ? NRA or Lapierre?

[richardowens]

Trump speaks of the NRA like it's a person. Oh, wait - the Supreme Court says they are.
