“No organization has been more important to conservative voter education and engagement than the NRA." Please substitute indoctrination and fear-mongering for “education and engagement” to get to what the NRA has been up to since the gun lobby took it over.

I’m sure Putin and his Russian pals will come to the rescue of the Tiny Penis Club!

Trump will have to rely on evangelical orgs to get the vote out. I think they’ll find that the religious right are not the powerhouse they were in the 90s through 04.

Sounds like it's time for Trump to call in a favor and have Putin send the NRA a substantial contribution. $200 million or so would do it.

Now is the time for the House to enact some strong control regulations even if the Senate won’t act on them, just get them on record for being OK with killing kids.

IKR. For all of their bravado about guns solving everything, their coup attempt, subsequent purge of folks, and all the rest has been rather pedestrian.

Is it possible that there’s a future opening up for us in which both the NRA and the Republican party are irrelevant to national politics? Bestill my beating heart.

The NRA is a small portion of the minion population. What they might not be able to do is influence the election with their dues, but they will still show up in force. It’s the financing that will be the problem, not turnout.

Their 2nd Amendment solution involves shooting each other in the back it seems.

Let’s hope the full story of the Falwell’s pool boy and Cohen’s involvement is revealed before the next election. Might dampen the evangelical fever.
