An organization who has spent the past four decades, post 1978 coup chastising the so called elites and pitting regular Americans against each other sure seem to behave like a bunch of entitled, uh elites.
Since NRA is nothing but a vehicle for fleecing gun worshipers, is not surprising that is showing all the corrupt symptoms of a religious cult, all that is missing is a sex scandal with minors involved.
Ironic that Oliver North will go down in the history books as the man who destroyed the NRA.
Will this penetrate with the rank & file NRA members? Probably not…
I wouldn’t be surprised that they rise & send more money to them…
America has always produced a special quality of conman, but you can’t find much analogous in recent history to this group. Trump is a widely admired conman, with over a third of the country still convinced he is fit to be president, but this is a different species. They naturally prey on visceral fears about races, dick size, property ownership, control, and the ability to project lethality, and thus line up with a passel of GOP themes, but they also are sneaky. Maybe the South’s greatest contribution to grifting, Soapy Smith comes closest to these people. But still we’re looking more at a product range of cleansing products when its comes to the NRA. The Detergent Gang. But then maybe they’ll let somebody (Tom Selleck?) be the hair conditioner guy.
“NRA SANDAL WIDENS”
Too funny. What is it now? EEE?
Oh Noes!!!
Not the wide Sandal
Proven duplicitous right wing poseur and military criminal becomes board member of the NRA: When are the left going to realize that the right has its own self sustaining media coverage that has trained 140 million Americans to hate everything the US government and anyone Left of ‘kill them all and let God sort them out’ do?
Those are going to be some wide sandals.
so wide they can walk on water just like Jebus
No, it won’t destroy the NRA. It may do a rotor-rooter clean out, but it won’t be destroyed.
The key will be to watch how much influence the NRA has on what’s going on in Virginia. Their fingerprints and their cash (what there is of it) will be all over this.
Go back to cowboy boots??
They’ve always had a very large footprint. Too large, in fact. I shudder to think that it’s widening.
Me? I just love a juicy ammosexuals scandal.
Oliver North has very large feet.
The NRA has been splintering for at least the last few years. Rank & file NRA members are definitely leaving. They’re refusing to pay membership renewals.
Like many cults, when the leadership collapses.
Scandal, not sandal. Proofreaders wake up. Drink some of that fine New York coffee. Regular. It seems like this Second Amendment is the right of thievery. They’re just running away with the silverware. Not a scruple in sight, much less a constitutional right.
Think destroy in terms of likely bankruptcy, and a reincarnation following that with much less influence over anything. The financial shit and grifting stuff clearly hasn’t all come out.
