NRA = National Russian Advocacy
NRA = Not Really American
So the NRA registered as foreign agents when accepting money to make lobby on behalf of russian officials/mobsters, right?
Wouldn’t a typical NRA member who is a sportsman. Has no real political axe to grind. Enjoys hunting, target and skeet shooting or teaching their kid firearms safety be upset at the organization they support continence to an authoritarian government who hacked into our election and has little regard democratic norms?
Another great investigative piece, Mr. Thielman.
Thank you.
On topic – I hope – in a broad way: Looking at our federal government from Saint Ronnie fwd recalls something from undergrad days. A friend from college reminded me of “The Iron Law of Oligarchy”. It’s on Wikipedia. Worth reading if you’ve never seen it.
I do not think there is one major aspect of of the Ratwing movement that Russian isn’t all up in.
Including Evangelical christianity.
So, if i’m reading this report correctly, does this effectively make card-carrying members of the NRA allies of the KGB? The NRA has been used by a foreign adversary as a means to revoke sanctions imposed by the American government against that same foreign adversary. This makes members of the NRA either complicit, or ignorant, or both. Take your pick.
Stories like this serve as a reminder: if there was more money to be made repealing the 2nd Amendment than selling dangerous consumer products to chumps, the money people behind the NRA would be all over it.
We 
authoritarians!
Trump & Pence + Republican Party + NRA = US Nazi movement coordinated under Putin’s global Nazi plans.
The NRA is a hate organization that pedals any and all guns to create a white militia. The irony is they use WW II Germany as an example on where civilians with guns could have stopped Hitler all the while the NRA is a neo-Nazi organization with ties to Putin. Russian gun sales via the NRA is money laundering.
Classify the NRA as domestic terrorists!
Of course.
You can’t take over America unless you do something about the guns, and who better to indoctrinate gun owners than the NRA. They did it once, and they do love big bucks.
It seems our Russian enemy has infiltrated the country much more successfully than we imagined.
Worth reading indeed, and very depressing in its way 
" …It seems our Russian enemy has infiltrated the country much more successfully than we imagined…"
The “Red Dawn” fantasy has long obsessed so many gun nuts: Russians marching down Main St.
What are you gonna do now, guys? Who was prescient enough to see such a powerful use of what we now call “social media”? Latest is that Putin put his bots to use in the memo debate. Last year he tricked you into voting for this aspiring Mussolini now in the White House. The guns you stashed away won’t help.
