The next time someone quotes the old saw “The only way you’ll get my gun is over my cold dead body,” the only reasonable response is, “Offer accepted.”

They can keep their gun, but the second part of the challenge should be fulfilled.

I wonder if POTUS will tell them not to comply. Either so that they won’t discover any connections between their debacle and Trump, or just out of habit. It seems reasonable to assume that there are some skeletons in that closet.

I hope the circular firing squad is glorious.

“The Office of New York State Attorney General Letitia James has launched an investigation related to the National Rifle Association,” James’ office told several news outlets. “As part of this investigation, the Attorney General has issued subpoenas.”

House dems could learn a thing or two from the NY AG. You don’t start with asking nicely. You start with subpoenas.

NY AG Investigating NRA: ‘The Attorney General Has Issued Subpoenas

But we all know that in the Current regime if you are GOP, Russia or Trump aligned (and the NRA is certainly is all three) you only submit to investigations that you think are fair. Democrats of course are screwed.

If someone IS actually prying a gun out of someone’s “cold dead hands” or off of their “cold dead body” or however the saying goes — then their gun wasn’t really effective, was it? :wink:

The NRA’s hold over Republican politicians, at the expense of the majority of Americans who desperately want reasonable and well-grounded gun restrictions, is mainly due to their outsized financial and organizational backing. If they’re deprived of their financial assets (due to their own malfeasance), perhaps sanity can prevail in our politics.

I also very much look forward to indictments and prison sentences for the leaders of this death cult masquerading as a “gun rights” group.

I have a feeling we are going to be hearing a bigly amount from the New York judicial system in the not-too-distant future. Mr. Mueller has left a wonderful trail of bread crumbs to follow.

I know your threads are a little bare, NRA. Would you consider selling your trademark on “NRA”? I’d like to repurpose it on a sign in Lexington Park at the north entrance to the WH saying “No Racists Allowed.” I’ll give you top dollar, maybe even 2.50, 3.

Wait. She issued subpoenas? So she didn’t leak to the NYT or go on CNN and say she was thinking about issuing subpoenas. She just fucking did it huh? Interesting. :no_mouth:

I’m picturing an action movie called “Clean Harry” about a man who doesn’t use guns to fight crime.

Not if your most sacred of documents is in danger of being revoked-tax exempt status is not a piddly little thing.

Too bad David Carradine is dead.

The NRA is bleeding profusely now and probably won’t survive much longer given the trouble they’ve caused. I suspect that they’ll probably be as popular as scientology in a couple of years and most of their current leadership will be hiding from law enforcement by then. Good riddance.

Well, if the holder of another gun shot more quickly than the now-cold-dead person, then the important thing that wasn’t effective was the person, not the gun… either ineffective awareness, or ineffective reaction time, or ineffective aim.

Or it could have been one of those scenes where both sides mortally wound each other. The gun was effective, but it didn’t keep its owner alive.

Lawsuits don’t kill gun-humper lobby groups, gun-humpers kill gun-humper lobby groups.
