This is what gets me. The sanctimonious, hypocritical, views of some gun lovers that are against women's right to abortions. What's up with that? Abortions, may be needed, in some circumstances. Killing vulnerable people at school, church, concerts, driving, etc.; you accept as o.k. ????

1. This has nothing to do with Russians....
2. Anyone who can do basic math can see that voluntary donations to PP (including mind) are MANY TIMES that of what they spend on "choice" services.

I'm just glad they existed because when I was a teen I went there with my GFs. They explained the facts of life to us and provided birth control. They also checked out the ladies (basics women-type physicals) - when, at the time, it was rare for parents to take their teens to docs for any preventative care.

But let's talk about Russians undermining our country. That certainly has nothing to do with your meddling in other people's business. There are thousands of things that go on that I don't like...but I don't obsess on them and give them as answers to EVERY question.

Start PP thread #2,459 if you need some numbers.

We are discussing treason here, not women's bodies.

Yes, those were "2nd Amendment Remedies".

You must understand that what these people are really saying here is "we support Putin undermining the USA and the breaking of laws and/or ethics and other rules because we love Mother Russia and hate the USA"...

Many of these people - American Citizens - actively wish for the disintegration of this country - and, they seem to be getting their wish. Treason often works well.

Precisely!

Also:

We can't rule out the possibility that the NRA could possibly have far Right-winged-Alt-Right administrators in locked step with the Putin-Trump gang!

Trump scared me when he stated the following:

"Listen folks, the NRA is on OUR side!"....

Just what in the hell was that supposed to mean?

BTW

It has already been reported that the Russians may have donated millions of dollars to the NRA, on behalf of the Trump campaign....

It's likely nothing, on its own - but one wonders about the indirect connections.
So, what foreign monies do Left Wing organizations receive, including the NYT, CNN, and the Clinton Foundation?

The libs were also trying to ban so called "cop killer bullets", and implied most police were against the NRA.
In reality only a few politically motivated big city police chiefs were speaking against them(typically ordered to by their liberal mayors).
However the rank and file cops (many of whom are members/supporters themselves) know the NRA has many programs designed for "actual" gun safety training(Eddie Eagle program), and programs designed for the rank and file police (training courses, competitions, fund raisers, grants, etc., etc.)

Needless to say it would be absurd to make gun manufactures libel for criminal misuse of firearms, and the NRA naturally is on the forefront to prevent that backdoor means gun control.

`
Yes all that good that the NRA does is overlooked, proponents of armor piercing bullets, silencers and reciprocal concealed carry, what a great organization.


Yes it must be all those big city liberal mayors telling the police chiefs to speak out against the NRA

So who is it that is, as you say, o.k. with "killing vulnerable people at school, church, concerts, driving, etc."? Are you saying that the NRA or its members are?? You'll have to show me where they're ok with that. I've never seen them promoting that. Sounds like fictional hype drummed up by someone that is ignorant to what the NRA and its member support; lawful and respectful ownership and safety.

Uh, two of those are profit-making corporations.....with vast foreign operations.

I would explain this to you, but if you asked this question chances are you won't understand the possible illegalities involved with the Russias asking the NRA to use donated money to help Trump.

So is there a point to this thread? I mean, considering that Clinton has received 150 million from Russia in her foundation, let alone the half million that Bubba Clinton got for a half hour speech, I don't understand the issue if the NRA did receive foreign funding. Granted, the NRA SHOULD be held to a higher standard than Clinton or the DNC, but still...what's the point?
