Well, the jig is up. There are Russians with ties to the NRA.

NPR - the "unbiased" news source. Hard to see a difference between NPR and the Huffington Post these days. Other than I have to pay taxes to NPR.

"Utter insignificance" doesn't even begin to describe the insignificant-ness of this.

20 members out of 5 million? That's .0004 percent. That's a walking definition of "statistically insignificant."

No, I didn't confuse percentage with actual decimal numbers. Divide 20 by 5,000,000 and you get .000004. That's a pretty small number.

NPR, let the Trump-derangement flow through you.  >:D

I wonder how many "Russian ties" we could find among the major news outlets. Does NPR have any correspondents that live in, or visit Russia? How many ex-pats sending NPR their donations from Moscow?

Paging Mr. Birch, Mr. John Birch to the white courtesy phone.


Can someone check under my bed, I scared to find out how many are under there...

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

They'd *expletive deleted*it if they had any idea how many actual Russians were (and are) in the State dept since WW2..

The American Rifleman, along with many other U.S. gun mags, is a good source of information even on new, foreign firearms.  I can't imagine there are no Russians who aren't interested in firearms, especially in their military.

Without any citations, I would bet there are also members from Great Britain, China, Iceland, and other places around the world.  Eeek!

This is just another example of attack desperation on the part of the non compos left wing.
