Because of criminal activity we have criminals roaming our streets with stolen guns or guns bought through the underground. People intent on committing a crime will not let rules or regulations stand in their way.

Hmmmmnnnn....over 5 million folks (members) being duped or not knowing any better!?

I don't think so!

Potato and potaaaadoooo. You know what a banana clip is. And the point is that it is unnecessary on a hunting rifle. Look for the point of a post, not details to criticize.

Fine !!!!!!

Tolerated, allowed and supported by far too many of those hiding behind the anti gun agenda.

AT
ALL

The lawsuit is about a particular lobby group that serves manufacturers of a particular product, taking money from individual members for dues, while those members may or may not work for those manufacturers, and that lobby group subsequently skims the dues money and other donations to use on things that have nothing to do with the supposed purpose of the organization.

Now, that might not be a horrible crime, to some of you. It is to me. But to make matters worse, this organization has non-profit status under the tax code. Which is to say - it is tax-exempt. They benefit from dues that don't necessarily go to the thing they claim should be tax exempt.

Tax exemption is based on a very strict set of criteria. They have violated that set of criteria - supremely. So they're cheating the government, they're cheating members, they're cheating pretty much everyone, including the manufacturers who "donate" millions to them every year to politically support those manufacturers as a lobby.

If it was widgets that was the product - if it's Doritos. If it's KFC. If it's the cannibis growers foundation. If it's the black shoelace coalition.

Whatever the product is...

this organization exists, at this point in history, to support the manufacture of the product. It has no care for its membership, the individuals who actually pay to be members of it. This is proven by the fact that they have skimmed millions and used that membership money for things that have nothing to do with helping members with anything at all.

That is what this lawsuit is about.

The more they insist it's not about guns.....it's about guns :MOJE_whot:

This strikes me as a response to a factual post on what the thread is supposed to be about, by someone unfamiliar with truth and facts, except those that come from him.

The doggone investigation and charges have Zero to do with guns.

It is about crooks who steal from others and spend it on them selves, present themselves in a phoney manner, lie and cheat.

Trying to change the subject of threads seems habit forming to some

What type of guns do you own then, muzzle loaders. I hope you realize a 9mm handgun is a semi automatic. 1 pull of the trigger is 1 round fired.

This will be interesting...

About time

Not assault rifle.

Once the anti-gun moonbats get rid of assault rifles they will set their sights on their next target, and then the next, and the next, until only criminals possess firearms.

Responsible firearm owners would gladly have assault type weapons become illegal if it came with an iron clad agreement to end all further crusades against other types of firearms.

I wish people knew what an “Assault Rifle” is. It is a firearm that had rapid fire with automatic firing. That means 1 pull of the trigger will fire as many rounds as are fed into the bolt. These type of fire arms are highly regulated and not authorized by the public without a Federal Firearm License issued by the ATF.

An”AR15” is NOT an assault rifle. It is a semi automatic firearm. 1 trigger pull is 1 round fired. You must release the trigger and pull it again to get another round fired. This is the same as a handgun including a revolver. The only difference is the rifle has a longer barrel designed to fire a round with more accuracy by creating greater bullet spin.

And please understand that the “AR” does not mean “Assault Rifle.”

Then limit the clip, no high powered rifle should have more than 5 rounds. Next we can argue over what hi-powered? Now, home defense would be different matter?

You might want to add mini 30 to list? Twice the rifle of the knock-offs. Best of both worlds plenty in clip, compact, semiautomatic, and .308 Round can knock’em down 400 yards plus.

The topic is about white collar crime within the NRA - not about guns.
But since you went there... as we all know, criminals do not obey laws (like only owning 'legal' guns) so outlawing guns, or specific types of guns, will not stop the criminals intent on using them to carry out their desires. Guns don't make them criminals, their choices - followed by their actions, make them criminals.
