Oh, sure, Putin is just misunderstood. I bet deep down, he is a pussycat who simply wants to be friends with us and means us no harm. After all, would Donald Trump be friends with someone who was out to get us ?

You guys realise there are sanctions against Russia right?
Obama placed Sanctions against Russian Kalashnikov firearms from importation.

TRUMP reinforced it and expanded it and stopped the importation of MOLOT firearms.
Vepr rifles? They stopped coming in back in March of 2016...

NRA has been silent about getting the sanctions lifted...

So that said, You all should be clapping furiously for the Fudd Country Club unable to reverse the importation ban of Russian Firearms.

Wow! The reasons are quite obvious....maybe you can THINK a bit. Why would Russia create fake Facebook groups that were anti-Muslim and then have fake rallies scheduled? Answer: Same Reason. To rile up the riff-raff.

The Russians wanted to fix our election..they wanted Trump to win. So the NRA support was just one small part of the whole Facebook and other "ad buys" effort.

"The contacts have emerged amid a deepening Justice Department investigation into whether Russian banker and lifetime NRA member Alexander Torshin illegally channeled money through the gun rights group to add financial firepower to Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential bid"

"U.S. investigators want to know if relationships between the Russian leaders and the nation’s largest gun rights group went beyond vodka toasts and gun factory tours, evolving into another facet of the Kremlin’s broad election-interference operation."

You'd have to be living under a rock to suggest they have NRA interest due to their internal arms policies.

LOL that's why Kalashnikov and Molot rifles can't be imported and Trump expanded sanctions against Russian manufacturer Molot...
Oh those Ruskies really got their money's worth out of the NRA alright...

The awesomeness of what's going on right now can barely be measured. Someone needs to invent a butt hurt meter.
