Ollie North is a convicted felon.

Is he even allowed to own a gun?

[NightWatcher]

1. Nope, he can only head the Russian backed money laundering organization.

Russia wants to sell arms to Iran, so they've found the perfect guy.

Russia funnels money through the NRA, installs a "president" who gets rid of the globally supported treaty that prevents Russia from selling arms to Iran, finds a traitor with experience illegally selling arms to Iran, and Bob's your uncle!

2. Dems need to be continually pointing that out ...

IF true. But I doubt that they will.

3. As I understand it

His conviction was reversed so he would no longer be classified as a felon

[Hoyt]

10. Now, he's just another "law-abiding, responsible gun owner," helping NRA traffic guns worldwide.

4. His convictions were vacated on appeal

There is no impediment to his owning a gun.

5. Wasn't that G. Liddy? (or both)

[DFW]

6. He's a Republican during a Republican administration

As long as he's never had an abortion, he's allowed to own an atomic bomb. Helps him stand his ground, don't ya know....

9. For this thread

[Hoyt]

11. Exactly. One of their long-range plan goals is trafficking more guns worldwide.
