How long before the NRA says "everyone needs an AR-15 because of all the bad guys who have an AR15?"

[Still In Wisconsin]

If it hasn't already happened, it will. Just think of all the money to be made on AR-15 sales and ammo sales! #MAGA!!!

1. You could be onto something there

Hate to think it could become reality, but you can't put anything past those fuckers.

2. They've pretty much done that since assault style weapons fuel today's irrational gun market.

If an NRA rep stood there with a gun in his hand, yelling "from my cold dead hands" or some such BS, it'd be a AR15.

3. They'll probably think that every baby should be issued one

They’ll probably think that every baby should be issued one at birth.

That is, every baby of a white complexion.

4. Nope

Every white person needs a couple dozen at least.

5. How fast can they ramp up production?

6. "Everyone needs to buy a senator like we did" the NRA

Yes, that's what really happened

[Still In Wisconsin]

7. It absolutely happened. But what part of said Senator does the NRA own, as opposed to Putin?

Or, are the NRA and Putin basically one entity now? I've always looked at the NRA as the lobbying wing of the gun industry, whereas Putin is obviously just a hostile foreign actor.
