The National Rifle Association is setting aside years of documents related to its interactions with a Kremlin-linked banker, as the gun-rights group appears to be bracing for a possible investigation, according to sources familiar with the situation.

The NRA has faced fresh scrutiny from congressional investigators about its finances and ties to Alexander Torshin, one of the 17 prominent Russian government officials the US Treasury Department recently slapped with sanctions. The gun-rights group has said it is reexamining its relationship with Torshin, who is a lifetime NRA member, in the wake of the sanctions.

1. So willing to commit treason if it means profiting financially. Guess we know all we need to know

about the NRA.

If you are a gun person, you can be one and still denounce this vile outfit.

8. Yes and many people own guns but never join the NRA

Most realize this is a lobby for the arms manufacturers, and nothing more.

I'm in Pennsylvania and I personally know many gun owners (deer hunters and such), but I don't know any NRA members.

2. The NRA has nothing to fear from the current Congress. They own Congress.

Next year might be different.

3. And the Fat Lady will sing.

So long it has been good to know yah.

4. Thoughts and prayers

That they will be exposed as traitors

[Ahpook]

5. Everything that is happening is starting to mesh together

This country has failed as far as I am concerned. Healthcare, schools, hatred for the other and numerous problems that lead back to greed.

The highest bid wins with our Gov't and any surrounding entity. We are being sold out

6. Russia has some of the most restrictive firearm laws anywhere , so you have to ask yourself

why would they fund the NRA

7. The NRA is a divisive organization

Russia likes sowing discord among Americans. The NRA is unpopular except with repuke politicians and the gun issue is divisive, so Russians might be secretly bankrolling the NRA because guns are a wedge issue.
