Russians Infiltrating the NRA?

[sneakypete]

Am I the only one puzzled over why the Dims are all shrieking in horror over Russians joining the NRA? Did someone make the NRA a branch of the US government while I was sleeping last night,and grant them the right to make and enforce laws?

It ain't like they are infiltrating the FBI or the CIA,which are things the Dims don't really want to discuss for some odd reason.

Along those lines, it could be said the Russians infiltrated the media through Anya Chapman.

They should be happy that Russians are registering themselves and getting interested with gun safety. Would a spy so easily make themselves known to a large organization that has an active reputation within a public sphere?

[To-Whose-Benefit?]

The NRA gave Mikhail Kalishnikov an Honorary Life Membership.

Would I have been upset if he moved in next door?

Not in the slightest.

He said that it was "unfortunate" what others had done over the years with the AK 47 he invented, but he invented it for His country's soldiers to defeat Hitler's army with.

And truth to tell,he stole the basic design and the intermediate round idea from the Germans and their STG-44. The Russians will never admit that,though. They invented everything. If you don't believe it,just ask one.

Hadn't heard this, but my initial reaction is its an obvious rat ploy to delegitimize a political nemesis.

It's ok with me if you want to think that instead of looking it up.

It was also known as a MP3 and MP4,and before the full-auto ban you could actually buy one at a semi-reasonable price. You can still buy one if you can find a museum or collector that is willing to sell the one they have,but it will cost roughly a gazillion bucks. Some were captured by the US Army and found there way to the US,but most were seized by the Russians,and Russians being Russians,they are probably still in boxes in some warehouses in Siberia under armed guards,and will be for the next thousand years or so.

BTW,more than a few found their way to VN during the early days as both the Soviets and the US were arming THEIR VN allies with surplus weapons.

I suspect we're talking about two different things.
