Noem: The media would have us believe that the NRA is only made up of old white guys.. But there are a lot of other people. A lot of diversity in the NRA…

It looks like the NRA used one of Jon McNaughton's paintings to guesstimate 45's measurements.

Watching a child at the NRA’s annual meeting pointing a gun at someone while his finger is on the trigger is the most on-brand shit ever.

I wonder what the reaction would be if a black child was photographed doing the exact same thing.

A "good guy with a gun" would have filled such a terrorist with holes that he would need to reload a few times even with his extended magazines.

I was actually thinking about making a downtown deli run this weekend before I realized the nutter convention was in town. I didn't want to be anywhere close to that mess. It would have been fun to see Pence get booed but I'm sure he got booed for not being nutty enough for that crowd.

The nuts will tell you that you are overreacting, because there's an electrician's tie threaded through it.

But the point to be made back is, I don't care if there's an electrician's tie threaded through it, your child should have been taught to NEVER, EVER put a finger on a trigger until the person holding the gun is READY TO SHOOT THE GUN AND MEANS TO HIT A TARGET.

IT'S A TODDLER WITH A HANDGUN!!!

That's the problem. Why do you take a 6 year old to a gun show to begin with?

Eh, I went to gun shows as a kid, that part I have no problem with. But I had a very strict 'no touching!' rule, so that bit bothers me.

I don't think I knew about this case. I mean, I'd think usually if there's a case of CEO malfeasance, the org would bring charges. But my feelings aren't hurt. Nice little article on the background of this case. https://www.courthousenews.com/nra-face ... ts-future/
The NRA already unsuccessfully tried to declare bankruptcy in New York and move to Texas in an apparent bid to dodge James’ lawsuit and interrupt her investigation. In 2021, a federal judge dismissed the bankruptcy case and found the organization’s request was made in bad faith.

Notably, James seeks to remove LaPierre as CEO. Depending on the outcome, the NRA could also face a number of financial penalties and could see a number of other executives replaced.
