The NRA becomes even more of a farce of itself by appointing Oliver North — disgraced Marine Colonel, seller of (illegal) arms to Iran (!), and illegally providing the money to Nicaraguan rebels so that they could buy arms, too.
Sounds like perfect fit for a gun/ammo manufacturer lobbyist group.

Ollie North was named president. That son of a bitch!
He is a one man army !😎
So what? He sold guns to Contras while Ronald Reagan was the US president during the 1980's.
+Evan Zaremba Technically he sold arms to the Iranians, and "just' gave money to the Contras (again, illegally). But, hey, that makes him a her to the NRA, it seems.
Sold arms to Iranians, huh?
Send lawyers, guns, and money…
Isn't it odd how everyone tends to remember Ollie and very few folks remember his partner in crime John Poindexter?
No John Poindexter, no Snowden. Seriously.
+Shava Nerad Huh. Hand't forgotten about him, but North clearly cashed in a lot more on his infamy than Poindexter (sort of the G Gordon Liddy of that particular scandal era).
I'd forgotten that Poindexter was involved in the IAO, however. )
Well, he's a fucking idiot.
