       Hard to find any #NRA tax return  data that's recent. Almost all are over a decade old.The 990 forms from 2013 indicated about 70% of their money comes from membership dues and individuals' donations. About 5% comes from gun manufacturers. The rest comes from sales & ads, etc.Again, the #Russians would get NO STRATEGIC RETURN from funding the NRA.And unlike the Chinese, Putin has no money to waste.

       @ModelUki2 Contacts between NRA and Russian agents are reasonably well documented at this point. Denying that makes little sense.Russia has a strong history of supporting any disruptive elements in the societies of countries it views as adversaries. Anti-nuclear-energy, anti-GMO, anti-vaccine activists have all been supported by the USSR or Russian intelligence services.NRA is very much a disruptive group. Its current leadership is pushing narratives of unrest and even civil war.

       @publius Closest thing to an NRA-Russia connection was in Senator Ron Wyden's report that the NRA invited 3 Russians to the "National Prayer Breakfast" 7 years agoPretty feeble connection
