the dumb fake news thinks AR means assault rifles...
if you look close, when the cops have an AR it’s a high powered rifle, when a citizen has an AR it’s an assault rifle.... yawn

This is what happens when no one tells you Alex Jones` Infowars is satire.
Every single incident has had someone on some “brain pill” it’s not a coincidence and frankly anyone who dismiss it doesn’t want to face the issue head on.

Remember this...
That was your first contribution to this thread after the Parkland Florida school shooting.
First of all, after re-reading a few of ArtM3 posts I feel like I just woke up out of a coma and a liberal conspiracy theorist has to fill me in on what has happened the past two years without being able to use full sentences.
That said...
Ronkh...Rather than name calling, you spend your time finding unverified & politically charged fake news stories that confirm your biases and prejudices. Truth is, you`d much rather have a debate on the shooters political affiliation than a meaningful policy discussion about gun control.

Sadly having read the last post it appears that it is believed that what happened in Florida is Trump’s fault. I’m no fan of his. That said, he may have inherited the problem and it remains to be seen, what if anything he’ll do about it but he did not cause this problem anymore than you the posters or any other poster in this thread. Adding his list of issues or any other president’s for this matter won’t fix what is going on in this nation with respect to shootings.
@artm3, you take a very wide sweep when you say “you guys have sold your souls and my country”. Which guys? Do you really know the people of whom you write beyond a few posts on a forum? There is no sense making an assumption that broad and don’t make this thread personal. You don’t need to like what someone else says and you certainly don’t need to agree with it but keep the discussion civil. -GH

you may be a citizen but do not sound like an American
who can say if it made a difference?
the russians obviously thought it would, and they are experts at it
why do it then?
get some nazi racist off his but to vote
same for muslim or immigrant haters
20% of the country believes the Holocaust is a lie
9/11 was an inside job
moon landing was hoax
etc
you underestimate the stupidity and fickleness of some people
he only got 45% of the vote
and won the targeted states by a few points
over 20% of the population has an iq < 80
easily swayed sheep
if only 10% were swayed that is a 4% swing
higher than the margin
and that assumes only the morons took the bait
met alot of `smart` who fell for the spell
claims of epstein and trump molesting children
epstein did 2 yrs in a fed pen
from all the stuff out there not hard to believe rump is a perv

did the russian campaign have an effect?
Pompeo made a similar remark last October, saying at a conference in Washington, "The intelligence community`s assessment is that the Russian meddling that took place did not affect the outcome of the election."The CIA later issued a statement appearing to walk back his remarks.
"The intelligence assessment with regard to Russian election meddling has not changed," an agency spokesman told The Washington Post at the time, adding, "the director did not intend to suggest that it had."The U.S. intelligence community has not reached a conclusion on whether Russian meddling actually had any bearing on the election`s outcome."We did not make an assessment of the impact that Russia activities had on the outcome of the 2016 election," an unclassified assessment released last January states. "The US Intelligence Community is charged with monitoring and assessing the intentions, capabilities, and actions of foreign actors; it does not analyze US political processes or US public opinion."

how much spent on ads?

the fact that the russians align with repugs ought to be disturbing
a country run by crime bosses and by a murderer
doing the biding of the repugs attacking dems
repugs = russians?
nra using russian money to endorse trump?
The internet was flooded with rumors and hoaxes in the aftermath of the Parkland, Florida shooting as internet trolls and Russian bots started to push out a false narrative about the suspect’s identity. They fallaciously claimed that he was a member of Antifa, that he was a “Dreamer,” that he had affiliations with ISIS, and, as mentioned, that he was a registered Democrat:

I own firearms, and have done so since I was a child. Bought my first .22 LR, with the help of a wise father at eleven years of age, it was a Sears Ted Williams pump action. I was taught from a very early age how to safely handle and discharge a gun. I see the term gun control thrown around frequently. I recoil every time I hear it because I’m not really sure I know what it is people are thinking. Gun Control means so many things to so many different people, there are extremes on both ends of what gun control means to various groups.
I’m all for background checks and have been through many. The government has anything that they could possibly want regarding my personal information. The FBI has performed intensive background checks on me, my fingerprints are on file. They have personal letters stating my purpose for ownership signed with a local Police Chiefs approval, meaning there was a personal interview with these law enforcement officials. They have my name, my address, my social security number, my passport number. They know how much I make, how much I pay in taxes. They know my parents names, my children’s names, my spouse. They know which firearms I own. Some of these firearms took between 3 and 6 months to obtain permission to own, I’m patient. I don’t take these things to be a burden it’s all part of lawful ownership. I’ve taken the appropriate courses and tests to qualify for a CCP. I’ve qualified at high levels shooting IDPA. Seriously, I don’t know what more info I could give them.
I’ve seen comments on the forum regarding not being able to trust other gun owners. I know the people with which I have shooting connections. I trust them, I trust them implicitly, many of these people are not Ex-Vets, I still trust them and they trust me. Though forum members don’t know me I’ll bet should we have had the opportunity, they too would trust me, perhaps even like me. I own firearms of which the anti-gun crowd would not approve. These firearms are of no concern or consequence to anyone and would never be used to harm anyone or anything beyond a standard paper target. They were all acquired legally. They are properly stored and my family has been trained on how to handle firearms.
I AM NOT THE PROBLEM, my guns are not the problem and when it comes to gun ownership there are tens of millions of people just like me. Don’t give me this garbage about assault weapons and which guns I can own. Any weapon and I mean any weapon, (think screwdriver) used to assault someone is an assault weapon. I’ve stated my opinion before, I don’t believe we need more regulation when it comes to gun ownership. The mentality that puts more restrictions on me frustrates me a great deal. A gun is a tool end of story. It allows me to punch holes in targets several hundred yards away. I like shooting them, I like collecting them, I like cleaning them, I like reloading ammunition for them. Just like we like detailing cars, it’s a hobby. We have enough regulation and had enough laws on the books to likely have stopped this most recent shooting had we enforced these laws. Don’t tell me that gun’s are the cause of the crisis we have in the country right now, I simply don’t believe it.

If the indicted Russians came over in 2014, who allowed it?
Who was in charge in 2014? Who let the Russians in and why?
As an aside, Trump didn`t announce his candidacy til mid 2015.
Minor details...

Yeah, that`s what Obama did after dinner, he personally reviewed visa applications. So...it was the Deep State who "let" the Russians in so they could defeat "their girl"? What a genius strategy!! FWIW Ron, DJT has been running for President, on and off, since 1999 (he won two primaries vying to be the Reform Party candidate), and musing about it since 1988, so 2014 would not be too early...besides he was in Moscow in 2013 for the Miss Universe Pageant...IIRC he claimed to have talked to Putin then, of course he also claimed to have been on 60 Minutes with him and they got along great, even though their segments were filmed on opposite sides of the Atlantic, so who knows what happened in 2013.
EDIT: And besides, there is always the possibility this is how it played out...2014...Russians figure Hillary is going to be the Dem nominee, they don`t want her, so they plan to interfere with the election, not knowing who else is going to be running or successful, at that time...as time goes on they decide they like Trump, and they decide they would rather have him or Bernie...isn`t it also possible that if they had gotten Bernie to beat Hillary in the primaries, that they might have backed him in the general?
You know sometimes I decide I`m going to polish and wax my car, but I don`t decide which wax I`m going to use until after I`m done polishing...I`m not sure how the Russians deciding to meddle or try to defeat a certain candidate precludes them from deciding later which candidate they want to win.
