Could it be possible that Russia is colluding with the NRA to recruit and use the members as a civilian militia to enforce martial law with the NRA being the controlling body suspending the congress and installing Putin as president of the USA? Am I getting paranoid?

Don't care for the NRA and their white wing membership; but, yeah, that's out there.

Martial law can't be enforced without 100% approval of the states, and with as divided as we are now there's no way that could theoretically happen, let alone use an army of civilian soldiers to enforce it. I'd say take your tin foil hat off for now.

Just wave a Big Mac at them and they would surrender.

(7,638 posts)4. thats out there.. A much simpler explanation is that the NRA was used to funnel russian money
The russians could donate money to the NRA then it was funneled to the PAC of republican members of congress.
The fact Mueller just arrested a russian spy who was deeply involved with the NRA directly connects russia's money to the GOP congress and likely to Trump as well. Its just the beginning of the end for these guys. Future indictments will directly hit people close to Trump now that Mueller has layed the groundwork.

Thanks. I was getting worried there.
