But I believe that this is nothing more than an ad campaign to fill up their coffers for the mid-terms, where they will pour millions into electing pro-gun candidates.

Or maybe they're building up their legal defense fund when the subpoenas come out to hold them accountable for their pro-Putin behavior.
