…Decades ago the NRA was a gun safety organization for hunters. Over time they have morphed into a gun manufacturing lobby that has tremendous influence over many in congress, and the white house.
For a long time the NRA agenda has been to sell guns. Now it seems the NRA message is to encourage Americans to use guns against dissenting opinion.
ever consider what’s happening is a massive psy-op, where various interests align?
[quote] Remington’s Bankruptcy May Be the Tip of the Iceberg
Firearms companies face declining sales, falling stock prices and tremendous debt. Gunmaker American Outdoor Brands Corp., formerly known as Smith & Wesson, has seen its stock plummet by almost half from 2017. On Monday, Remington Outdoor Co., an iconic, 200-year-old American firearms manufacturer, announced it’s planning to file for bankruptcy.
in other words, its just geo-political **cough** (“FSB” the initials might have changed from KGB, but its the same mindset/players) “mind games” that corporate gun companies need to boost sales
FWIW on friday was invited to lunch (figured I did have to grab a bite to eat and the food was free) so I went,… turns out it was a get to know a candidate for the 49th (to get feed back, etc.)
anyway one topic discussed is external political influence (where machines don’t have to hacked because the voters/media minds have been hacked long before the actual election day)
PS I don’t live in the 49th district so don’t have a dog in that political fight so to speak,… having said that did find it refreshing that she mentioned that USA has “no cyber doctrine” and that she is very, vary, vary interested in the topic (given qualcomm “tech” background, its actually not too surprising)
along those lines one thing I brought up in a discussion is what happens if a nation-state were to hack SWIFT
