   Do you you think the NRA or any other organization in the U.S. should accept campaign funding from Russia?

      Don't some other PAC's accept Russian money for operating ? Or are you simply as biased against the NRA as many on the left .  The NRA is a PAC.

         As I said, "or any other organization". I don't know if other PACs are accepting Russian money.
         
         What we do know is that the FBI is investigating the NRA.
         
         I answered your question. What is your answer to mine?

      Hello promisem, I think the answer is clearly no. And it appears our election laws also say no.
      
      But, that "no" applies across the board - all parties and all candidates. If it can be proven the NRA violated those laws, shoot 'em, (metaphorically speaking of course), and when that box is opened, all PACs should be equally examined.

      No more than Chinese businessmen should be allowed to donate to Bill Clinton's campaign.

      Or the Royal Family of Saudi Arabia should be allowed to donate tens of millions to the Clintons.

         The first link is about an accused businessman. Although nothing came of the accusation, and my question is about foreign governments, I agree that foreign individuals shouldn't make contributions.
         
         The second link is about a contribution to a charity, which is not illegal.

   Putin encourage American to keep their guns because the threat of tyranny from the US Government.
   
   Fine tactic, better to shoot themselves than a Russian. If they gave any funding to NRA, that is serious deadly business.

   I don't think any foreign government or special interest group should be allowed to contribute any sum of money to any fund for lobbying. Or,any foreign individual.

   Answer , Absolutely Not !   No foreign entity whatsoever should be able to contribute to any political entity inside of US borders, whether that be a political candidate , office , or PAC  !
   
   Problem though is the possibility or probability of otherwise " laundered contributions ".
