NRA Today: Angrier, Uglier, Money-Hungry, Sedition Advocates

They Lost Original Rational Focus 

One of NRA’s Strongest Voices Today

You want a scary worrisome story? Well here it is reported on from the AP vis-à-vis NRA’s new tactics. That is: guns in America and who they more so consider to be their “enemy” and their message: “we are coming for you.” That’s the damn scary part – short introduction below. What is most interesting are the comments at the end of the fine article from now and soon to be former NRA members *my emphasis:

ATLANTA (AP) — The election of President Donald Trump and Republican control of Congress meant the National Rifle Association could probably rest easy that gun laws wouldn’t change for at least four years. But the NRA has begun a campaign not against pending legislation but what it sees as liberal forces bent on undoing the progress it’s made — and the political powerhouse is resorting to language that some believe could incite violence.

Using the hashtags #counterresistance and #clenchedfistoftruth, the NRA has put out a series of videos that announce a “shot across the bow,” and say the gun-rights group is “coming for you” and that “elites … threaten our very survival,” terms that suggest opponents are enemy combatants.

“The times are burning and the media elites have been caught holding the match,” NRA spokeswoman Dana Loesch says in one video aired on NRATV, the gun lobby’s web video site, as it shows footage of people fighting police, breaking storefront glass and burning the American flag.

Later, she specifically calls out The New York Times: “We’ve had it with your narratives, your propaganda, and your fake news. We’ve had it with your constant protection of your Democrat overlords, your refusal to acknowledge any truth that upsets the fragile construct that you believe is real life. And we’ve had it with your tone-deaf assertion that you are in any way truth or fact-based journalism. Consider this the shot across your proverbial bow. … In short? We’re coming for you.”

Continue at the link… worthwhile reading and keeping handy. 

My last word: A democratic congressional candidate in AR wrote this: “If the NRA does not stop their hate campaign, I will call them out on sedition. Sedition is the willful undermining of the legal authority, the Incitement of Violence.”

I agree with that statement, and as I said, damn scary stuff for some on the “edge” of reality – perhaps just a enough to push them over the proverbial edge like we have seen in some many other places with “open carry laws” and guns in our collective face.

Shame on the NRA. I belonged to them but tore up my membership card years ago, and yes, I do support the 2^nd Amendment, just like I do the entire Constitution, but Wayne LaPierre and his gang of thugs are bent on violence to get their way…!!!

BTW “Out of Bounds / Off the Mark” NRA: My right to say that is the 1^st Amendment… something you always seem to always skip over.

Shame on you.

Thanks for stopping by.
