The NRA Calls For Nancy Pelosi And Gabby Giffords To Be Shot






The NRA is trying to incite violence against Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and former Rep. Gabby Giffords who almost lost her life in a mass shooting.

The NRA Is Trying To Get Nancy Pelosi Shot


The NRA referred to Pelosi and Giffords as “target practice:”

There is no other way to interpret the phrase target practice. The NRA was calling for violence against the most powerful woman in the United States. The NRA is an extremist organization that blocks efforts to curb gun violence because they are not an organization that represents the interests of responsible gun owners. The NRA is the powerful gun lobbying arm of gun manufacturers.

Every position that the NRA takes is designed with the intention of boosting profit for gun makers.

Pelosi and Giffords represent a threat to their profits, which is why the NRA has taken a violent posture.

I have no issue with gun owners having an organization to promote shooting sports, but the NRA has drifted far from that.

What better way for Putin to have assassins in America than to "trigger" them right here?
