NRA tools blaming AME church victims for their own murders. Chris Kyle was armed

and so was his friend. They were gunned down.

Two policemen were armed in Las Vegas and so was a mall shopper when they were gunned down by Jared Miller and his wife.

Elementary schools get blamed by NRA.
Churches get blamed by NRA.
Elderly prayers and men preaching peace get blamed by NRA.

You know who NEVER gets blamed by the NRA? The people who sell to hate-filled criminals and mentally unstable shooters the guns and ammo and do so without background checks. What do THEY get from NRA? Support.

Call it for the unbelievably tasteless bullshit it is and let it sink.

These assholes don't deserve even our conversation. They're utter trash.

that the pastor is to blame for being against guns in church. Gunshot victims are always blamed for their own deaths when they are unarmed. This isn't the first time.
