A chilling National Rifle Association ad gaining traction online appears to be 'an open call to violence'
Natasha Bertrand
A National Rifle Association ad that has gained traction on social media this month urges Americans to join "freedom's safest place" as protesters and members of the "resistance" movement who oppose Donald Trump's presidency "smash windows, burn cars," and "terrorize the law-abiding."
Loesch describes anti-Trump protests as "madness" and terror that "shut down interstates and airports" and warrant a heavy-handed police response.

Be gunned down in the street like dogs. This message brought to you by the Republican party and its minions.
I never expected any less from the white terrorist front NRA but their boldness in this threatening video is something new.
I'm sure they are emboldened by their low life thug leader Trump and his Russian dictator pal Putin who routinely makes his political opponents turn up dead.

(10,839 posts)on the same video and was afraid I'd be stepping on someone else's post. Sorry, it wasn't intentional.
I certainly agree that this video is absolutely shameless. Dana Loesch should hang her head for lending her voice and face to a inflammatory propaganda piece. The NRA? They seem to be beyond shame. Personally, I think they need to be put out of business. At the very least, they should feel a financial squeeze for going wa-a-ay over the line. There's no place for this BS, which is just a hair's breadth from suggesting anyone who dissents or criticizes Our Dear Leader should be made to pay with a 'patriot's' bullet. Wasn't the Scalise/Republican debacle enough? Apparently not.
Make no mistake, this video is a threat. I do not take kindly to threats. Neither should anyone else.
As a gun owner myself, I would call on other sane, responsible gun owners to call this screed out, tell the NRA and Loesch herself that this does not represent us or the majority of the electorate, all of whom support sensible gun control and reject hate and fear-mongering.
I can't adequately describe how angry this made me. And it takes a lot to get me going. But this did it. Bigly.

(28,270 posts)Everyone on the left needs to see this fascist threat to free speech and the right to assemble.
The NRA is advocating terror and violence against the Resistance with this ad. Be forewarned everyone.
Take steps now to protect yourself and your loved ones, while you still can.
