NRA TV host apologizes for suggesting North Korea should nuke California

Source: The Hill

A host on the National Rifle Association’s (NRA) online “NRA TV” has apologized for suggesting North Korea should launch a nuclear attack on California.

“Let's send a note to North Korea that Sacramento changed its name to Guam!," NRA TV host Grant Stinchfield said in a since-deleted tweet.


Stinchfield was referencing North Korea’s threats earlier this week in which the country said it was considering launching ballistic missiles toward the island of Guam.

Stinchfield told the New York Daily News on Friday that the tweet was “meant as a joke.”

“It was meant as a joke and I regret it,” he told the Daily News. “What’s going on with North Korea is no laughing matter.”

I have an idea: how about no "jokes" allowed while we're in the midst of a self-created national crisis?

No?

Then here's a joke: Knock Knock. (Who's there?) FUCK YOU.

It's supposed to sound benign. But even if they don't break any laws, gun-owners seem to be a bunch of insensitive dickheads.

Just tweet again or make an announcement on how it was just a joke. Trump and his THUGS do this same shit every time a crackpot statement they make goes against them by the public.

...a joke.

...yeah, a joke...just like you, the organization you belong to, the 'man' you helped elect as president, and now, even the country which you and your kind infest otherwise civilized society with your false 'patriotism' and your utter contempt and hatred of anyone or anything that does not promote your narrow agenda of white privilege and power and the return to a dark age of bigotry and racism that you seem to think was this nation's 'glory days'.

...yes, you and your 'president', and your vision for this country, are indeed a joke - a horrible joke that has morphed into a nightmare from which the sane and caring people of this nation are unable to awaken.

From the bottom of my heart, I wish you and those who think like you a hearty FUCK YOU!...and I hope I live long enough to see the last of you assholes sullenly crawling back under the rock you crawled out from under when donald j. trump became resident of the White House.
