NRA Pres. Oliver North: Gun Control Proponents Engaging in Civil Terrorism Not Seen Since Days of Jim Crowby Jon Street | 1:56 pm, May 12th, 2018
Newly-named NRA president Oliver North suggested this week that gun control activists are engaging in civil terrorism and compared the push for gun control to the days of Jim Crow.
North made the comparison during an exclusive interview with the Washington Times. The statement came not long after gun control activists showed up outside of an NRA executives house in Virginia and splashed fake blood on it.
They call them activists. Thats what theyre calling themselves, North told the Times. Theyre not activists this is civil terrorism. This is the kind of thing thats never been seen against a civil rights organization in America, North added. The new NRA president cited former Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens recently suggesting a repeal of the Second Amendment.
You go back to the terrible days of Jim Crow and those kinds of things even there you didnt have this kind of thing. We didnt have the cyberwar kind of thing that weve got today, North said.
North added, They can do all the cyberwar against us theyre doing it. They can use the media against us they are. Theyve gone after our bank accounts, our finances, our donors, and obviously individual members.
Its got to stop. Thats why the leadership invited me to become the next president of the NRA, North told the Washington Times.
