who announced state ammo limit bill.

Just four days before the fifth anniversary of the shooting of Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, the NRA targeted a pair of Brooklyn lawmakers Monday with a menacing image of bullets next to photos of the two gun control advocates.

America’s 1st Freedom, an NRA publication, tweeted the image of state Sen. Roxanne Persaud and Assemblywoman Jo Anne Simon, both Democrats, weeks after they announced legislation aimed at controlling the sale of ammunition.

The two lawmakers and other local supporters — including Mayor de Blasio and Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams — condemned what came across as a veiled threat.

A National Rifle Association publication showed the organization's opposition to an ammunition limit bill with this tweet Monday morning.

7. Wow. Sounds like someone needs to spend some time in jail.

That's a thinly veiled threat.

10. Appears to be pretty

transparent to me.

[GGJohn]

16. How about this image put out by the Brady gun control org?

19. Let's play compare and contrast: you first

[GGJohn]

21. Let's compare what?

One is just as bad as the other, no matter who the author is.

[Buzz Clik]

22. They are not similar at all.

One of them is an implied threat to a proponent of gun control, the other is an ominous warning that opposing gun control makes our children a target.

I'm surprised you cannot see the difference.

8. I'll be third to approve

and this makes the NRA subject to laws of intimidation of government officials which should land LaPierre in jail.

12. This is suggestive in so many ways...aka, inciting.

Why isn't the NRA receiving a visit from the FBI or some authorities? If a person is caught suggesting/hinting/blatantly demanding someone take someone out on social media, there would be a knock at their door. The NRA knows just how far they can go.

They are a sick lot.

[deathrind]

14. That is horrible.

And every bit as disgusting as the flyers palin's pac sent out with Gabrielle Giffords district in cross hairs.

[etherealtruth]

17. ... and there are a few here that support the NRA

[LanternWaste]

18. I'd love to see their half-witted justifications for doing so...

I'd love to see their half-witted justifications for doing so... just so I have something more stupid than my friend who thinks Joe DeRita was the best of the Three Stooges to giggle at on the way home this evening.

[GGJohn]

23. Joe DeRita?

There is now way he was the best, IMO, Curly Howard was the best of them all.

20. The image...
