NRA: Trump is victim of most ruthless attack on a president in history

The National Rifle Association (NRA) claims in a new video that President Trump and his supporters are being subjected to the most "ruthless" attack against a U.S. president and his supporters in the history of the country.

The irony is off the charts on this one, this is an actual NRA magazine cover.

Nixon was attacked less deservedly and more ruthlessly. I can't believe I live in a world where I had to say that.

How about Teddy Roosevelt? Former President shot and injured while campaigning for a return to office?

3% of citizens own 50% of the guns in the US. And that is a lot. The NRA has lost its mind. The thing that I find amusing is that home burglars love hitting homes with lots of guns. Almost as good as hitting a place with a lot of pain pills. The gun nuts imagine themselves defending their homes, family and country, but in reality the chance of them happening to have a gun in their had when needed is about nothing. I had a uncle who was a gun nut, his house got robbed (of the guns, nothing else) so his arsenal was out on the streets.

Andrew Jackson.
Abraham Lincoln.

Who might have opinions on the number of heavily armed gun nuts in this country...

I would really like to know how much money , coordination from Putin there has been and for how long for these obscenely bankrolled RW propaganda groups, including the NRA. ALEC and the entire Kochtopus propaganda machine.

Yesterday The Republican Senate passed a budget resolution that essentially destroys our national safety net while gifting the
oligarch political class "freedom" from their heirs paying inheritance tax over a couple's 10 million dollar estate. But with all the NRA promoted carnage and the idiotic chaos generated by Trump everyday, the MSM leaves little attention for RW moving forward policies that are essentially aimed to destroy our democracy and essentially commit mass murder along the way.
