NRA Takes Aim At March For Our Lives' Rally, Mocks Gun Violence Survivors

“Gun-hating billionaires and Hollywood elites are manipulating and exploiting children,” the gun group said of the Saturday march.

By Dominique Mosbergen

As hundreds of thousands of protesters prepared to gather in Washington and other cities across the U.S. on Saturday to demand meaningful gun reform, the National Rifle Association took to social media to mock the “March For Our Lives” event and the young gun violence survivors who spearheaded it.

The group posted a membership-drive video to Facebook with a scathing caption about the looming protest marches on Saturday morning.

“Today’s protests aren’t spontaneous,” the post declared. “Gun-hating billionaires and Hollywood elites are manipulating and exploiting children as part of their plan to DESTROY the Second Amendment and strip us of our right to defend ourselves and our loved ones.”

Join the NRA, the group added, to “stand and fight for our kids’ safety.”

our new congress should investigate the NRA and find them guilty of terrorism.
And may be even treason by promoting White Supremacist Nationalism.
How about "Testilying" that we want to get rid of the 2nd Amendment, which is WRONG.
Just what the SCOTUS has upheld 4 times on weapons of war.

They can find out how good it feels to be on the right side of history for a change.

Then they can compare in a year or so.

Better still, vote them back into the dark, moldy, bog-house shadows whence they came.

they've totally bombarded chat rooms and message boards with hundreds of anti-everything posts. They're particularly brutal to the March For Our Lives people. They all have pretty much the same talking points, which leads me to believe they were distributed by the NRA "leadership".

Dirty rotten bastards. A vast majority of people in this country want to take one particular type of weapon off the market, and of course they equate that with taking ALL their guns and leaving the totally defenseless against the "deep state". These people are fucking loonies. NONE of them should be allowed to own a gun.
