Activists Demand NRA Pull Recruitment Ad In Their Own



The Black Lives Matter chapter in Los Angeles has a stern demand for the NRA: Take down your “dangerous propaganda videos” now.

Several LA-based civil rights organizations, including Black Lives Matter, co-produced a video published Friday that imitates the NRA’s controversial recruitment video that has outraged gun owners and gun control advocates alike.

“When the NRA issues a public call to their constituents, inciting violence against people who are constitutionally fighting for their lives, we don’t take that lightly,” Funmilola Fagbamila, professor of Pan-African studies at Cal State Los Angeles, says in the response video.

The NRA ad, featuring conservative pundit Dana Loesch of TheBlaze, used footage of various protests and civil unrest seemingly to incite fear in conservatives. In the video, Loesch offers a shocking call to action.
