Father of Parkland victim slams NRA videos:
"If this was put out by a terrorist organization, we would be raising the terror threat level in this country. Why are we letting this lobby have anything to do with DC? I don't understand it!" https://t.co/9eh7udBMsx pic.twitter.com/FZeTqvTRmK

“They use their #MSM to assassinate real news…They use their movie stars and singers and comedy shows and awards shows to repeat their narrative over and over again…All to make them march. Make them protest. Make them scream racism and sexism and xenophobia” @DLoesch #Oscars90 pic.twitter.com/yODCIfPfA4

From the Washington Post:
… As a culture warrior that has mastered the art of advancing its interests through brutal rhetoric and intense tribalism, the NRA, like President Trump, has become a master of gaining and maintaining power with the fervent support of an engaged minority…
Former NRA executive vice president Warren Cassidy liked to explain that his organization was different from other interest groups: “You’d get a far better understanding” of the NRA, he once told The Washington Post, “if you just approach us as if [we are] one of the world’s great religions.”
For years, the group posted a slogan at the convention booths where it sold insurance policies: “Share the Belief.”
If there was any doubt that the NRA is a terrorist organization, their spokesman is now openly threatening Americans.
If Dana Loesch was a Muslim who addressed America with "your time is running out," we'd be bombing a Middle Eastern country in retaliation by now. https://t.co/RQR0uYNyWT

But remember folks, their main focus is responsible gun owners… that think culture wars are something you buy extra bullets for.

Hey, kids—the House and Senate aren’t going to do anything about guns. Neither is the president, a morally vacant boob who will say anything. We have to do it ourselves. Get as many NRA sweethearts as possible out in November. We can do this.

"To every spokeswoman with an hourglass who uses free speech to alter and undermine what our flag represents…Your Time is running out. The clock starts now."
