The NRA is America's Biggest Domestic Terrorist Organization.

To see this all you have to do is look at everything that led up to Nikolas Cruz.

- The NRA taught him marksmanship.

- The NRA fights to fill America's streets with deadly firearms, even if those firearms have no other purpose than to shoot human beings en masse with a rapid rate of fire.

- The NRA advocated that Cruz had the deadliest military-style weapons available to him.

- The NRA lobbied that people like Cruz could be armed in spite of having mental illness.

- The NRA inspires the enemies of sensible gun reform to attack gun violence victims with threats of gun violence, lies and hatred.

- The NRA holds an entire major political party in its pocket.

- The NRA ha distorted the meaning of our own Constitution in order to enrich itself, a price paid for in the blood of American citizens.

Because of the NRA, the 2nd Amendment has become a blank check for American domestic terrorism and a suicide pact at the same time.

If we ever want to save ourselves from gun-induced madness, the first step should be to rid ourselves of these domestic terrorists.

Otherwise, any of us are just another gun violence tragedy waiting to happen.

The only privately commercial product "enshrined" in the 'US Constitution' and the 'Bill of Rights.'

And the gun industry bribes politicians to keep it so.
