Parkland Dad Has Pointed Message For Oliver North, NRA's New President

Parkland Dad Has Pointed Message For Oliver North, NRA’s New President

“We’re not criminal civil terrorists,” Fred Guttenberg responded to North. “We’re people with a broken heart.”


“The NRA and people like Oliver North, to them, it’s a job,” Guttenberg said as he discussed the gun control debate spurred by the shooting. “They could retire and go on with their life. I can’t, because my daughter isn’t here.”

Guttenberg’s daughter, Jaime, was among the 17 people killed in the February massacre.

North, named the NRA’s new president last Monday, told the conservative newspaper The Washington Times that the gun group had become the victim of “civil terrorism.”

He has zero right to call anyone else a terrorist, and he can go fuck himself.

You really have to let that sink in: He called those civil terrorists who want to do something against the indiscriminate, senseless killing of civilians, which is a crucial part of terrorism...it just gives you headaches.

Ollie North is a terrorist supporter and a traitor to his country. That's all that needs to be said.
