"SNIP.....

National Rifle Association president Carolyn Meadows told the Marietta Daily Journal that Rep. Lucy McBath (D-GA) only won her seat in 2018 because she’s black.

Said Meadows: “It is wrong to say like McBath said, that the reason she won was because of her anti-gun stance. That didn’t have anything to do with it — it had to do with being a minority female.”

McBath unseated Rep. Karen Handel (R-GA) on an anti-gun violence platform based on her backstory: Her son was shot and killed in 2012 after a loudness complaint.

It's just terrible how white men can't catch a break. I know! Why don't you run against Rep. McBath in 2020? Show us all how it's done?

I think she's NRA president because she's the only one who would do it.

Come on, be real: if Oliver North, who's a hero to a lot of the NRA membership, got run off in a civil war, what chance does anyone else have?
