7. NRA Plus AR-15's Continue to Enslave America

Thu Feb 22, 2018, 11:46 PM

Feb 2018

Schools in 21st century America continue to be enslaved by fear brought about by "NRA # Murder Inc". The Second Amendment has been bastardized far beyond its original intent.

I've heard an old Italian saying; "a fish rots from its head to its tail". The NRA (head) is rotten, the rest of the rot through its tail is the GOP and its allies, Fox and right wing hate radio.

To eliminate this deplorable murderous cancer on American safety, the head (NRA) should be attacked, vilified, shamed and removed from the body politics at an unrelenting rate.
