The NRA has become the armed insurgency wing of the Republican party. [View all]

It should no longer be viewed as merely a lobbying group or a representative of American voices.

It is supported by self-proclaimed would-be assassins. It uses violent rhetoric as intimidation. It sends out political hit squads for public leaders who do not fall in line.

The National Rifle Association is a clear and present danger to all Americans.

They profit off the proliferation of violence, death and suffering.

The only option we have now is to push back socially and legally until this insurgency is extinguished for good.
