NRA Threats Are Terrorism

[donquixote99]

Watch this short video: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/nra-video-threatens-journalists-gun-laws-us-florida-shooting-twitter-dana-loesch-a8240341.html

(Following this link to a British media site will not result in you being targeted by the originators for more such messages.)

While it avoids being explicit enough to get production participants immediately arrested, the video clearly threatens violence against media which the NRA chooses to target with slanderous insults, including named and prominent personalities.

In other words, the supposedly-patriotic NRA is now threatening American citizens whose free speech the NRA does not like.

I think the only possible conclusion is that the NRA does intend to incite violence, just as similarly strident propaganda was used to incite violence in, for example, Rwanda. Accordingly, the NRA should now be regarded as a terrorist organization.

Agreed, that they should be considered a domestic terrorist organization.
And there is this from this morning and we should all be very much afraid for these kids from Parkland school who are campaigning for stronger gun control.

The Parkland shooting survivors are children. Remember that when they go viral.
These students have channeled a personal hell into one of the most potent online forces since @realDonaldTrump. Never before have survivors of gun violence stayed on the national agenda for so long.

But it’s easy to forget they’re children, waging battle in some of the nastiest corners of the Internet even while they process a trauma. That's what makes them so effective — and also especially vulnerable.

And this girl Chadwick tweeted some choice words to Trump which went viral but is now has been taken off probably for her own sake.

I saw the video on the news. It felt threatening to hear it along with the dramatics of setting and lighting and that sort of thing.

She seemed a bit too crazed to be allowed to own a gun.

Kind liken to yelling fire in a theater, someone may get hurt.

No, the link I wanted didn't take.
That one was for the Billy Graham amp thread in AK.

That NRA ad is not terrorism, although I realize the paranoid live in terror.

Interesting graphic originally from Wikipedia. Stages of Genocide. NRA is now acting out at stage 5.

Another good reason to become a gun owner.

[donquixote99]

I think the best way to survive civil unrest, riot, pogroms, ethnic cleansing, riots, civil war, famine, genocide, etc, is to be somewhere else when it happens. Gun ownership may be helpful in isolated cases, but will generally fail to assure safety.

Although owning a gun would remove the NRA genocide target. :cool:

Extortion and intimidation is terrorism.

[nailer]

Unlawful intimidation is indeed terrorism, but the NRA ad in question isn't unlawful.

Unethical, yes. Unlawful, no.

This NRA death threat rhetoric marks them as a hate group, and 'dangerous to our democracy.'

[finnbow]

“Don’t ask why. Just know that evil, dishonesty, and scam artists have always been around and that right now they’re liberal, they’re Democrat, they’re RINOs, they’re Hollywood, they’re fake news, they’re media, they’re academia, and they’re half of our government, at least. So come to that realization. There are rabid coyotes running around. You don’t wait till you see one to go get your gun. Keep your gun handy, and every time you see one, you shoot one.”

Hate speech. Dehumanizes, advocates violence.

And he's on the NRA's Board.:eek: Classy bunch.

[Pio1980]

Gun owning households are a statistical minority. Try to imagine what this is making the majority of voters think of the NRA and the 2nd amendment religionists.

Whell’s neighborhood.
