The election of President Donald Trump and Republican control of Congress meant the National Rifle Association could probably rest easy that gun laws wouldn't change for at least four years. But the NRA has begun a campaign not against pending legislation but what it sees as liberal forces bent on undoing the progress it's made — and the political powerhouse is resorting to language that some believe could incite violence.
Using the hashtags #counterresistance and #clenchedfistoftruth, the NRA has put out a series of videos that announce a "shot across the bow," and say the gun-rights group is "coming for you" and that "elites ... threaten our very survival," terms that suggest opponents are enemy combatants.
"The times are burning and the media elites have been caught holding the match," NRA spokeswoman Dana Loesch says in one video (see above) aired on NRATV, the gun lobby's web video site, as it shows footage of people fighting police, breaking storefront glass and burning the American flag.
Later, she specifically calls out The New York Times: "We've had it with your narratives, your propaganda, your fake news. We've had it with your constant protection of your Democrat overlords, your refusal to acknowledge any truth that upsets the fragile construct that you believe is real life. And we've had it with your tone-deaf assertion that you are in any way truth or fact-based journalism," Loesch says. "Consider this the shot across your proverbial bow. ... In short? We're coming for you."
The NRA, of which I used to be a member of because 40 years ago it stood for hunters, gun safety and the environment (it actually did) not mad men like La Pierre (a sell out to the gun industry and a fascist), has become a bastion of insane right wing weapons owners, a group that now threatens, literally, the so-called "media elites" with what it seems to be actual physical harm.
So, now it seems we have a "new" terrorist group in this nation, another one ( KKK/neo-Nazi/white supremacists ) that drapes the American flag over it's shoulders, and explicitly threatens the news media, for simply telling the truth.
In Trump World, shit just keeps getting better and better, each and every day in this country
#MAGA (Impeach)
