What about their TV channel? [0]
"Since its creation in 2016, it has adopted an increasingly apocalyptic, hard-right tone, warning of race wars, describing Barack Obama as a “fresh-faced flower-child president,” calling for a march on the Federal Bureau of Investigation and comparing journalists to rodents."
"Chuck Holton, an NRATV correspondent, attributed terrorist activity in Europe to “the broader problem of multiculturalism and socialism” and to “gender-bending.” He also claimed that left-wing groups, the billionaire George Soros and the Venezuelan government were trying “to influence the 2018 midterms by sending Honduran migrants north in the thousands.”

- briantakita 7y agoWow. That's awful. Speech like that is terrorism because it's violent. Dave Chappelle is a terrorist too because he makes violent jokes that hurts my feelings.
- Jonnax 7y ago"How terrible of them to spread the insidious ideology of gun safety by training RSOs and gun safety instructors" This is the comment I replied to. Clearly they espouse different ideologies to simply gun safety. You're the one putting words into my mouth. Of course if anyone tries to bring up the topic of radicalisation I'm sure you'd deflect in a similar way.
- nailer 7y agoI don't think the parent is deflecting. They're simply trying to imagine by what means the NRA could be considered a terrorist organisation. Arming people that could potentially hurt others is not the same thing as targeting attacks on civilians for political change. If you have any ideas you're welcome to contribute them.
