Have you seen their videos glorifying violence against political enemies? Here’s a writeup of one of them: time.com/4841051/gun-ow…. Also why do they lobby for legalizing armor piercing bullets (known as “cop killers” and silencers? washingtonpost.com/opinions/the-n…
You call them a civil rights organization? Why did they used to be for laws barring public displays of firearms when it was Black Panthers carrying? theweek.com/articles/58292…
...and now they bully or buy politicians into expanding open carry everywhere, so gun fetishists can menace people in restaurants and on the street like warlords??
Why do they lobby for laws making it easier to shoot people and get away with it, like Stand Your Ground? Why do they push for guns in church, on school grounds and campuses, in churches and even in BARS? What constitutional principle is served by mixing guns and liquor?
Why do they now want to turn America into a giant armed encampment, where kids can’t even go to school without fear, and where any troubled high schooler’s easiest option is copping an AR-15 and spraying the school like it’s a war zone?
What “right” do you have to carry what’s barely less than a machine gun into a middle school? Please, explain the deep constitutional principle behind that.
