Thats a FACT.

Oddly enough unlike most things where people get it wrong, I kind of understand this one more. It seems like human nature to try and forget the driving politic behind attacks barring the most recent ones.

Apparently, the right-wingers are not psychos in your alternative universe. But here in the real world, we have Dylan Wolff, Pizzagate, the Oregon train killer, abortion clinic killer, black churches bomber, etc. etc. The right-wing had definitely stepped up their violence.

I guess you deserve to be damned!
National Rifle Association ad appears to be 'an open call to violence' - Business Insider

Read the first paragraph. Or do you like to blindly accuse people of things without reading?

A National Rifle Association ad that has gained traction on social media this month urges Americans to join "freedom's safest place" as protesters and members of the "resistance" movement who oppose Donald Trump's presidency "smash windows, burn cars," and "terrorize the law-abiding."


So...who the hell is talking about Roof (which happened years ago) or Timothy McVeigh (seriously....from 1995? who bombed a building and has nothing to do with guns...wtf) have to do with people who oppose Trump's presidency?

Jesus, it's like you enjoy making yourself look like a complete moron.

LMAO@ NRA. According to the Trumpers; the left is just a bunch of cucked wimps, yet the right needs their guns to defend themselves from said wimps!! NRA is a just a bunch Of cowards that can't fight, but think they are badazz cause they carry. NRS= Neurotic Reactionary A-holes. Just as cowardly as the antifas.

Huh ...the Left called for violence as soon as it was announced Trump won the election last November. Does the "Resist" movement ring a bell? How about Berkeley? All over the U.S., the Left has been fomenting hate and violence.

Right wingers by in large don't act like this, so I wouldn't expect much to come of it. This person is a moron. I say this as a centrist and gun supporter. Unlike people on the left, I will criticize my own. As others have pointed out, the vast majority of gun deaths in this country are committed by people who vote democrat in elections anyways. Maybe we should pass a law saying democrats can't own firearms?

"They use their media to assassinate real news. They use their schools to teach children that their president is another Hitler. They use their movie stars and singers and comedy shows and award shows to repeat their narrative over and over again. And then they use their ex-president to endorse the resistance.

"All to make them march, make them protest, make them scream racism and sexism and xenophobia and homophobia. To smash windows, burn cars, shut down interstates and airports, bully and terrorize the law-abiding — until the only option left is for the police to do their jobs and stop the madness.

"And when that happens, they'll use it as an excuse for their outrage. The only way we stop this, the only way we save our country and our freedom, is to fight this violence of lies with the clenched fist of truth. I'm the National Rifle Association of America, and I'm freedom's safest place."


leftists left gibbering and bleating in fear of the 'clenched fist of truth'?

The liberals have an open invitation for right-wingers to enter reality for decades now.

They chose to stay in their alternate universe.

Whether or not it is an actual call to violence is debatable. Where they are correct is in that violence is coming, and from both sides, the odds are that it will escalate since the extremists on both sides are getting themselves ready to openly instigate violence and seem bent on a shooting war. So, whether you are right or left I would suggest that you ensure your and your family's safety as best you can and the best way to do that is to arm yourself and become proficient in the use of the arms you have. Discuss with you loved ones and friends what they should do or meet if things do go south and keep in mind that it can happen very quickly, at that point it will be too late to prepare for the Storm.
