The National Rifle Association (NRA) is a bit desperate these days. They’ve been taking a ton of Ls of late, what with their old-corrupt-men infighting, and Vice President Wayne LaPierre’s expensive travel habits. Most recently they’ve unveiled their same old racist sensibilities and their open attack on mothers. Mothers who have organized in various ways to try and bring sensible gun safety laws into our country’s public health crisis of firearm homicide. One of those women and mothers fighting for sensible gun laws is Shannon Watts, who began organizing after the tragic events at Sandy hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, on December 14, 2012.
The NRA doesn’t have the kind of moral foundation to really argue much of anything with anybody, let alone mothers of children.
This is a rich bit of business coming from the organization that may be on the brink of losing its hard-to-believe nonprofit tax-exempt status due to dirty money dealings. Not only is the article they are citing incorrect in its assertion that Watts is a “lobbyist,” but, this is the path the NRA wants to take? It’s very possible they believe digging down deeper into the bowels of hell further will make the tide of history change.
Now, that’s a fact. Watts wasn’t the only person to respond to the outright banality of evil spewing out of the NRA’s social media page.
Yup.
Tragically, that sounds about right.
That gif keeps on giffing (had to throw a #dadjoke in there).
Well done.
Exactly.
That’s it. But to be very serious for a moment.
Because … fuck you, NRA.
