Anti-NRA billboard riling up the gunsters in Pensacola

On Twitter, the NRA folks are calling the billboard bullying and terrorism. Ironic that 2nd-Amendment defenders are complaining about people exercising their First Amendment rights.

(btw I just donated to MadDogPac to fund more billboards)

The same anti-Republican political action committee responsible for a billboard that targeted Matt Gaetz in January has paid for a second billboard in Pensacola, this time taking aim at the NRA.

The new sign on North W Street near West Fairfield Drive was paid for by Mad Dog PAC, an organization registered in December 2017 by Claude Taylor, a former White House staffer under Bill Clinton's administration.

The billboard reads: "The NRA is a terrorist organization."

Mad Dog PAC's billboard campaign is intended to target House Republicans ahead of the 2018 midterm elections

I got hold of a business-reply (postage paid by addressee) envelope from The Second Amendment Foundation (an arm of the NRA). Think I will use it to send them my thoughts and prayers!

A different gun pervert started it. It's main goal is to bring law suits against people who they think might limit the pleasure of their guns. The NRA almost always joins in these suits.

I bet a lot of traitorous anti-American Russian money goes to them too. Putin likes what they do. And yet Putin wont allow Russians to so freely get off on guns.

It's pretty clear the billboard has had its intended, hilarious effect. Bravo, Mad Dog PAC.

It's no surprise that a billboard calling out the NRA would receive backlash. As a rule, they tend to get their backs up when faced with facts about their actions.

If scumbags like Wayne LaPierre and Ted Nugent aren't considered to be world-class bullies, then who the hell is, in this country?

against civilians, in pursuit of a political agenda.

So while mass shooters escape the terrorist label for the white skin loophole, the NRA should not because they are political.

and living in Mobile, AL, I know something about this. The most surprising thing about this story is that the deplorables haven't found out the sign company and burned it to the ground in retribution for telling the truth.


* I originally typed "more racist cities" but I was afraid that some wouldn't associate it with the story. AFAIC, racism and gunsters go hand in hand.

No other place in Florida could be as RED!

Whoever paid for that billboard is a genius.
