Have you seen the new NRA AD? It's a declaration of war on liberals.

A chilling National Rifle Association ad gaining traction online appears to be 'an open call to violence'

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."

The one-minute ad features footage of protesters and marches overlayed with commentary by the conservative media personality and NRA spokeswoman Dana Loesch.

Loesch describes anti-Trump protests as "madness" and terror that "shut down interstates and airports" and warrant a heavy-handed police response.

Here's the full transcript:

"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."

1. jesus, this is fucking dangerous.. insane !!!!!!!

[workinclasszero]

2. Dog whistle for nazi street thugs

I have said for years that the NRA is a right wing terrorist front.

This kind of anti-american, anti-free speech call to violence against the left by the NRA proves me right!

[Sugar Smack]

23. And, you KNOW trump will give them "tacit" permission

at his rallies. He's trying to build himself an army.

[workinclasszero]

25. Yup

A brownshirt army.

[Docreed2003]

3. W...T....F.....

I suppose this is the natural evolution of that movement...this is some scary shit. I own guns, I use them responsibly, I keep them in a safe that can only be accessed by myself, but this shit is just pure, unadulterated, propaganda bullshit intended to incite violence. Every reasonable gun owner...hell, every reasonable American should be disavowing this insanity.

[Hong Kong Cavalier]

4. Just a few words short of calling them "cockroaches"

And a call to "cut down the tall trees".

[jmowreader]

5. Free speech has limits

And Dana will find that out when someone takes her up on her call to start shooting liberals, and the family of the person who her words got killed is awarded her house in the subsequent lawsuit.

[tritsofme]

33. Nonsense propaganda like this is still protected speech.

[Scoopster]

6. Report this video for inciting domestic terrorism. n/t

[berni_mccoy]

18. Done. Others should too. It's blatant. "Only resort is clenched fist..."

[Duppers]

36. REPORTED. Easy to do.

Folks, you know how to report videos?
Do it, please. We can take this down.

[nolabear]

7. "Freedom's Safest Place" on YouTube is full of such horrors.

Don't go there if you have high blood pressure.

[lunasun]

8. They want us all dead & if you thought it was just us POC& lgbts ah nope

Who is the shill? Glad to say I don't know who she is

[hurple]

9. The NRA is a terrorist organization

Time for them to be labelled such, and treated accordingly.

[Mosby]

10. There is a bright side to this - they outed themselves as a republican group

They could lose their tax exempt status.

[C_U_L8R]

11. When you're the "dumb" party

you might want to be careful who you go picking fights with.
Just saying, NRA.

[BSdetect]

12. Its all classic fascist propaganda.

[DBoon]

17. We are in full Weimar mode

Nt

[workinclasszero]

32. Our Reichstag fire incident

can't be far off now.


Reichstag fire

[HAB911]

13. No DU barrel strokers comments today?

Link to tweet

They intend to kill Americans. They SAID so.

[Liberal In Texas]

14. Incitement to violence.

Pure and simple.

[spanone]

15. who is that nasty-assed lady....fuck you ma'am. why don't you just leave and start your own country

FUCK THE NRA

[dalton99a]

39. Dana Loesch

former Breitbart editor

[spanone]

40. ugh

[hack89]

16. Good thing there are plenty of gun owning Dems.

I think they are in for a big surprise.

[KT2000]

19. frightening

this is meant to incite violence and some will follow. I guess this will be played out until it ends in total chaos. That is what they want.

[Permanut]

20. She probably just forgot to mention..

that the NRA represents only 7% of gun owners. Not minimizing the potential impact of this terrorist group; they have plenty of members to cause major violence. They always imply, though, that they represent the majority of gun owners.

[FiveGoodMen]

21. We probably SHOULD be preparing for war against these motherfuckers

There's no chance at all that they will settle down and be reasonable.

[Cha]

22. Oh they would love to sell more guns..

assholes.

[Blue_Tires]

24. American ISIS, plain and simple...

[jpak]

26. I got yer safe space lady

[emulatorloo]

27. Yelling fire in a crowded theater.

Threatening "second amendment remedies" against people they disagree with.

Dunno how the gun lobby gets away with this, seems like they've gone too far.

[haele]

28. All it takes is one paraniod a-hole to terrorize and kill hundreds in an instant.

Doesn't matter if *anyone* in the crowd is armed or not. All s/he needs is surprise and five minutes of panicked crowd movement to obscure what's happening to anyone who might want to "defend" anything.

Pulse Nightclub showed us it can happen here. And the NRA wants open war on Liberals or anyone who can threaten their lobbyist pocketbooks or looks sideways at the bullies and cowards they profit off of. Social Chaos makes armament manufactures very, very wealthy indeed.

Haele

[Alea]

29. Fight lies with truth... who knew

I don't support the NRA but I also don't see a call to violence. Even the whole sentence, fight the violence of lies with the clenched fist of truth. Still basically says fight lies with truth.

Are you afraid nutjobs will see it differently?

[smirkymonkey]

30. Stochastic terrorism.

"Using language and other forms of communication to incite random acts of violence that are "statistically predictable but individually unpredictable." It’s not a legal term, but it can help us understand just how dangerous Trump’s statements are:

Let's break that down in the context of what Trump said. Predicting any one particular individual following his call to use violence against Clinton or her judges is statistically impossible. But we can predict that there could be a presently unknown lone wolf who hears his call and takes action in the future.

Stated differently: Trump puts out the dog whistle knowing that some dog will hear it, even though he doesn't know which dog."

This is basically what the NRA is doing here. They are putting out the dog whistle and some dog, perhaps many will hear it and act. People are going to die because of this. I guarantee it.

[BarbaRosa]

31. I've mentioned this before,

this sounds like just the tact the nra would take.

The 'They're coming to take your guns, so you had better arm yourself before guns are illegal.' meme has reached it's due date.

So now it's 'protect yourself from the out of control vicious liberals who are out to get any trump* supporters.'

[hunter]

34. I've got an aluminum softball bat, NRA dear.

And if things ever go entirely to hell, I'm pretty talented with guns too. I've eaten game I've shot. Didn't like it much, which is why I'm now mostly vegetarian, but I'll own it.

Your radical left wing environmentalist nightmare.

Lucky for you, I'll whip out my camera first and post your bullshit on the internet to mock.

In witness.

Learned that when my Catholic pacifist mom was a Jehovah's Witness, and then we were Quaker. I would have been Conscientious Objector had the Vietnam war continued. We were living in Europe at the time, just in case, I suspect... the war ended, we came home.

I'm born of a long line of Christian pacifists, that's how a many of my ancestors ended up in the U.S.A. Wild West wilderness. Pacifists by necessity, not by any natural inclination. The Berserker genes are strong. I've got a knife scar on my arm. That guy lost, even though I was unarmed and not looking for a fight, just trying to deescalate a situation not of my making. (But I am not an innocent person, I've had my moments being the belligerent asshole.)

One of my grandfathers refused to take up arms in World War II. He probably did some damage to Axis powers building and repairing ships for the Merchant Marine. He wouldn't touch guns.

My other grandpa, you don't even want to know, he was fucking Doogie Howser Starship Troopers Army Air Force officer. He only wanted to fly, like Jimmy Stewart but the Army Air Force had other plans for him. He retired from the Air Force when the war was over, and then again as an Apollo Project engineer. Bits of metal my grandpa made are on the moon and in the Smithsonian. He never said how he became a wizard of exotic metals, and he never talked about the war.

My dad, and my wife's dad, were Radar O'Reily types. My wife's dad got to see a nuclear explosion up close from a hole in the ground in the Nevada Desert, marching to ground zero while stuff was still burning. The radioactive fallout didn't kill him, but many of his comrades were not so lucky.

[Generic Brad]

35. Aren't they also funded by Putin?

The NRA has become an Anti-American organization. They are not pro-gun rights. They are anti-democracy.

[Nevernose]

37. These people are just so fucking AFRAID all the time

Of everything, all the time. They've apparently got no other emotion. Even the stuff they claim to value -- e.g. "tradition" -- is really just a fear of losing whatever that particular tradition actually means to them.

[UTUSN]

38. Yip, the hypocrite "decried" on her radio circus that she was the subject of news, then played her

NRA ad multiple times and yammered on about how horrible Leftists were targeting her. She is in the worst circle of hatefulness, yet she appears on respectable venues like with Anderson COOPER and "behaves" as though she is an objective commentator.

[ConnorMarc]

41. She's Physically Getting Uglier

Not to mention politically.
And her career seems to be swirling around the drain as well.
