The gun lobby's new "recruitment ad" is really a call for white supremacy and armed insurrection, deliberately crafted to stir anger and fear.

BY BILL MOYERS AND MICHAEL WINSHIP | JUNE 29, 2017

Take a look at the ad below and ask whether the National Rifle Association can go any lower. Ponder this flagrant call for violence, this insidious advocacy of hate delivered with a sneer, this threat of civil war, this despicable use of propaganda to arouse rebellion against the rule of law and the ideals of democracy.

On the surface this is a recruitment video for the National Rifle Association. But what you are really about to see is a call for white supremacy and armed insurrection, each word and image deliberately chosen to stir the feral instincts of troubled souls who lash out in anger and fear:

--

Disgusting. Dishonorable. Dangerous. But also deliberate. Everything deplored by the NRA in the ad is committed by “they” — a classic manipulation turning anyone who disagrees with your point of view into “The Other” — something alien, evil, foreign.

“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.”

1. My favorite part

"And then they use their ex-president to endorse the resistance."

The organization that believes the Second Amendment exists to facilitate resistance to the government is now whining that some other folks are also contemplating "resistance".

2. I this is the path NRA is taking, they need to be observed as a terrorist group.

3. Absolutely

Easily the most disturbing political add I ever seen.

4. They have always been a terrorist group...

Enablers of people like Bundy and the right wing militia all the way.

6. It's part of their membership drive. The majority of gun fanciers are white wing racists.
