Frame the NRA as supporters of domestic terrorism

If you repeat something enough, people will start slowly warming up to it at a subconscious level no matter how much they disagree with it. For example, we all seem to be ok with the phrase "tax relief" nowadays as if all taxes are some sort of affliction -- thank Republican think tanks for that one. Or the pleasant-sounding "climate change" instead of the scarier "global warming." Or "pro-life." The list goes on. See George Lakoff's writings for more on this phenomenon.

Just as Republicans have successfully reframed issues over the years using carefully selected words and phrases, we must use the same strategy and associate the NRA with domestic terrorism.

Whenever you say or write NRA, follow it up with "supporter of domestic terrorism," and repeat it as often as you can.
