It has been about gun sales for a number of years. Probably always. But there's a difference between supporting hunters, gun hobbyists (target shooting/clay shooting, collectors, etc), even self-defense arguments and this, which is a hair from calling on so-called 'patriots' to take aim at any and all dissenters. You would think after the recent shooting of Scalise and other Republicans in Alexandria that the tenor would be brought down. But no, this is almost a tit-for-tat stance.

It's just revolting and makes all gun owners look like a bunch of yahoos who eagerly wait to take to the streets, guns ablazing.

Dana Loesch should be ashamed for lending her face and voice to this repulsive screed. And the NRA? They should be put out of business.

It takes a lot to get me truly angry. But this threw me into orbit.
