Ted Nugent

#hemakesmesicktoo

I ate Ted Nugent. Now sick and shooting off my mouth like a fool.

"... the longtime rocker and NRA board of directors member slammed what he calls "the poor, mushy brained children," who organized the March for Our Lives on March 24, which advocated for tighter gun control. ..."

Marion Hammer

(she) #hemakesmesicktoo

I ate Marion Hammer. Now 'standing my ground' over dead bodies.

"... Hammer was one of the chief architects of Florida's controversial 2005 "Stand Your Ground" law... Half the states now have the law, or one like it, on their books. ..."

"... "Marion Hammer and the NRA are the masterminds of a dangerous paranoid mentality... the mentality that is responsible for endangering all of our lives," Malte said. "It's based on a lie that you need to be armed to the teeth anywhere you go." ..."

Source: CNN - NRA's Marion Hammer stands her ground

"... an idea the NRA sells in general to its members. But she's been cultivating this "us against them" mindset since the 80s. So when she raises some issue, perhaps like a Republican lawmakers voted the wrong way on something and broken with the flock, she's taught hundreds of thousands if not nearly 2 million people to immediately respond to her requests, and that means emailing them, emailing the governor's office, telling them to not do the bad thing that they're about to do, or undo the bad thing that they have done, and that always results in many thousands of emails. She's proven that she can mobilize those people so effectively that everyone is not only aware of it but it's to some extent afraid of it. It's her leverage. ..."

NRA

(they) #hemakesmesicktoo

I ate the NRA. Now deathly sick on all the bloody money.

"... “If they accept this blood money, they are against the children,” Emma Gonzalez said on CNN’s “New Day” on Monday. “You’re either funding the killers, or you’re standing with the children.” ..."

Don't let Trump/NRA/GOP #deflectdistractdiscredit you!

AR-15

(they) #hemakesmesicktoo

I ate an AR-15. Tastes like death.

"... The NRA dubbed it "America's rifle." ..."

"... The AR-15 has come to carry connotations of heroism (a Remington ad said it gives "you the confidence and firepower to get the job done"), political resistance (tighter regulations could let government "subjugate Americans" and make them "live under tyranny," a National Rifle Association executive said), fun ("killin' zombies before it was cool," reads another ad) and mass murder (high-capacity magazines have been used in more than half of mass shootings over four decades, according to several studies). ..."

"...But the AR-15 found new life in 2004, when President George W. Bush scrapped the ban on assault weapons that had been enacted under President Bill Clinton in 1994. And in 2005, Bush signed into law a measure protecting arms makers and dealers from liability for crimes committed with their products. The NRA called it "the most significant piece of pro-gun legislation in 20 years." ..."

"... A Pew poll last year found that 68 percent of Americans favor banning assault weapons, including 48 percent of gun owners. ..."

"... The latest school shooting led some pro-gun politicians to speak out against the AR-15. "I have hunted all my life," Sen. Bill Nelson, D-Fla., said on the Senate floor Thursday. "But an AR-15 is not for hunting. It's for killing." Nelson, up for reelection this year, is expected to face Gov. Rick Scott, a Republican who got an A+ ranking from the NRA. Scott said Thursday that he supports keeping guns out of the hands of the mentally ill. He said nothing about assault weapons. ..."
