Tired of NRA terrorism

Let’s call the Vegas shooter what he is: a National Rifle Association terrorist. In fact, let’s call all such mass murders what they are: an act of radical NRA terrorism.

Until we recognize these horrific crimes are made possible because private citizens have access to weapons that have no business being in their hands, we must lay such violence at the bloody doorstep of the organizations that push for such an insane lack of restrictions on gun ownership: the NRA and their criminal accomplice, the U.S. Congress.
