The Secret War on Guns

Is a 30 Minute Paid Program sponsored by non other than The NRA that runs on different cable channels. They call the President every name in the book and accuse him of treason.
It is frightening!

The NRA is fucking evil

The frightening part is that they enjoy as much political influence as they do. It speaks volumes about the political party that allows it to happen.

This is how crazy these idiots have become...

4. Complain to the stations airing this garbage...

At 1:30 am I called the local NBC station to voice my complaint. Of course even the 'News Hotline' number went unanswered at that time night, so I shot off (no pun intended) an email instead. I plan on calling each and every station that airs that 30 minutes of lies and hatred.
I understand that stations get revenue for the air time they sell but they also need to be a little responsible for what they put on the air. We're not talking about vacuums or exercise programming here. Bad enough Super PACs flood the air waves with with 20 second ads... 30 minutes of venom is just too much!
FYI Depending on your cable provider, you can search to see where and when this infomercial will be aired and get your complaints ready! I already saw that the local ABC station aired The Secret War on Guns at 5:30 am....they will be hearing from me, too!

6. The Reelz Channel Owner - Michele Bachmann Supporter

of all the nutcases that ran for POTUS, he supports the crazy lady.

I sent an e-mail, then did my research - I'm sure Mr. Hubbard the CEO of Reelz is probably a fan of the NRA. I sent one to Turner too - Georgia based GOP mecca of the South. That e-mail will be dumped into the "whiny liberal" folder.

5. Having won every court battle, the NRA has little reason to exist anymore

They have to make crap up to keep raising money or they're all out of jobs.

As it is, there is too much settled law protecting gun rights to put much of a dent in any of it without a constitutional amendment - which has nowhere near the support it would need.

is the oldest organization protecting our civil rights.
Unless you're a victim of gun violence, then it's your fault for not having a gun too.

9. Lacking gun rights to protect, they've transitioned to supporting asshats for office

I can't say that I'm impressed.
