NRA magazine cover triggers Democrats into phony outrage

The NRA magazine The American Rifleman’s March 2019 cover has set off the left. Democrats have a short fuse in the gun rights debate anyway, but the current outrage is particularly unserious. The cover features a photo op Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other Democrats, including former Congresswoman Gabby Giffords, took when Pelosi spoke about universal background check legislation Democrats are putting up for a vote next week. Next to that photo is the NRA’s wording – “Target Practice” with the subtitle “Congressional Democrats target gun owners for persecution with extreme firearm transfer bans.”

SMELLING SALTS STAT!!!! Heavens to Murgatroid. As if NOTHING they've ever done is disquieting? Not to mention, they are further violating, or attempting to violate our guaranteed rights. Poor erick swallowell tweeted this:

Rep. Eric Swalwell ✔ @RepSwalwell

This is a call for violence by the @NRA against @GabbyGiffords, who was nearly killed by gunfire and @SpeakerPelosi, the most powerful legislator in America. The NRA should face legal consequences. But let’s put them out of business with boycotts and ballot boxes. #EnoughIsEnough

Waaaaaaaaaaa. What friggin' pansy. Figure he lost a lot of lunch money back in the day.

So, Democrats are upset that Democrat legislators want to gut the Second Amendment any which way they can? Maybe they’re finally coming to their senses, after all! /s;)

If gun owners were as dangerous as the left pretends we are, there would be no left.

Swalwell was also the jerk congressman from SoCal that called for nuking gun owners if they refused to give up their “assault rifles”

Poor little Eric, probably got hung from his locker door by his Fruit Of The Looms, many times. He’s a two-bit, traumatized punk. Most likely hears gunshots when a Harley starts-up.

They’re relentlessly coming after us, and will be doing so, for the foreseeable future. Although we’re already in it, CW2 probably isn’t the answer, but you’d have to talk me out of the shooting segment, if they continue.

....... If you go to the online version of the magazine .... The picture referred to is actually on page 18 and not the “Cover” as the complaint says ..... Not to mention that the title of the article and bi-line clearly state that democrats are targeting the lawful gun owner ...... Heck .... It’s not even suggesting that gun owners target Democrats but that Democrats are targeting gun owners ......

They lie- plosey is on p. 19, not the cover. The photo even shows the page number.

If you want to piss off a Conservative, tell them a lie. If you want to piss off a Leftist, tell them the truth.

I suspect more than anyone could imagine have thought about half of the weak minded tards in the country missing from their personnel roster.

This is incorrect.

The March 2019 issue of The American Rifleman has a very nice picture of an AR on the cover.

There is a picture of Pelosi Galore and some other 'rats on page 18-19 of that same issue accompanying the "Target Practice" article that is supposed to have set the socialist off.

The picture is innocuous and isn't anywhere near the cover.

But let’s put them out of business with boycotts...

This man is a true idiot. How does he expect an NRA boycott would put them out of business when all of his progressive comrades already run squealing at the thought of a firearm of any kind?

That’s one way of “thinning the herd” and “culling the voter roles”.
