NRA Street Exhibition?

Rogue Policeman acting out?

Circus street clown juggling pistols instead of fruits or cobblestones?

No, no, nothing like that. Forget it Larry, it’s West Philthadelphia.

It’s a very sad situation, and the anti-police radicals are just making it worse.

Seems not long ago that anytime there was a tragic shooting, within short order, the left was on the airwaves bashing the NRA, calling NRA the root cause.

With all these recent shootings, has anyone heard the NRA being held responsible? Wonder why not.......how many recent shootings were carried out by NRA members?

If anything, we need the NRA now more than ever, promoting responsible gun ownership.

Yes, good point.

Seems like the NRA has been fairly quiet since the skirmish about LaPierre spending too much money, etc., but that was quite a long time ago.

We do need them on hand, standing tall.

BLM doesn’t care, and neither do their marxist handlers.

Some parents are willing to bust their homes to provide a better environment for children they bore out of a desire for a family; other parents simply breed for cash payments and a life of leisure, leaving their children to fend for themselves.

This is nothing new.
