Trump has not been good for the gun business. They were planning on a bonanza if Hillary was elected.

Every action, policy, objective and ideology from the right, from guns to taxes, is based on shaking more money and profits from the pockets of The Base. The most gullible and easily exploited, ever fearful and angry, part of the population.

The NRA may see an untapped market with young women.

There is frankly, no nation on God's green earth with more suckers ready to be parted from their money than America.

Even Trumps lawyer, Jay Sekulow has made millions from a number of right wing "charities" he controls.

Philando Castile was a legal gun owner killed by a police officer. While the NRA rages about government jackbooted thugs taking away gun rights, they have been silent about Castile's death. I wonder why.

I wrote about NRA propaganda in my first book, so I'm quite familiar with their methods, but this video makes me uneasy. The tactic isn't new--the NRA has been pushing the us-again-them narrative to solicit donations and sell guns for decades--but this video is much more explicit than previous efforts. Like everything else in the age of Trump, the whispers and dog whistles have given way shouts and tornado sirens.

Honestly, there's very little that the left can do or say to snuff this out. We desperately need moderate conservatives to recognize the danger and push this shit back to the fringe. I don't know what it will take to make this happen.
