Turns out the NRA is weirder and even more threatening than you thought
You think you know everything there is to know about the National Rifle Association, and then they do something like this.
“To every lying member of the media, to every Hollywood phony, to the role model athletes who use their free speech to alter and undermine what our flag represents…Your Time is running out. The clock starts now."

Yep, hardly threatening at all. Here’s what TV host and conservative political activist Dana Loesch had to say in the NRA advert.
“We are done with your agenda to undermine voters will and individual liberty in America.
“So to every lying member of the media, to every Hollywood phony, to the role model athletes who use their free speech to alter and undermine what our flag represents.
“To the politicians who would rather watch America burn than lose one ounce of their own personal power, to the late night posts that think their opinion is the only opinions that matter.
“To the Joy-Ann Reids, the Morning Joes, the Mikas. To those who stain honest reporting with partisanship.
“To those who bring bias and propaganda to CNN, The Washington Post and The New York Times … your time is running out. The clock starts now.”

It’s not even a clock, it’s an hourglass.
I wasn’t afraid until you turned the hourglass. I thought this was all a game Dana. But once I saw you turn the hourglass…I knew that our time is up. And now I won’t sleep because of the way you turned that hourglass.
