@whowasthatmaskedman How does that answer my question?

Instead of waiting for politicians who take NRA money to act, the "people" who elected them are bypassing them and putting commercial pressure on big companies.. and the tourism industry.. The NRA are not the only political donors.. This is gaining momentum. The first domino is moving.@MrBrownstone

@whowasthatmaskedman Still doesn’t answer my question.

@MrBrownstone At least one NRA member went on a shooting spree along side death squads that I know of:

[quote]In 1983, Brown accompanied a team of mercenaries to El Salvador. The purpose of the trip was to provide training to the forces of fascist leader Roberto D'Aubuisson. Brown tried to strike a deal with D'Aubuisson where his own mercenaries would replace U.S. Army advisors in El Salvador. The offer was accepted, but never came to fruition. Brown, however, went as far as engaging in combat missions alongside D’Aubuisson’s death squads. [/quote]

There's probably more if you want to count militias depending but I have no proof if they are part of the NRA or not, but it does fit with the ideology.

@SatanBurger The Salvadoran Civil War is often too ugly for people to really recognize, both because of events like those as well as the involvement of Christianity in it. It messes with a lot of narratives.

@UndeadPrivateer I was wondering why people were ignoring me on the subject.. now I know 😂

I'm not one for glossing over stuff, particularly when it comes to war crimes such as working under fascist dickheads. If it is too ugly for people then maybe they need to remind themselves why it was so ugly in the first place 👍
