NRATV tells its viewers that they are under assault from liberals, black people, undocumented immigrants, and Muslims and that they might one day need to kill them—in self defense, of course. Like the president, the NRA has correctly divined that fomenting and exploiting white people’s fears and hatreds is an effective sales strategy. If marketing murder fantasies is what it takes to move the product, then so be it. When the answer to any problem has to be “buy more guns,” then absurd logic, such as holding dead people responsible for being shot by police in their own homes, is inevitable.
This could go on several threads, but this one probably works best. https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2018/09/the-nras-catch-22-for-black-men-shot-by-police/570124/
TIL that there’s an NRATV, but not surprising because of course there would be.
John Oliver did a piece on it a few months back. It's more absurd than you think.
