To: NRA CEO Wayne LaPierre and NRA Board of Directors
Tell the NRA to take down its vicious incendiary recruitment video!
We are offended and appalled by the NRA's recent recruitment ad with NRA spokeswoman Dana Loesch, which uses images and dangerous language that rallies gun owners against progressives and people of color. The NRA must take down the video, apologize, and also issue a statement condemning the shooting death of Philando Castile at the hands of police for being a legal gun owner.
Why is this important?
The NRA is using dangerous language to rally their members against progressives and people of color. In a vicious and incendiary recruitment ad, filled with images from recent demonstrations, the NRA creates an illusion of safety for their members by threatening the safety of others.
MomsRising unequivocally joins the Women's March and other partners in denouncing the video and calling on the NRA to take the following actions:
1. Take down the recent irresponsible and dangerous videos from all social platforms immediately.
2. Issue an apology to the American people for the video that suggests armed violence against communities of color, progressives, and anyone who does not agree with this Administration's policies.
3. Make a statement in defense of Philando Castile's Second Amendment right to own a firearm, demanding that the Department of Justice indict the police officer who killed Castile for exercising that right.
