The National Rifle Association’s official journal posted a picture of Democratic New York state lawmakers superimposed next to menacing bullets after the NRA heard about the lawmakers’ plan to limit ammunition purchases.
Here’s the tweet, and the accompanying letter from the editor, from the NRA journal, America’s 1st Freedom, featuring state Sen. Roxanne Persaud and Assemblywoman Jo Anne Simon.

The letter, written by journal editor Mark Chestnut, said the two lawmakers “simply don’t care about” gun owners and the amount of ammunition they reasonably need.
New York Mayor Bill de Blasio called it “obnoxious” and “suggestive.”
Knock it off, @NRAA1F. Your graphic is obnoxious and suggestive. I stand with @joannesimonbk52 & @senatorpersaud. https://t.co/eD0iMtmL6a

The Wasilla Hillbilly, $ister $arah, put a target over Gabbie Giffords’ picture and look what happened there! These people couldn’t be more irresponsible!
It might be some sort of secret code. Dunno.
At just what point does the American electorate (or law enforcement) begin to equate the NRA with jihad?
Now it just needs a semen squirt on it.
