Being an American is something to enjoy and be proud of. The freedom to express oneself within reasonable boundaries can be celebrated, as not all countries can boast of that. It is therefore laughable if we agree with things like the NRA is trying to shove down our throats – their unbelievable firearm ads.
The ads are basically telling Americans that they are in danger from unscrupulous elements; criminals, ISIS, and such, and the second amendment has made provision for their protection. If this is the stereotype Americans are being frightened with, we firmly but politely disagree with that stance.
It began here with Marcus Luttrell advocating for the NRA. Fine, you fought against the Taliban and battled terrorism on an international scale but, does that translate to the need for an average American’s need for a firearm?

Radio and TV host – Dana Loesch wasn’t also left out. Seemingly not wanting to be outdone, she fires her own salvo. Her actions are based on her identity, not as a radio or TV host, but on her identity as a mom.
What?

The question is: “is this the general American sentiment?”
I honestly doubt it.”
