Every campaign should run it, promote it & make it a billboard campaign with youtubelink.

This proves the NRA 2A slogan, a lie.

Unfortunately, the Democratic Party doesn't do marketing.

It's gonna be up to us to make this go viral!

So glad you posted this!

They suppressed our messaging rather than promoted it. And that was by design.

This is why groups like Meidas Touch, ElevenNews, Lincoln Project etc, stepped in to do the job MSM refused to do.

Dem organizations do a fine job on local & State levels. And Federal when the risk is high. The Dem Party doesn't have at their disposal the billion$ that the Republicans receive from the big foreign operaions like the NRA.

Militias are NOT supposed to be citizens against the government according to the CONSTITUTION

2nd Ammendment
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.


Article 1, Section 8, Clause 15 and 16 OF THE CONSTITUTION defines what a well regulated Militia MEANS



(Clause 15 – The Militia)

[The Congress shall have Power] To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions;

(Clause 16 – The Militia)

[The Congress shall have Power] To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining, the Militia, and for governing such Part of them as may be employed in the Service of the United States, reserving to the States respectively, the Appointment of the Officers, and the Authority of training the Militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress;

From the U.S. Senate web site:

Under these provisions, the right of the states to maintain a militia, including what is now the National Guard, is always subordinate to the power of Congress. In 1795 Congress first gave the president authority to call out the militia to suppress insurrections. Presidents employed this power to enforce federal law during desegregation disputes during the 1950s, and later during the civil disturbances in various cities during the 1960s

This really is the gist of the whole NRA's scam that has got to be publicly shoved in their faces over & over till the power is shifted & they are driven back ino a small corner of regulated existance.
