If You Compare Slavery To This, You Might Want To Take A Step Back And Reconsider Your Life Choices

The former president of the NRA needs to take a step back and just accept that she really is not Rosa Parks. At all.

At :25, she makes up some stuff. At 1:29, she tries to scare her listeners some more by suggesting that the government will oppress everyone and take ALL their guns (as though an assault weapon can protect you from the largest military defense system in the world 10 times over. Also,  she’s basically insinuating that our nation’s men and women in uniform are all potential traitors, but I digress.) And at 2:47, she compares the struggle to obtain equal rights for African-Americans back in the day to the plight of modern gun owners having their access to AR-15s slightly altered. Man, I wish I was making that up. But I’m not.
