NRA: We're Coming For You Democracy

thingiverse

Are you a hunting/marksmanship group that got taken over by far-right conservatives in the late-1970s? Did a Democrat lose the Presidential election and Republicans control Congress? Then you'll need a new group to demonize before gun sales level out and you start losing memberships! Why not attack one of the core foundations of our democracy? The free press.
