<p>Recently the NRA put out a new ad featuring their female spokesperson <a href="https://twitter.com/@Dloesch" type="external">Dana Loesch</a> that calls for people to join the NRA. The ad has been called many things across social media. Many on the left are calling it an outright call for violence against the left and protesters. They cry that it is attempting to incite violence. Some even said it was &#8220;barely a whisper shy of a call for full civil war.&#8221;</p> 
<p>Now I am a firm believer in the right of all people to defend themselves. The ad is very easy to understand, and pretty straight forward if you are a logical and sensible person. But if you are looking for a reason to incite violence I guess you can try and twist the words of the ad to suit your needs.</p> 
<p>Here is the transcript of the ad:</p> 
<p>&#8220;They use their media to assassinate real news. They use their schools to teach children that their president is another Hitler. They use their movie stars and singers and comedy shows and award shows to repeat their narrative over and over again. And then they use their ex-president to endorse the resistance.</p> 
<p>&#8220;All to make them march, make them protest, make them scream racism and sexism and xenophobia and homophobia. To smash windows, burn cars, shut down interstates and airports, bully and terrorize the law-abiding &#8212; until the only option left is for the police to do their jobs and stop the madness.</p> 
<p>&#8220;And when that happens, they&#8217;ll use it as an excuse for their outrage. The only way we stop this, the only way we save our country and our freedom, is to fight this violence of lies with the clenched fist of truth. I&#8217;m the National Rifle Association of America, and I&#8217;m freedom&#8217;s safest place.&#8221;</p> 
<p>The only thing in the entire ad that talks about fighting back is this one line, &#8220;to fight this violence of lies with the clenched fist of truth&#8221;. Now if that calls for attacks and violence against others, you really are stretching your imagination a bit and need to look at all the other things listed that are already being done by the anti-American types.</p> 
<p>Now I may be just a simple man, and try to look at things as logically as I can, but in listening to the ad, and reading the transcript, all I see is the statement of facts on how some people act, and that you confront them with the truth. The reference to the &#8220;fist&#8221; is in reference to the fist emblem used by the &#8220;resist&#8221; movement, not the NRA. I have found in debating people online (@downrangewithcw) that when you bring out the facts and truth, they resort to name calling and ugly threats. The reasons that progressives use violence against law-abiding innocent citizens are simple and straightforward. In addition, remember those reasons which Dana Loesch mentions are already used to commit riots and violence against communities across this country.</p>

<p>So to all of those that are crying that the ad incites violence and calls for a civil war, I say get a life! You are what is wrong with this country. Here we have a spokesperson talking about using truth to combat violence and you, the ones complaining about the ad are whining that it calls for violence.</p> 
<p>I hate to break it to you, if you thought Ms. Loesch&#8217;s words were inciting you must be apoplectic in reading my article &#8220; <a href="https://bit.ly/2tcqFwH" type="external">Protesters Be Warned</a>&#8221; where I discuss the facts surrounding the lawful use of force to defend yourself if confronted by a violent crowd.</p> 
<p>It&#8217;s time for the people that think it is OK to violently protest anything that comes to mind to understand that a time is coming when they will find that the law abiding people of this country, who would love nothing more than to be left alone, will no longer allow their businesses or homes to be burned and looted. People will no longer allow themselves to be dragged from their cars and beaten for simply being in the wrong place at the wrong time.</p> 
<p>The NRA&#8217;s Dana Loesch ad calls for nothing more than the truth, and obviously is more than the progressive left can take. You know the old saying, the truth hurts, doesn&#8217;t it! Oh, I guess that is calling for violence too.</p>
