Gun sales are down since the black guy left office, so the NRA has decided to help the gun manufacturers by ginning up fear and resentment against Liberals and the media.
In the video, Raso, decries a “media motivated by extreme ideology” during montages that include Sens. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.), CNN anchor Don Lemon and Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.) juxtaposed with images of protests by anti-fascist, or “antifa,” activists.
The NRA is attempting to paint Liberals as violent unruly protesters that 'law abiding' gun owners need protection from, so the guy who aleady owns ten guns will go out and buy one more.
They may as well just come out and declare war on Liberals and members of the media.
It has everything to do with firearms.On NRA TV, Gun Companies Bankroll a Culture War
Major firearms brands are underwriting provocative videos that cast liberals and the media as enemies of America.
In the face of condemnation over its fiery political videos, the National Rifle Association is gleefully escalating its culture-war offensive.
On July 9, it posted a new video to NRA TV, a website that disseminates original programming produced by the gun organization.

In the nearly six-minute spot, Dom Raso, a former Navy SEAL, condemns protesters who have marched against the Trump administration, the Democratic politicians who have applauded the protest movement, and journalists who publish stories that are the source of so much outrage.
In a voiceover, Raso declares that liberals are motivated by “an extreme ideology.”
The protests and increasing anger on the left reminds Raso, he says, of an overseas “radical Islamic country” where he’d served in the military.
An excerpt of the clip was tweeted out with the hashtag #ClenchedFistOfTruth, a reference to another video produced by Dana Loesch, an NRA spokeswoman.
Loesch’s video became the center of a media controversy in early July after some on the left said it endorsed violence against protesters.
Ruger and Sig Sauer are among the other major gun companies that have underwritten provocative videos produced by NRA TV.
Notably, the gun makers are bankrolling content that often has little or nothing to do with firearms, instead stoking the fires of conservative political fear and cultural resentment.
