THE REAL TERRORISTS ARE THE NRA! Says father who lost a child to gun violence

Andy Parker, the father of a reporter who was murdered on live television last year, accused the National Rifle Association (NRA) of being the “real terrorists” after the pro-gun group attacked House Democrats’ attempts to pass gun safety reforms.
During an NRA radio show on Wednesday, host Cam Edwardslashed out at Rep. John Lewis (D-GA) and other Democrats for holding a sit-in on the House floor.
“So in order to push legislation that the sponsors say would not have prevented the attacks in Orlando, Florida, they’re also going to flout the House rules,” Edwards opined. “Kind of like, you know, criminals and terrorists flout the rules that we have in place right now and will continue to do so?”
Parker responded on Thursday while speaking to CNN’s Carol Costello.
“The real terrorists are the folks at the NRA,” he said. “Those are the terrorists. And unfortunately, you have politicians that are complicit — they’ve pledged allegiance to the NRA versus the United States of America and the safety of its citizens.”
“And I’ve called them treasonous and I will continue to call them treasonous.”
