Wasserman Schultz: NRA ‘Just Shy of a Terrorist Organization’
May 16, 2018 3:32 pm
Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D., Fla.), former chair of the Democratic National Committee (DNC), on Tuesday accused the National Rifle Association of creating a "culture of violence."
Responding to comments by newly elected NRA President Oliver North, Schultz told HuffPost that the NRA is "kind of just shy of a terrorist organization." North had likened gun-control activists’ behavior to "civil terrorism," but Schultz said in response that violence is being stoked by the NRA’s support of gun rights.
"The NRA is kind of just shy of a terrorist organization," Schultz said. "They have done everything they can to perpetuate the culture of violence that we have in our country with the spread of assault weapons across the nation."
North said last week that the NRA is being targeted like no civil rights organization has been before, and he criticized students who have become vocal advocates for gun control following the February shooting in Parkland, Fla.
