The NRA is under fire — yet again — from the New York Daily News and NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio over a picture tweeted by the group’s America’s 1st Freedom account.
The photo shows Democrat State Senator Roxanne Persaud and Democrat Assemblywoman Jo Anne Simon with 4 bullets and links to an editorial by America’s 1st Freededom’s Mark Chestnut on the pair’s idiotic plan to attempt to limit ammo sales in New York State to “twice the capacity of a gun owner’s firearm during a 90-day period.”

Those 4 bullets, you see, are an “act of terror” according to the New York Daily News which suggests the two politicians “be gunned down.”
An early look at tomorrow’s front page…

And Mayor Bill de Blasio seems to agree with the paper:
Knock it off, @NRAA1F. Your graphic is obnoxious and suggestive. I stand with @joannesimonbk52 & @senatorpersaud. https://t.co/eD0iMtmL6a

So now bullets in a photo that links to an editorial on a proposal by two politicians to limit bullets sales equals an “act of terror”? Delete your account, NY Daily News:

The Daily News looks like a comic book – and that's about the level of the text. https://t.co/F4R4YNkF6F

Daily News' front page is a freak-out over an NRA tweet. A tweet. Front page. https://t.co/v7mTzoHGlT
