There’s a reason Kirsten Gillibrand is polling at roughly 0% … take for example her ridiculous rant about the NRA during her Fox News Town Hall. It’s painfully obvious she knows absolutely nothing about the oldest civil rights organization in the country.
Ryan Saavedra took her and her NRA lies apart in a pretty epic thread.
Take a gander.
Kirsten Gillibrand: “The NRA is the worst organization in this country. They care more about their profits than the American people, they care more about selling guns to someone on the terror watch list or w/grave mental illness or who has a violent criminal background”

Profits.
She has no idea what she’s talking about.
Ryan broke it down:
-NRA is a non-profit & does *not* sell guns
-People opposed banning people who were on the terror watch list from buying guns because it would strip people of their rights without due process
-Violent criminals & grave mentally ill people are already banned from owning guns

Who knew?
Oh, wait, anyone with even half a brain in their heads, that’s who.
Which is probably why she didn’t know.

And she wants to be president.
Chris Wallace calls out Kirsten Gillibrand over her gun-control plans, noting none of them would have stopped the Virginia Beach tragedy: “Is there anything you could have done that would have stopped this terrible incident?”

This is the same chick who didn’t know how to eat fried chicken.
Kirsten Gillibrand: “Remember, after the shooting in Las Vegas [Trump] said, ‘we’re going to ban the bump stocks.’ Did he ban the bump stocks? No! Because the NRA came crashing down”

Oopsie.
Kirsten Gillibrand: “The NRA is lying to the American people, it is not about the Second Amendment. … [The NRA] wants to make sure an abuser who has a restraining order against him can buy a weapon” pic.twitter.com/7UnjBBUO2Z

You have to wonder if she listens to the garbage and outright lies she spews.
Wow.
The NRA is about the 2nd Amendment, as stated in their bylaws: https://t.co/L9CbJdEhG4
People convicted of domestic violence are banned from owning guns: https://t.co/Zlq1BCxkds
People who have restraining orders against them are banned from owning guns: https://t.co/Zlq1BCxkds

Oopsie again.
Wallace grills Gillibrand: “Your campaign slogan is ‘Brave Wins,’ but when you [represented] a conservative district…you took pretty conservative positions on guns…once you became the Senator for the entire liberal state of NY, you flipped. How is that brave?”
She can't answer pic.twitter.com/MHOJciJcGm

Of course she can’t.
Wallace continues to grill Gillibrand over her complete flip on gun issues: “It sounds a lot more like it’s politics than principles… how do you explain the change?”
Gillibrand responds by screaming about the Golden Rule and blaming the NRA pic.twitter.com/cLDNr3Xvbe

She responds by deflecting because she knows nobody bought anything she was trying to sell.
