Given a choice between the NRA and the Islamic State, Michael Moore would apparently go with the group known for cutting off the heads of Westerners.
On Friday, the documentary filmmaker labeled the National Rifle Association a “terrorist organization” and called on the media to compare it with ISIS.
The NRA is a terrorist organization. The media should speak of the NRA in the same way they do ISIS. Total ISIS-inspired deaths in US = 79. Thanks to the NRA & the politicians they buy, we’ve had 1.2 MILLION American gun deaths since John Lennon was shot dead in NYC #NRAKillsKids

“The NRA is a terrorist organization,” Moore wrote. “The media should speak of the NRA in the same way they do ISIS. Total ISIS-inspired deaths in US = 79. Thanks to the NRA & the politicians they buy, we’ve had 1.2 MILLION American gun deaths since John Lennon was shot dead in NYC #NRAKillsKids.”
Moore’s comment was made following the tragic shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., which left 17 dead.
The NRA has faced backlash from gun control proponents in the wake of the shooting, with several companies cutting their ties to the Second Amendment advocacy group.
Delta is reaching out to the NRA to let them know we will be ending their contract for discounted rates through our group travel program. We will be requesting that the NRA remove our information from their website.

United is notifying the NRA that we will no longer offer a discounted rate to their annual meeting and we are asking that the NRA remove our information from their website.

Customer feedback has caused us to review our relationship with the NRA. As a result, First National Bank of Omaha will not renew its contract with the National Rifle Association to issue the NRA Visa Card.

According to reports, there were several warning signs that Cruz could become a shooter, but the FBI and local authorities did not take action.
Additionally, the public learned that four deputies with the Broward County Sheriff’s Office hid outside behind police cars while students and teachers were being killed inside the school.

Moore’s comments provoked backlash.
You going to lay off/fire your bodyguards/security detail? Talk to me when you don’t rely on guns for your own safety. Hypocrite

Let’s add up all the mass shootings done by NRA members… right now that number stands at ZERO. If non-NRA members would just stop shooting people, that would be great. 100% drop. Easy solution.

This represents everything that is wrong with the unhinged Left. ISIS want you dead. Show me where the NRA tortures and rapes. Pro-second amendment people want you to have a chance to fight another day and not to be at the mercy of criminals.

Michael has never truly served the people of America. He has never put himself in harm’s way for fellow citizens. Why would anyone listen to this PERSON?

So you are telling me that you have NO friends that own a gun of any kind right? Is that what you are saying?

What a ridiculous statement this is
