A survey of National Rifle Association (NRA) publications by the Violence Policy Center since the Oklahoma City bombing indicates the organization has continued its attack on the Federal Government using paranoid and inflammatory language.
Abstract
Statements issued by the NRA encourage extremists who believe they have the right to take violent action against the government for any perceived infringement of their gun "rights." NRA publications denounce gun laws as repressive and unconstitutional, view law enforcement agencies as abusive and even terrorist, fuel public distrust of government, and encourage membership in private militias.
