How Nice: Nancy Sinatra Says NRA Members 'Should Face A Firing Squad'

Nancy Sinatra, daughter of the late Frank Sinatra, has a modest proposal for the gun control debate: killing every member of the National Rifle Association. Oh, and by the way, Nancy. Not every member of the NRA is a gun owner. Some members support the organization solely based on their support that the Constitution guarantees an American citizen the right to own a firearm. Also, you just gave the best reason for why the Second Amendment exists.

Sinatra’s reaction comes after the horrific Las Vegas shooting, in which Stephen Paddock shot and killed 58 people and wounded nearly another 500 at the Route 91 Harvest music festival. Paddock used his 32nd floor suite at the Mandalay Bay hotel to open fire on the 22,000 concertgoers below. He killed himself before police could breach the door into his room.

While quote tweeting an article from someone who was pushing a post from the liberal site Daily Kos, she said, “the murderous members of the NRA should face a firing squad.” She has since deleted the tweet.
