So, when did the NRA become a journalism outlet rather than a shill for the gun industry?

Well, if the NRA doesnāt like the New York Times, theyāre fucking going to hate the Dallas Morning News:
Donald Trump and the political action committees for Mitch McConnell, Marco Rubio, Scott Walker, Lindsey Graham, John Kasich and John McCain accepted $7.35 million in contributions from a Ukrainian-born oligarch who is the business partner of two of Russian president Vladimir Putinās favorite oligarchs and a Russian government bank.
During the 2015-2016 election season, Ukrainian-born billionaire Leonid āLenā Blavatnik contributed $6.35 million to leading Republican candidates and incumbent senators. Mitch McConnell was the top recipient of Blavatnikās donations, collecting $2.5 million for his GOP Senate Leadership Fund under the names of two of Blavatnikās holding companies, Access Industries and AI Altep Holdings, according to Federal Election Commission documents and OpenSecrets.org.
But remember, kiddies. The whole Russian thing is a made up story.

Yeah, Iām sure the NYT is shaking in their shoes. Just the thought of a bunch of beer-bellied yahoo Chuck Norris wannabes is enough to cause weeks of hysterical ROTFLMAOs. What are they gonna do - shoot up a few copies of last Thursdayās edition? Dana Loesch is a nothing nobody.

This strikes me as about right.
The NRA seem to me to be a mailing list run for profit by a very well-paid staff. (For comparison, I was offered the American Iron and Steel Institute as a gift many years ago. Today it is a successful Gucci Gulch PR operation. At the time it was floundering, and the owner needed somebody to take it off his hands. In those days the NRA was a near neighbor, and not much different.)
This very talented young lady is a paid actress, and sheās making scale, which is not bad. Not as good as a soap gig with residuals, but an OK job.
There are dangerous gun nuts out there. Iād count them in the dozens, low hundreds at the outside, and they overlap with militias, state secessionists, race purifiers and so on. The police and FBI know who they are, and they arenāt going to commit more than the odd shoot 'em up now and then. I donāt think thereās much overlap with hunting and fishing people. Actual gun owners who hunt have a bigger overlap with the Sierra Club than they do with Second Amendment fools.
I donāt really think this story deserved the space itās taking up in TPM.

Gosh Dana. Maybe we should Fisk you I get so tired of this overlord crap. Freaking victims.
Oh look , Dana`s having a tantrum . Roflmfao .
If you come after New York, youād better bring your A game.
We bitch-slap punks like the NRA and then laugh about it.
Guns donāt make New Yorkers tough; the city does.
These are the toughest, but nicest folks, Iāve ever known.

Ok, so I guess because she was misquoted in a violent tweet by one letter, we should ignore the fact that she is threatening violence against a media outlet.
That makes it all ok.
So letās see, if someone makes the same threat against the POTUS, whether this defense would hold up when the Secret Service comes to visitā¦
āOh, officer, I didnāt say āfistā. I said āfiskā. Means something completely different, but Iām still coming to shoot him upā¦ā
Yeah, right.
Only when they stop contributing to GOP candidates. Only after Citizens United is overturned and campaign contributions donāt make policy anymore.

Seems there was just a protest a couple of weeks ago in DC, where they marched from he NRA to the Justice department in protest. Of course, it was ājustā women (of all colors) so it didnāt get a whole lot of press.

I am no legal expert - far from it - but doesnāt a public threat like this, especially one on video and on the Internet that will last for eternity, have the possibility of putting the NRA in serious legal jeopardy? If any gun nut who is a paying, card-carrying member of the organization were to threaten or even commit bodily harm against an employee of the NYT, couldnāt the NYT make a case against the NRA, saying that they were responsible - or at least partially responsible, due to obvious incitement - for it? I donāt think they would be able to get away with the āHa! It was only a joke!ā shit that Sarah Sanders tries to use to excuse the lunacies that are said by the members of the Trump regime.
I thought this was going to be rifle related. Are they now the National Rifle and Journalism Association?
Well, you canāt expect any publicity about a bunch of marching vajayjays. Now, if they were the poor, oppressed white working class people who vote against their own self-interests that the media gives unlimited coverage to in order to air their phony grievances, then it would probably be a different story.
I had a wonderful dream last night in which Ellen Ripley and a troop of minority transgendered Marines beat the living hell out of Dana Loesch, Wayne La Pierre, and Ted Nugent. Yes, I know I am a terrible person for fantasizing about such violent things, but at least I woke up smiling.

The real problem is that with Hillary off the horizon, the gun lobby is facing a lack of nightmare fuel; people arenāt buying guns or membershipsāand GoA is making inroads on the crank demo. Time to beat the drums!

Dana Loesch is the human equivalent of Raid bug killer. Even roaches scamper back under the refrigerator when she enters a kitchen.
