Is this photo from the NRA an ‘act of terror’?

The NRA is under fire — yet again — from the New York Daily News and NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio over a picture tweeted by the group’s America’s 1st Freedom account.

The photo showsDemocrat State Senator Roxanne Persaud and Democrat Assemblywoman Jo Anne Simon with 4 bullets and links to an editorial by America’s 1st Freededom’s Mark Chestnut on the pair’s idiotic plan to attempt to limit ammo sales in New York State to “twice the capacity of a gun owners firearm during a 90-day period.”

First up, the GOP front-runner came out against letting states control public lands now run by the federal government saying, “I don’t like the idea because I want to keep the lands great, and you don’t know what the state is going to do”:

This is what they’re talking about, with the land in red owned by the federal government:

Rand Paul has already spoken about this, saying in 2015 that federal lands should be handed over to state or local governments:

“I’d either sell or turn over all the land management to the states,” Paul, a Republican presidential candidate and senator from Kentucky, said, landing him big applause at a campaign event. “I don’t think the federal government needs to be involved.”

Later in the interview, Trump seemed to signal that we shouldn’t allow oil and gas companies todrill any new wells on federally-controlled lands because there’s already “so much energy”:
