The violence behind Stenchfield’s statement is typical of some of NRA board member Ted Nugent’s remarks, not to mention others (e.g., “The final war has begun,” Wayne R. LaPierre Jr.).
So actually the latest statement is not so surprising. I amend my comment above – the NRA with its statements often explicitly encourages violence, not just implicitly. In the last article referenced above, some NRA members are quoted as being appalled at some of these statements.
