In a secretly recorded video captured by Al Jazeera, executives for the National Rifle Association (NRA) can be seen coaching members of the anti-immigration One Nation party of Australia how to attack gun control activists following shootings.
In the video, which can be seen below, media inquiries about gun control persist, NRA communications official, Lars Dalseide, advised members of the group to “shame them to the whole idea,” when fighting back against anyone advocating for sensible gun laws.
“If your policy, isn’t good enough to stand on itself, how dare you use their deaths to push that forward? How dare you stand on the graves of those children to put forward your political agenda?” the activsists are advised.
Another NRA employee, Catherine Mortensen, also offered advice on how to handle media inquiries after a mass shooting by simply stating “Ignore them.”
The NRA is secretly the National Republican Army.

From the Washington Post
Al Jazeera revealed on Tuesday that senior politicians with the far-right One Nation party may have sought up to a $20 million donation from the U.S. National Rifle Association (NRA) — in return for trying to shift Australia’s public opinion on firearms.
The Koch’s are financing far-right extremists — indirectly is the same as directly!
a separate recording appears to also show the two politicians meeting representatives of the U.S. corporation Koch Industries, which is a key donor dedicated to a number of conservative causes. In that separate discussion, the two far-right politicians similarly appear to imply that they could help change Australian gun laws by changing the country’s voting system.
The NRA used their tactics against Brazil.
In Brazil, NRA efforts to influence politics go back to at least 2003, when lawmakers toughened gun laws. Politicians deemed susceptible to NRA ideology were supported and trained by the organization at the time and in later years. Subsequent efforts to further crack down on gun ownership were defeated, after mass ad campaigns reminiscent of some of the NRA ads aired in the United States.
The NRA used their tactics against the United Nations.
In its push against tougher gun laws worldwide, the organization has at times even battled the United Nations and its Arms Trade Treaty, designed to stop weapons exports to countries accused of “committing genocides or war crimes.”
