Stephan: This is so morally disgusting and so typical of the NRA, which I consider one of the evil entities degrading American society. Click on the video.
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.
