What's the number, American NRA?

[Zurdo]

This is about the old guy who shot the black kid who knocked on his door -

[ Ludwig said he and his grandfather, who goes by the first name Dan, used to be very close.

ÔÇ£But in the last five or six years or so, I feel like weÔÇÖve lost touch,ÔÇØ he said. ÔÇ£IÔÇÖve gotten older and gained my own political views, and heÔÇÖs become staunchly right-wing, further down the right-wing rabbit hole as far as doing the election-denying conspiracy stuff and COVID conspiracies and disinformation, fully buying into the Fox News, OAN kind of line. I feel like itÔÇÖs really further radicalized him in a lot of ways.ÔÇØ

Ludwig said his grandfather had been immersed in ÔÇ£a 24-hour news cycle of fear and paranoia.ÔÇØ

ÔÇ£And then the NRA pushing the ÔÇÿstand your groundÔÇÖ stuff and that you have to defend your home,ÔÇØ he said. ÔÇ£When I heard what happened, I was appalled and shocked that it transpired, but I didnÔÇÖt disbelieve that it was true. The second I heard it, I was like, ÔÇÿYeah, I could see him doing that.ÔÇÖÔÇØ ]

This is how far the Conspiracy Theory rabbit hole can take you.
