Singer Nancy Sinatra on Thursday called for members of the National Rifle Association to be killed by firing squad.
Sinatra—the daughter of legendary crooner Frank Sinatra—shared the sentiment on Twitter following the murder of 59 people in Las Vegas by a mass shooter over the weekend.
The murderous members of the NRA should face a firing squad. https://t.co/5ceuMvk5Tl— Nancy Sinatra (@NancySinatra) October 3, 2017
In response to criticism, Sinatra clarified that she did not mean all gun owners, just NRA members.
I didn't say every one, I said the "murderous members of the NRA"— Nancy Sinatra (@NancySinatra) October 5, 2017
That makes you every bit as horrible as you believe them.
In 2013, the NRA estimated it had five million members. When another Twitter user asked Sinatra to explain why she thought every NRA member should be killed, Sinatra did not challenge the interpretation of her remarks.
Dear @NancySinatra there are 5 million NRA members Explain why
they should be killed. ALL Recent Mass Shooters Were #DemsNOT @NRA Members

The execution of every NRA member would produce a death toll larger than the Rwandan, Armenian, Bosnian, and Cambodian genocides.
