A Republican running for Congress in Arizona launched a controversial ad campaign this week which shows him preparing to gun down Ku Klux Klan-hooded attackers while defending AR-15s as an appropriate form of self-defence.
Jerone Davison, a former professional football player and pastor, shared the inflammatory video on his Twitter on Tuesday, alongside the caption “Make Rifles Great Again”, “#SelfDefense” and “#2A” – a reference to the Second Amendment – to amp up his message of pushing back against a ban on assault weapons ahead of the crowded Arizona primary.
