As mentioned by The Daily Sheeple yesterday, the NRA did make an announcement shortly after word broke of another police officer involved shooting. Considering Castile notified the police officer, Jeronimo Yanez, that he was armed, the NRA likely felt it was a gun issue, and it's certainly looking like that's the case.

Yanez was found not guilty on Friday in what was obvious to most as a murder. In case it was missed yesterday, The Daily Sheeple posted the dashcam footage of Castile's final moments.

Castile's death was "troubling", the NRA said, adding that it supported the right of law-abiding Americans to carry firearms, no matter their race. "Rest assured," the statement added, "the NRA will have more to say once all the facts are known." On Friday in St. Paul, Minnesota, close to a year after Castile's death, the police officer who snuffed out his life was cleared of all charges in the death of Castile. Castile was a beloved elementary school cafeteria worker who had a permit for the firearm he was carrying when he died. There were protests in St Paul. The NRA remained silent.
