The National Rifle Association (NRA) in America has recently launched a new campaign to promote gun ownership freedom, releasing various promotional videos. In these videos, ordinary American citizens who own personal firearms criticize opponents of guns and advocates for restrictions. The audience for these videos includes Hollywood stars who oppose gun carrying, politicians calling for stricter gun laws, and a specific country: Iran! In one video, a seasoned American man with a gray beard addresses the 'Ayatollahs of Iran' and says, 'Listen! You may have seen the childish and rosy-cheeked face of our president and his weak and educated friends, but you have not seen America.' This man is, of course, a famous country and bluegrass musician named Charlie Daniels. He continues to speak to the camera, stating that they do not know the heart of America and are unfamiliar with its people who protect their country with blood and 'calloused empty hands.' He says, 'You have not seen the steelworkers and hardworking miners of America, or the people of Cajun City who pull alligators from the water and wrestle with them.' Daniels continues that Iran is not familiar with farmers, cowboys, lumberjacks, and truck drivers in America. 'You know nothing about our men who live in the mountains or the brave police officers fighting in urban conflicts.' In the end, Daniels says: you do not know America, and you better pray that you never have to deal with it.
