"You haven't met the steelworkers and the hard-rock miners, or the swamp folks in Cajun country who can wrestle a full-grown gator out of the water." "You haven’t met the farmers, the cowboys, the loggers and the truck drivers," he adds. "You don’t know the mountain men who live off the land, or the brave cops who fight the good fight in the urban war zones""No, you’ve never met America. And you oughta pray you never do," he warns.The ad promoting the contested pro-gun lobby was originally uploaded to the NRA's YouTube on March 22.While the current US administration's foreign policy on Iran has garnered a mixed response among the pubic, the country also faces a fierce debate on gun control.
