'Doom spiral continues': Report claims new NRA chief involved in 'gruesome' torture of cat

The new president of the National Rifle Association took part in the 'gruesome" torture of a cat while a student, according to legal documents unearthed by the Guardian. According to the report, he and his fraternity brothers captured a pet cat and engaged in "gruesome" torture that involved cutting off the animal's paws before stringing it up and setting it on fire. “Heartlessness must be in the job description to run the NRA,” Nick Suplina of Everytown for Gun Safety told The Guardian.“This revelation shows that the NRA has failed to turn the page on its scandal-plagued leaders and its doom spiral continues with Hamlin at the helm.” One of the former fraternity brothers came forward to speak about the event to The Guardian and describe his regret. The student who reported the incident to the police, Shelagh Abbs Winter, is now an active member of Moms Demand Action, a gun safety group trying to stop school shootings.
