The Gun Collective posted this a few hours ago on their Facebook page.

It's no secret that many in the media have been holding the NRA accountable for their actions as of late. There are very powerful people within the NRA who stand to lose a lot by the continued loss of members and revenue.
We have friends all over the world and in many communities which include those who reside and work within the realm of the Dark Web. It has been brought to our attention by a source we deem to be credible within this community that a bounty has been placed by a high level NRA operative against all detractors of the organization. The bounty calls for the deplatforming of the media person(s), the hacking of their bank accounts, mortgages, mail servers, etc. The stated goal is to cause so many personal problems that the person will be focused on that vs. talking about the NRAs activities.
I represent several media people who have been approached with this information. I'm only posting this message so that there is written record that should we be deplatformed, should our accounts be hacked, or should anything else occur that might be destructive to our personal and financial well being, the likely source will be the NRA or an agent acting on their behalf.
We truly hope this information isn't accurate but we must proceed as if it is given the serious nature of the warning.
To this point we have not been victims of any such targeted attacks. If something were to happen after this post is made public, the culprit will be crystal clear.
I will not answer any questions about this statement.
Thank you for the continued support. The fight for our rights will continue and we will not be deterred.
