Retired Navy SEAL Marcus Luttrell warned Islamic extremists that he cowers to no one in a video released Thursday by the National Rifle Association.
"I cower to no one," Luttrell said in the video.
"I am an American, free born and free bred," Luttrell said. "And I will call you out for who you are, Islamic extremists who will kill me for my beliefs."
Luttrell said that his freedom is more powerful than anything that the Islamic extremists could do.
"My freedom is more powerful than anything you can possibly do," Luttrell said. "I will say what I think, worship according to my beliefs, and raise my children how I see fit."
Luttrell said he would defend his freedom with the second amendment.
"I will defend it all with the second amendment to the Constitution of the United States," Luttrell said.

MARCUS LUTTRELL: I know you’re watching, so pay attention. You hate my freedom, my religion, and my country. You hate me for speaking my mind. You try to control me with violence and intimidation.
You think you can muzzle me with fear? Don’t ever confuse me for my politicians or our media. I am an American, free born and free bred. And I will call you out for who you are, an Islamic extremist who will kill me for my beliefs.
You don’t intimidate me. My freedom is more powerful than anything you can possibly do. And I will never, never surrender my rights to your terror. I will say what I think, worship according to my beliefs, and raise my children how I see fit. And I defend it all with the Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States.
I cower to no one because I am the National Rifle Association of America and I am in freedom’s safest place.
