Why do emails I receive regarding firearms or NRA have the red warning bar across the top?

Example: I frequently receive emails from my Cousin that do not have the red warning bar except when she sends me anything regarding firearms or the NRA? Does Mozilla or Spam Assassin have some political agenda?

No political agenda, but the NRA messages may have triggered (no pun intended) TB's scam detection.

'Advocacy' mail often contains a plethora of links from various sources, some of which may run afoul of the scam algorithm.

What red warning bar ? What does the warning actually say? Can you post an image so we understand what you are talking about?

Thanks. I just wanted to be sure I am using and supporting apolitical organizations.
