by Wayne LaPierre, Executive Vice President – Friday, August 14, 2020 Dear NRA Members, During my 40-plus years with your NRA, we’ve fought some tough and spirited battles. We’ve beat back renegade anti-gun legislation, overcome villainous attacks on our collective character, and defeated deep-pocketed elitists trying to run roughshod over your constitutional freedoms.

Wake up America! Do you get it yet? Do you understand what the gun ban proponents are trying to do? The following editorial posted at the Washington Examiner makes a good point: With the defund movement, the state’s ability to protect people is being demonized and exposed as ineffectual. It illustrates a fundamental truth that, fortunately, most people don’t have to think about, at least if they live in safe, affluent neighborhoods: At any given moment, your safety really is in your own hands. “Abolish police, and the Second Amendment becomes a first resort” They want to ban your guns and abolish the police. WHY?Read More →
