HOUSE PROPOSAL EMBRACES OBAMA WISH LIST

Just before press time for this issue, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi’s “Gun Violence Prevention Task Force,” chaired by Rep. Mike Thompson, D-Calif., released a proposal parroting the Obama administration’s gun control wish list.

The Pelosi-Thompson task force calls on Congress to ban millions of commonly owned semi-automatic firearms and magazines; criminalize private firearm transfers; ban common hunting and sport-shooting ammunition; waste taxpayer dollars on ineffective gun ^“buyback” programs and flawed government studies aimed at promoting further gun control laws; and remove legal protections of sensitive law enforcement information.

“The 4.5 million men and women of the National Rifle Association and our tens of millions of supporters across the country strongly oppose this effort to enact the Obama gun control agenda,” said Chris W Cox, executive director of the NRA  Institute for Legislative Action. “The last thing America needs is more failed solutions to our nation’s most pressing problems. Congress should instead focus its energies on the things that will actually keep our families and communities safer—prosecuting criminals who misuse firearms; securing our schools; and fixing the broken mental health system that keeps dangerously ill people on the street”

NRA RESPONSE TO PRESIDENT OBAMA’S GUN CONTROL PROPOSALS

I’m Wayne LaPierre, and here’s what they didn’t tell you today…

Throughout its history, The National Rifle Association has led efforts to promote safety and responsible gun ownership. Keeping our children and society safe remains our top priority.

The NRA  will continue to focus on keeping our children safe and securing our schools, fixing our broken mental health system and prosecuting violent criminals to the fullest extent of the law. We look forward to working with Congress on a bipartisan basis to find real solutions to protecting America’s most valuable asset— our children.

Attacking firearms and ignoring children is not a solution to the crisis we face as a nation. Only honest, law-abiding gun owners will be affected, and our children will remain, vulnerable to the inevitability of more tragedy. ©
