President’s Column | Trump Is Latest Among Eight U.S. Presidents With NRA Membership
by Carolyn D. Meadows, President – Tuesday, January 21, 2020
Presidents Day was originally established in 1885 to recognize George Washington, our first commander in chief. It is interesting to note that among his highly prized possessions during his lifetime was an English pistol. The firearm (a .71 caliber flintlock) was given to then 23-year-old Washington in 1755 while he served under English General Edward Braddock. We know about the importance that Washington placed on this pistol from a letter his aide sent July 2, 1777.
“Sir, His Excellency Gen. Washington desires you to look among his effects for a pistol which was mislaid or possibly lost. You will know it by being a large brass barrel and the lock of which is also of brass with the name of Gabbitas, the Spanish armorer, thereon. It has also a heavy brass butt. His Excellency is much exercised over the loss of this pistol, it being given him by Gen. Braddock, and having since been with him through several campaigns, and he therefore values it very highly.” Today this pistol is part of “The Price of Freedom: Americans at War” collection at the Smithsonian National Museum of American History in Washington, D.C.
Following in the footsteps of our first president, George Washington, to safeguard our freedom have been other notable American presidents, as well as the National Rifle Association, founded in 1871. The NRA, since its inception, has been on the forefront of protecting our Second Amendment freedom while counting among its patriotic members eight U.S. presidents: Ulysses S. Grant, Theodore Roosevelt, William Howard Taft, Dwight D. Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy, Richard M. Nixon, Ronald Reagan and Donald J. Trump.
To underscore their commitment to the goals and objectives of the NRA, many of these presidents have been lifetime members, such as Teddy Roosevelt. In 1907, Roosevelt wrote to NRA President James Andrew Drain: “I am so heartily interested in the success of the National Rifle Association of America and the work done in cooperation with the National Board for the encouragement of rifle practice, that I take pleasure in sending you herewith my check for $25 for life membership therein.” His successor, President Taft, another lifetime member, was also greatly interested in the work of the NRA and its efforts to enhance the skills of American riflemen. In more recent history we find that located in California among the personal and presidential papers of President Nixon is his July 1957 lifetime membership in the NRA. A few years later, President Kennedy formally accepted an NRA membership while represented by Chester Clifton, military aide to the president, during a formal presentation on April 28, 1961.
In 1983, President Reagan spoke to members during an NRA annual banquet.
“Being a part of this group, you know that good organizations don’t just happen. They take root in a body of shared beliefs. They grow strong from leadership with vision, initiative, and determination to reach great goals.” During that rousing address, Reagan shared that he had “always felt a special bond” with NRA members.
“Your philosophy put its trust in people. So, you insist on individuals being held responsible for their actions. The NRA believes that America’s laws were made to be obeyed and that our constitutional liberties are just as important today as 200 years ago.”
It is noteworthy that when President Reagan spoke 37 years ago, he discussed the issue of gun control—which we are facing with heightened anti-gun political maneuverings as never before seen. Remarking briefly on the 1982 assassination attempt on him, Reagan declared, “It’s a nasty truth, but those who seek to inflict harm are not fazed by gun control laws. I happen to know this from personal experience.” He noted that “the Constitution does not say that government shall decree the right to keep and bear arms. The Constitution says ‘. . . the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.’”
As we look forward in the coming months and next presidential election in November, we members would do well to look at another NRA lifetime member, President Donald Trump. He knows us and the critical issues we face. And he continues to stand with us at the NRA—just as he has on issues, in his crucial appointments of judges and joining us side-by-side during our 2018 and 2019 Annual Meetings and Exhibits. We need to do all we can to re-elect President Trump so he will continue to protect our Constitution, the Second Amendment and the firearms freedom of law-abiding Americans. Stand and fight with us. We have a country to save.

Why The Democratic Party Turned Against Your Freedom
27.January.2020.
The mainstream media likes to insinuate that the NRA is a partisan organization. It isn’t. Politicians earn their grades and endorsements from them (nrapvf.org/grades) based on how they vote and on what their positions are concerning the Second Amendment. It’s that simple. A politician’s grade has nothing to do with their party affiliation. If it seems as if the NRA is partisan today, this is because the Democratic Party is a much smaller tent than it used to be.
When Barack Obama first won the presidency in 2008, for example, there was a sizeable block of Democratic members of Congress who understood that our Second Amendment freedom is a good thing that must be protected. Many of those Democrats, however, lost their seats in Congress as Obama pushed the party left.
This purge of Democrats in Congress who vote for your Second Amendment rights has continued. Today, the party has pushed out almost all of its pro-freedom politicians. By 2016, in fact, the Democratic Party’s official platform, under Hillary Clinton, was more anti-Second Amendment than it had ever officially been before.
All of the candidates currently fighting for the Democratic Party’s nomination for president want to ban popular semi-automatic rifles; they want to bankrupt America’s gun manufacturers one by one through once again, giving frivolous lawsuits legal cover; they want to nominate judges who don’t believe the Second Amendment is an individual right and so much more.
These extreme positions aren’t even smart politics. Past polling has indicated the number of union households with firearms in them in the United States goes from a low of 40% in California to a high of 60-80% in states like West Virginia, Michigan and North Carolina. The firearm owners in those states want their Second Amendment rights protected. When Democrats go against the Second Amendment, they go also go against a large part of their very own base.
This isn’t true of the Democratic Party in every local election, and I have hope that the Democrats will come to their senses. Nevertheless, the polarization of this issue, which again is coming from the left, is not helping anyone.
So why did the Democratic Party decide that its own party’s platform should blame law-abiding firearm owners for the actions of criminals? Why did their party’s elites purposely expunge rational discussion from their political party with regard to this constitutional issue then?
Here are two huge reasons why.
First, mainstream-media outlets located in big cities along the coasts dominate the conversation on the left. These left-leaning media outlets and their dog-lapping people simply are not interested in honest reporting of firearm issues. Period.
They are instead more solely focused on pushing anti-gun narratives because that sells and that’s what contributes to their bottom line, which is why I always tell everyone that NO news is true news when it is funded by the almighty dollar. It can ONLY be ENTERTAINMENT and NOTHING MORE!
They NEVER host guests who can humanize the freedom side of this issue; for example, when they have little interest in having women on who just used their firearms in legal self-defense of their lives or lives of others.
What these lame-stream media outlets are interested in is pushing gun control to also push their own personal agendas and NOTHING MORE!
One way they do this is by helping candidates who express anti-gun bullshit.
The other big reason is these politicians follow the money. Michael Bloomberg is a good example of the left’s deep-pocketed elites. Bloomberg has long used his $50-plus billion war chest to further restrict or outright take away your right to keep and bear arms. He is now in the race for president and he is spending BIG TIME! Whether Bloomberg wins the Democratic Party’s nomination or not, his money is a real factor in this election. Once again. PERIOD!
Many of the Democrat’s big donors hold fundraisers in places like Beverly Hills and New York City’s Upper East Side. These far-left donors have pushed the Democratic Party further left—especially on issues like Second Amendment rights. These wealthy Democratic donors live behind walls and have armed security—they live separate, elite lives—and they look out over America and think that all those little people between the coasts should not have Constitutional Rights as well as the God-Given Right to the same level of self-protection they themselves afford with their own levels of self-protection they currently enjoy.
_ Voters need to remind them—as they did to Al Gore in 2000 and Hillary Clinton in 2016 that American freedom should not be a partisan issue, and Americans will always stand and fight for their God-Given and Constitutionally backed Second Amendment freedom. Oh….PERIOD!

When Michael Bloomberg, former mayor of New York City and the founder of multiple gun-control groups, announced he was running for president, he also said his news service would not investigate him or his rivals who are vying for the Democratic Party’s nomination. He said Bloomberg News, which has over 2,000 employees, would, however, keep investigating and writing opinion pieces about President Donald J. Trump.
This means that the many reporters with Bloomberg News have basically been given marching orders to openly behave as operatives of the Democratic Party.
This prompted David Martosko, the U.S. politics editor for the Daily Mail, to tweet: “I predict Trump rallies will include this: ‘Is there a Bloomberg reporter back there in the fake news section? They fly on Air Force One every day and chase me around but Little Mike won’t let them investigate ANY Democrats. It’s crooked as hell.'” The possibility of that being said by Trump at a campaign rally was quickly dashed, however, as the Trump administration responded by announcing that Bloomberg’s reporters would not be given press credentials to attend Trump’s campaign events.
The thing is, Bloomberg’s anti-journalistic move is not surprising. His gun-control group Everytown for Gun Safety, for example, already won’t speak with reporters who won’t print its propaganda almost verbatim.
Everytown isn’t interested in honest, bipartisan fact-finding on issues related to guns any more than Bloomberg is in this campaign.
Even Bloomberg’s political website states: “Taking on the Gun Lobby: While other elected officials live in fear of the NRA, Mike has led the effort to stop gun violence and keep communities safe.” This declaration is hardly an attempt to bring people together to find the best ways to reduce homicide rates where they are high, such as in areas with stringent gun-control laws. Rather, it’s a political statement; a declaration from Bloomberg that he intends to do all he can to vanquish his political opponents—meaning you and this civil-liberties association.
This is an election in which Bloomberg is all in with his $55-billion fortune. Whether he is the nominee or not, his money will be a big factor as he attempts to fool people into voting away their freedom for perceived security.
Bloomberg is selling policies that, as in Mexico, Venezuela and the United Kingdom don’t create better, freer and safer communities.
After Bloomberg declared that his large news company would openly behave as a political machine, he went to Colorado to unveil the basic framework of his gun-control agenda, which (no surprises here) includes: So-called “universal” background checks; a new ban on popular semi-automatic rifles and so-called “high-capacity magazines;” raising the age to buy a gun of any type to 21; a two-day waiting period for all gun purchases; a gun-owner licensing scheme; a repeal of the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act so that anti-gun activists can sue a gun maker out of business if a criminal uses its product illegally; and much more.
These are positions that, unfortunately, all of the leading candidates now hoping to be the Democratic nominee pretty much agree on.
Obviously, if you care about American freedom, this is not an election season to be complacent. This is an election in which our freedom will be on the ballot.

Left-leaning mainstream media outlets and politicians would have women believe that guns in the home present a domestic violence hazard. The reality is that women are at a significant physical disadvantage when it comes to being able to defend themselves. And, as we know, a gun is the great equalizer: It puts a woman on equal footing against an attacker who is physically stronger. In fact, guns are more likely to help a trained woman defend her life than to be used against her. The U.S. Department of Justice’s National Crime Victimization Survey canvasses 100,000 people a year and finds that gun ownership is the safest course of action for people — particularly women — who are trying to protect themselves from a violent crime.
These studies and surveys also show us that a woman who behaves passively in the face of an attack is 2.4 times more likely to be seriously injured than a woman who uses a gun to defend herself.
HEARING THEIR STORIES Interestingly enough, there are plenty of examples of women defending their lives with firearms, but when was the last time you heard a left-leaning media organization tell one of those stories? The national media virtually never cover defensive-gun-use stories in which innocent lives are saved.
Instead, coverage tends to be saturated with stories in which guns are used to harm innocent people or in the commission of other crimes. As far as women are concerned, these outlets often only cover stories involving domestic violence or stalking situations in which the victims were badly injured or killed.
I believe it’s high time these success stories are highlighted. And the Crime Prevention Research Center has compiled just a few of the many examples of defensive-gun-use stories that involve domestic violence. These women’s stories need to be recognized, and their voices need to be heard.
Here are only a pitiful handful from just last year alone:
June 7, 2019: A woman in her late 50s shoots and kills her ex-boyfriend in self-defense after he assaults her, threatens to kill her and knocks out one of her teeth.
June 6, 2019: A woman protects herself and her five children by shooting and injuring her ex-boyfriend after he violates an order of protection and tries to break into her house through a window.
May 10, 2019: A District Judge shoots and wounds her husband in their home after he violates an order of protection from abuse.
April 30, 2019: A woman shoots and kills her ex-boyfriend after he breaks into her home. He had sent her text messages all day threatening to kill her.
April 3, 2019: A woman, in fear for her life, shoots and kills her boyfriend after he becomes belligerent and attacks her in her home.
Feb. 14, 2019: A woman protects herself and her teen son by shooting and killing a man after he violently attacks them in their home.
Jan. 6, 2019: A 52-year-old woman shoots and kills a man in her home who breaches an order of protection forbidding him from going near her address.
These stories aren’t just some abstract discussion to me. These women are survivors of violent crime.
I have done my own research on this type of violence to see what ‘they’ suggest. The advice I’ve found tells victims never to go anywhere alone, change her phone number, switch up her routine, warn people close to her about the stalker, abuse or abuser, take notes and keep track of what the perpetrator does, take out a restraining order, move to another location, get a new job … basically to change their entire life.
THIS NEXT PARAGRAPH IS KEY, SO READ IT CAREFULLY!
That kind of advice is re-victimizing someone who is already a victim. I have yet to see anything out there on websites like The National Center for Victims of Crime that tells a victim of stalking or domestic violence to consider getting the best defensive tool possible: a gun. There’s no explanation of the basic human right of self-defense or how to legally act if you find your life in imminent danger.
There’s no advice on steps to legally carry a gun in public to defend yourself against someone you fear may be trying to hurt or kill you. Why is this subject so ignored? Why is it seen as so taboo?
I believe if this advice were given upfront — in a very factual and honest way — it would go a very long way in helping a lot of good people to protect themselves.
Some still believe a restraining order can protect women, but the very sad fact is that a restraining order is nothing more than a piece of paper and worth nothing more than that. The penalty for violating a restraining order is trivial compared to the penalty for assaulting or murdering women or their loved ones.
If a criminal is willing to commit a violent crime, he or she will then have absolutely no problem violating a restraining order. And, unfortunately, real life does not mimic the movies. where a woman can easily knock out the bad guy or run away from a larger attacker.
We often hear how important it is to empower women. I believe women should be empowered to defend themselves however they see fit. And I want them to know that, with proper training, having a gun is viable. potentially life-saving option.
It’s time for the mainstream media to present a more balanced view of gun use in America so women can decide for themselves if having a gun would be beneficial to them or not. It’s their absolute right to choose.

If you or someone you know has ever been involved in an altercation not of your choosing or a life-threatening situation not of your choice where having had a firearm would have legally made a difference, or you or they have been involved in a legally defensible firearm-related incident, then freedom lovers the world over need your help.
Because society will virtually never hear of legal self-defense stories and only hear the maligned and sad stories of defenseless people being murdered with firearms from sick, perverted, twisted, deranged dregs of society, it’s no wonder that citizens, filled with only this one-sided news, feel the need to rid society of firearms, and it is for that very reason, the truth needs to finally come out.
That truth is that there are more people today legally defending themselves with firearms than the public ever gets the chance to read about because that news is just virtually not there.
The time has come to finally get that information fully disseminated and awaken others.
With that stated, The United States Concealed Carry Association (US Concealed Carry Association) USCCA is requesting stories from those that have them to contribute, to please send them to the USCCA.
editor@usconcealedcarry.com
I fully understand any hesitation to do so many may have in fulfilling this request, because you may have seen others talking to the press and then getting hit with piece after piece from them.
I can absolutely and unequivocally guarantee you this.
THIS is NOT that kind of situation or scenario. It just is NOT.
The local or national reporters who you typically watch dragging people through the mud for defending themselves, home or family IS THE DIRECT ENEMY OF THE USCCA.
The goal here is that as the editorial staff for USCCA Magazine try to counter false narratives and false news, they are attempting to put an end to that kind of dishonest, yellow so-called ‘journalism’ and to show Americans the REALITY of responsibly-armed self-defense.
And like their servicing their conceal carry members through education and training, that ability for them to perform that always starts with people like you and me.
Please help in this matter if you can. There is so much at stake here.
