The NRA speaks out concerning its meeting with Joe Biden. Turns out the Administration is thinking about punishing gun owners more than it is thinking about serious solutions and meaningful reforms.



Fairfax, Va. – The National Rifle Association of America is made up of over 4 million moms and dads, daughters and sons, who are involved in the national conversation about how to prevent a tragedy like Newtown from ever happening again.  We attended today's White House meeting to discuss how to keep our children safe and were prepared to have a meaningful conversation about school safety, mental health issues, the marketing of violence to our kids and the collapse of federal prosecutions of violent criminals. 

We were disappointed with how little this meeting had to do with keeping our children safe and how much it had to do with an agenda to attack the Second Amendment.  While claiming that no policy proposals would be “prejudged,” this Task Force spent most of its time on proposed restrictions on lawful firearms owners - honest, taxpaying, hardworking Americans.  It is unfortunate that this Administration continues to insist on pushing failed solutions to our nation's most pressing problems.  We will not allow law-abiding gun owners to be blamed for the acts of criminals and madmen.  Instead, we will now take our commitment and meaningful contributions to members of congress of both parties who are interested in having an honest conversation about what works - and what does not.

Gun ownership, as a category, is growing because of the current debate. Anyone see the humor in that ??



You should know that the NRA has gained more than 100,000 new members in the past three weeks taking its membership from 4.1 million to 4.2.  The NRA’s membership goal is 5 million before the current debate over gun control is over.  Since gun ownership is not the problem,  this stat should not be the cause of any concern,  but watch for the reaction of those who want to divest the general population of any means for protecting itself.  

(As reported by Fox) - Did you know that Harry Reid put a clause in the ObamaCare bill that prohibits the federal government from keeping track of individual gun owners?   That is why you are not hearing much coming his blow-hole during this particular debate.
