NRA on Fox Super Sunday

The battle to save our Second Amendment freedoms is raging right now.
And if you saw any coverage of this week’s Senate hearings on gun control, you know the media elites and the gun ban lobby are running wild with half-truths, deceptions, and downright lies about you, me and our gun rights.

So I’m going on Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace to set the record straight! Please watch at 9:00 a.m. ET this Sunday – and tell your family, friends and fellow gun owners to watch as well.

Mandeville, LA – In only three weeks, radio and TV host Tom Gresham has delivered more than 6,000 new life members to the NRA, amounting to more than $2,000,000. Gresham announced a special Lifetime Membership deal with the NRA on Thursday, January 10, via Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/Guntalk. The next day, the deal was sent out in Gresham’s Truth Squad newsletter (http://www.guntalk.com/site7.php). The following Sunday, it was announced live on Gun Talk Radio (http://www.guntalk.com). “It’s amazing to see the response to this offer,” said Tom Gresham. “Clearly, many people want to support gun rights, and they recognize the value of the NRA. Adding more than six thousand new life members in less than three weeks is incredible. There’s no telling how many will join over the next month.” Read more

Statement from Chris W. Cox Regarding “Universal” Background Checks

An article appearing on TheHill.com yesterday asserted that Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.V.) is working on a bill with the NRA that would implement universal background checks.
NRA does NOT support universal background checks and is not working with Manchin to implement this type of legislation.  NRA opposes, and will continue to oppose, universal background checks and registration schemes.
We do believe that records of those who are prohibited by law from purchasing firearms (including those whose mental health history puts them in this category) ought to be included in the federal instant check system.
