Statement From the NRA Regarding Today’s White House Task Force Meeting

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.

More Window Dressing for Chicago

Chicago has big trouble with violence, yet has the most stringent gun control laws in the nation.  The answer:  more gun control.  Its  Public Health Committee of the state Senate quickly approved bills that  would ban the sale of semi-automatic firearms and high-capacity magazines during  the lame-duck session, but it seems to be going nowhere.  We all know, however, that the results of the bill will go nowhere in preventing its citizens from perpetrating evil.  Much like the failed war on drugs, there cannot be control without addressing demand.  And, in this case the “demand” is that crime pays.
