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.

Survey: Americans Won’t Give Up Guns

In a Fox News survey, two-thirds of Americans said they would “defy” a federal gun ban and keep their guns if the government ever passed a law to “take your guns.”

The survey asked respondents, “If the government passed a law to take your guns, would you give up your guns or defy the law and keep your guns?”

Sixty-five percent of those surveyed said they would “defy the law.” Specifically, 70% of Republicans, 68% of conservatives, 52% of Democrats, and 59% of liberals said they would “defy” a federal gun ban to keep their guns.

The poll surveyed 1,008 registered U.S. voters between Jan. 15-17.

Home Invader Stopped by Armed Woman with Kids

A woman with twin daughters taught an intruder she was nobody to mess with.  The bad guy searched for her and when he opened a door to a crawl space where she was hiding with the girls, she opened fire.  The six-shooter was emptied with five bullets hitting their mark.  The scumbag tried to escape but crashed his car and collapsed.  When the police arrived he cried for them to help him.  So sad.  Details of the encounter are here…

Survey Finds NRA Members United

FAIRFAX, Va. – The National Rifle Association Institute for Legislative Action conducted a national scientific poll of its members and found near unanimity among NRA members on a wide range of issues involving mental health reform and firearm rights.

Gun control advocates including New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, as well as various media outlets, have released data claiming to represent the views of NRA members, despite the fact that none of those surveys had access to the NRA’s membership list. The NRA survey of 1,000 randomly-selected NRA members across the country is the only legitimate survey of NRA members in existence. Read more
