NSSF Campaign Highlights Gun Owners’ Concern for Safety

NSSF Launches Campaign to Highlight Gun Owners’ Contributions and Concern for Safety and Community

Gun Owners CareSM Pushes Back Against Shaming Good and Responsible Citizens

LAS VEGAS — With gun owners increasingly the target of efforts to shame and disrespect them simply for exercising their constitutional right to own a firearm, the National Shooting Sports Foundation® (NSSF®) is responding with a campaign to educate the public about the care gun owners have for their neighbors and communities.

NSSF has launched the Gun Owners Care initiative because it believes members of the firearms-owning community deserve respect for being good, concerned citizens and proud defenders of a unique American heritage.

“Gun owners are your neighbors, co-workers, parishioners, community leaders, politicians, doctors and others you interact with in everyday life,” said NSSF President and CEO Joe Bartozzi. “Gun owners are not uncommon—we number 100 million in America—and we’re certainly not on the fringe of society, as some try to make people believe. Gun owners abhor the misuse of firearms as much as anyone, and they work to promote firearm safety and to better their communities as much as anyone. In short, gun owners care.” Read more
