NRA-PVF Endorses Mitt Romney
and Paul Ryan for President and Vice
President
Fairfax, VA. - The National Rifle Association's Political Victory Fund
today announced its endorsement of Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan for
President and Vice President. NRA’s Executive Vice President, Wayne
LaPierre, and NRA Political Victory Fund (NRA-PVF) Chairman, Chris W.
Cox, made the announcement in Fishersville, Virginia, during a rally
with both Gov. Mitt Romney and Rep. Paul Ryan in attendance. Also,
attending and performing at the press conference was country music
superstar and NRA Life Member Trace Adkins.
“Virginia is ground zero – the front line of this election. This is
where the race could be won or lost. This is where the difference can
be made. This is where gun owners must make that difference.” said
LaPierre.
“Today, we live in an America that is getting harder to recognize every
day led by a President who mocks our values, belittles our faith, and
is threatened by our freedom.” said Cox. “So on behalf of the four
million men and women of the National Rifle Association, representing
tens of millions of NRA supporters, it is my honor to announce the
NRA’s endorsement of Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan for President and Vice
President of the United States.”
The actions of President Barack Obama have harmed the Second Amendment
for generations to come. He has appointed two anti-gun nominees to the
Supreme Court – one of whom has already signed an opinion saying that
law-abiding Americans do not have an individual right to own firearms.
Obama’s administration worked on a United Nations Arms Trade Treaty
that would undermine our Second Amendment rights, and he has helped
cover-up the deadly Operation Fast and Furious scandal, arming Mexican
drug cartels that continue to kill countless innocent American and
Mexican citizens. He has also said that the ability of lawful citizens
to carry a firearm for personal protection should be banned nationwide.
As a state legislator, he opposed a law to protect people who use guns
in their own homes for self-defense; endorsed a total ban on the
manufacturing, sale and possession of all handguns; and supported a 500
percent increase in federal taxes on guns and ammunition. Unaccountable
to the voters, America’s 100 million gun owners justifiably fear that a
second Obama term would bring an all-out assault on the Second
Amendment.
But there’s a clear choice this November. Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan
will protect our Right to Keep and Bear Arms by appointing Supreme
Court justices who will uphold the rulings in District of Columbia v.
Heller and McDonald v. City of Chicago – two landmark cases which held
that the Second Amendment guarantees a fundamental, individual Right to
Keep and Bear Arms for all law-abiding Americans. Romney and Ryan have
also stated their opposition to efforts by the United Nations to
implement a global gun-control bureaucracy.
“In this election, there is no debate. There is only one choice – only
one hope – to save our firearms freedom and our way of life,” LaPierre
continued. “Get to the polls on election day and make the difference in
this campaign. Help take back our country and protect our freedom. On
November 6, vote freedom first – Vote Romney-Ryan!”
