The National Rifle Association stepped up its attack on Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton, issuing a “clarion call” to its 5 million members to stop her or watch their freedom — and guns — be taken away.
Executive Director Wayne LaPierre, in a column online and in the September issue of NRA America’s 1st Freedom magazine, also accused Clinton of lying about gun violence in the country and making up crimes to target that are already illegal under current laws.
“Truth? That is a singularly out-of-place word to be used in the same sentence with Hillary Clinton,” he wrote. “For as long as she has been in politics, Clinton has been accurately tagged as a ‘serial liar’ and ‘congenital liar.'”
He cited several past anti gun positions by Clinton and warned that she would arrive in the White House ready to support a gun buyback and install anti-gun judges in the Supreme Court and lower courts.
“Promising to move way beyond President Barack Obama’s usurpation of executive power when it comes to gun ownership, Clinton says, ‘I really support everything President Obama said he would do through regulation on guns but we’re going to start the very first day and tackle the gun lobby,'” wrote LaPierre.
“That is a clarion call for us. A Hillary Clinton White House would be ground zero for a massive attack on our freedom. We as NRA members have to work at it every day to defeat Clinton. We must reach everyone we know with a message for a secure future—the one we want for our children—with its cornerstone of enduring freedom,” he concluded.
