The nation’s two major gun organizations are warning against a Hillary Clinton presidency, with the National Rifle Association claiming that her goal is a “post freedom America.”
In a new and impassioned plea to his five million Americans to vote against the Democrat, NRA Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre said that gun owners are “a special forces that swing an election and I need you now more than ever.”
The president of the industry lobby, the National Shooting Sports Foundation, added in their own video that the livelihoods of gun companies and sellers are at stake. “Don’t sit this one out,” said NSSF President Steve Sanetti.
In what’s been described as the biggest campaign by Second Amendment proponents, both the NRA and NSSF are rounding up their troops to halt Clinton’s march to the White House. They have spent millions and are now messaging directly to their members.
LaPierre’s video lasts almost seven minutes and details a litany of problems he said has hurt the nation under President Obama. He then says that Clinton will make it worse in part by coming for America’s 300 million guns.
“If, God forbid, Hillary Clinton is elected she will launch an all-out war on the Second Amendment,” he said.
“She will come for your guns, she will attack your right to carry, she will attack your most basic right to defend your family with a firearm in your home. And she will continue the disastrous policies of this administration to their inevitable conclusion, the creation of a new post freedom America,” LaPierre said.
