NRA VICTORY: Arkansas Gov. @AsaHutchinson signs NRA-backed STAND YOUR GROUND legislation into law! Law-abiding citizens will no longer be required by law to retreat before using force to defend themselves. Further, victims of violent crime who respond with defensive force while protecting themselves should not have to face the additional threat of criminal/civil prosecution.

NEWS: Victory in New Mexico!

The @NRA won. The rights of law-abiding New Mexicans to purchase a firearm and go to the range have been vindicated. Image In April, the NRA—along with the @NM_SSA, @2AFDN, @gunpolicy, and @MSLF — filed suit in federal court against Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham for shuttering retail firearms businesses and ranges due to COVID-19.

As a direct result of our lawsuit, the Governor changed course.

1/ Founded in 1871, NRA began by dedicating itself to the safety of American soldiers.

Because of the efforts of the NRA over the ensuing century and a half, many more soldiers have been able to accomplish their missions and to return home alive. THREAD⬇️americas1stfreedom.org/articles/2020/… 2/ When leading generals of the Union Army met in New York in 1871 to found the NRA, they decided to address a problem the Civil War had made manifest.

The Confederate Army had been full of soldiers who had grown up on farms, learned to hunt and were proficient marksmen.

New Mexico @GovMLG joined former weed killer PR executive and Bloomberg's chief apologist @shannonrwatts for a conversation filled with inaccuracies.

In this thread, we give you the highlights of how the governor twisted the truth to impress Shannon. ⬇️ Image 1) @GovMLG claimed to have "won" the COVID-related lawsuit the NRA and other groups filed against her when she was forced to open gun stores incrementally.

(1/18) We want to express our deepest sympathies to the families and victims in El Paso and Dayton.

As always, the NRA will work in good faith to pursue real solutions to the violence we witnessed this past weekend. (2/18) Real solutions save lives – televised, choreographed spectacles don’t.

In support of this goal, we appreciate the need for honest and open dialogue on how to stop these horrific murders.

(1/8) For all those exploiting the tragedy in #Illinois and insisting that expanding a broken and ineffective background check system will prevent criminals from accessing guns. Please consider the #facts. (2/8) In 1995, the shooter was convicted of a felony prohibiting him from owning a firearm. #facts

(1/5) The gun control lobby likes to cite that 97 percent of Americans support so-called universal background checks. That is not accurate. Even in the most liberal anti-gun states, the measures did not come close to garnering 97 percent of the vote. (2/5) In some instances, they failed to get a majority of the vote or barely passed. The following ballot initiatives on so-called universal background checks show the statewide support in the context of how much money gun control advocates spent versus those opposed to it.
