Irresponsible politicians and their media friends have suggested that the NRA wants to make it easier for terrorists to obtain firearms.

This isn’t just wrong, it’s infuriating.

NRA members have given their lives fighting this war on terror. When it comes to national security, we take a backseat to no one. If an investigation uncovers evidence of terrorist activity or involvement, the government should be allowed to immediately go to court, block the sale and arrest the terrorist.

We must also uphold due process protections that allow law-abiding Americans who are wrongly put on a watchlist to be removed. The NRA will not let President Obama and Hillary Clinton distract attention away from their repeated failure to keep us safe. They apologize for America and our way of life, and accuse you of bigotry if you call the enemy who they are—”radical Islamic terrorists.”

Make no mistake—the NRA will fight without apology to protect the rights of law-abiding Americans to defend themselves. We will not back down one inch in the face of those who want to eliminate our American freedom.
