President’s Column

I can’t believe it’s been seven months since I was elected NRA president, and I’m already composing my eighth President’s Column. The officers never fully anticipated or appreciated the immense challenges we faced when elected.

WE ARE THE NRA ... Freedom’s Safest Place. We protect, defend and promote the fundamental right of every law-abiding American to safely and responsibly exercise our God-given Constitutional right to keep and bear arms for defense of self, family, home, state and country, as well as for hunting and recreation, now and for future generations.

I dedicate this column to the ongoing monumental change and transformation of the NRA. The NRA has experienced an impressive history of success over the last 154 years.

Hard work is paying off and the future looks bright for this organization.

The feedback of NRA members is vital.

The NRA is refocusing on its mission of promoting and protecting your Second Amendment rights, hunting and conservation, competitive and sport shooting and firearm safety and training for the benefit of all Americans.

The NRA has weathered one storm after another and is stronger for having done such.

We are at a pivotal point in this organization’s history.

The more we know, and can share with others, the better we can protect the Second Amendment against encroachments.
