Shannon Watts says she will counter the NRA's "guns for anyone, anywhere, anytime" message [View all]
The National Rifle Association is hosting its annual meeting this weekend in Louisville and, as is tradition, the presumptive Republican nominee for president, Donald Trump, is expected to deliver a speech kowtowing to the most extreme elements of the NRA and its leadership.
The NRA’s agenda to ensure guns for anyone, anywhere, anytime – no questions asked – will be presented without irony, even though guns will be banned from the venue when Trump speaks, and even though the vast majority of NRA members and gun owners support strengthening gun laws.
That’s why, as founder of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, part of Everytown for Gun Safety, I will also be in Louisville this weekend, along with grassroots volunteers and survivors of gun violence. Since the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School, we have become the counterweight to the Washington gun lobby, representing millions of Americans who will no longer allow the gun lobby to write our nation’s gun laws.
While candidate Trump exhorts the crowd to make America great again, we will demand political leaders Make America Safe Again.
