NRA Launches New Television Ad in
Support of Donald Trump
FAIRFAX,
Va.—The National Rifle Association Political Victory Fund (NRA-PVF)
today launched a new $3 million TV ad buy making the case that Hillary
Clinton is an out of touch, hypocritical politician who would leave the
American people defenseless. This ad helps highlight the fact
that the right of law-abiding Americans to keep a firearm in their
homes for self-protection is on the ballot in this presidential
election. The ad, titled “Defenseless”, began airing this week on
national cable as well as local broadcast stations in key battleground
states, including Pennsylvania, Ohio, Nevada and North Carolina. It is
the third installment in a series of ads by the NRA-PVF.
“Hillary Clinton has supported the concept of confiscating firearms
from law-abiding citizens. Despite what she says to try and get
elected, she would stack the Supreme Court with anti-gun justices who
would overturn our fundamental right of self-protection. So it is not
an understatement to say that the future of American freedom is at
stake in November,” said Chris W. Cox, chairman of NRA's Political
Victory Fund.
In a candid moment, Hillary Clinton told an audience of supporters that
“The Supreme Court is wrong on the Second Amendment, and I’m going to
make that case every chance I get.” She was referring to the landmark
case of District of Columbia v. Heller, in which the Court held that
the Second Amendment guarantees an individual right to keep and bear
arms.
The ad highlights the hypocrisy of Hillary Clinton’s views on the
Second Amendment and reveals her as a political elitist who is out of
touch with the American people.
“The choice to own a firearm doesn’t belong to the government -- it is
an individual freedom,” continued Cox. “So it is too important to be
subject to one set of rules for political elites like Hillary Clinton,
and a different set for the rest of us.”
