National Rifle Association: “I don’t carry a gun to take life but to defend it”
In a more realistic tweet, The NRA on Sunday wrote: “I don’t carry a gun to take life.” “I carry a gun to defend life.”
I don’t carry a gun to take life.
I carry a gun to defend life.

The Second Amendment ensures that Americans can protect themselves, their families and their businesses, especially when the government is unwilling or unable to do so
Amid violence and riots, the rule of law has been abandoned by the same elected officials who swore to uphold it. Many Americans are indeed now choosing to exercise their Second Amendment rights; a national indicator for gun sales is at an all-time high.
The promotion of civil unrest and the systematic destruction of neighborhoods and businesses have been permitted with limited consequences under the guise of the First Amendment’s protection of the right to protest. Yet when the case for protecting the Second Amendment couldn’t be stronger to reasonable Americans.
In a blistering tweet, the NRA warned “If Joe Biden wins, he will destroy our Second Amendment, and America will become unrecognizable.”
The gun rights organization also shared a video and wrote “Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have both voiced support for a government-mandated buyback (code for CONFISCATION) of AR-15s and other commonly-owned semi-automatic rifles.”

The NRA endorsed President Trump’s re-election bid last month: “On behalf of America’s 5 million NRA members, the National Rifle Association Political Victory Fund (NRA-PVF) is proud to endorse your reelection as president of the United States of America,” the NRA’s PAC said in a letter to Trump. “You have done more than any president to protect the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms. The NRA stands behind you and your administration.”
