Presidential Message on National Shooting Sports Month 2020<\/a><\/p>\n

During National Shooting Sports Month, we commemorate our Constitutional right to bear arms by celebrating America\u2019s cherished past time of recreational and competitive shooting sports.<\/p>\n

Our great Nation has a rich history of fostering responsible gun ownership.\u00a0 In the early days of our Republic, turkey shoots encouraged community engagement and brought families closer together.\u00a0 As our country grew, these local events developed into large regional and national events and competitions that drew thousands of spectators.\u00a0 By the late 19th century, sharpshooters such as Pawnee Bill and Annie Oakley established popular shows with Wild West and other themes, touring the country with acts featuring their talent with firearms.\u00a0 These pioneering American folk heroes demonstrated the courage, skill, and persistence necessary to excel in shooting sports and that reflect our founding values.\u00a0 Today, we continue to promote interest in such social pastimes that celebrate our rich and unique history of shooting sports.<\/p>\n

As we encourage our fellow Americans to take part in learning more about firearms this month, including safety and proper instruction, we also pledge to continue doing our part to ensure that our rights are never infringed upon.\u00a0 Enshrined in the Bill of Rights, our Second Amendment protects the individual liberties of Americans to keep and bear arms.\u00a0 Since my first day in office, I have made clear that my Administration will always protect and defend the Second Amendment.\u00a0 We will continue to oppose those individuals and policies that attempt to tread on this essential and cherished liberty.<\/p>\n

This National Shooting Sports Month, I ask those Americans who currently participate in shooting sports to share this cherished tradition with others.\u00a0 Together, we can proudly ensure that the next generation knows how to safely and responsibly enjoy their Second Amendment freedoms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
