The National Rifle Association has bought its largest television advertising bloc to date for a spot supporting Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, according to multiple media reports.
The NRA will spend $6.5 million on an ad featuring a woman who fought off an attacker in a parking garage by wielding the pistol she carries in her purse. The woman, Kristi McMains, looks into the camera and praises Trump for supporting the Second Amendment.
"Every woman has a right to own a gun if she chooses. Hillary Clinton disagrees with that," McMains says. "Donald Trump supports my right to own a gun."
The NRA said the ad, which began airing Wednesday and will run through most of October, is appearing on broadcast stations in five battleground states: Ohio, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Virginia. It is also running nationally on cable.
Other NRA ads have been critical of Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, as well. With the $6.5 million purchase, the NRA's total spending on television ads in the presidential campaign now stands at $17 million.
Nice! Here in Nevada they’ve already been hammering Dingy Harry’s would-be successor, so the ground has been softened up already.
I just love what I believe is the national AD campaign the NRA has been running for the past year. The “I am the NRA” ADs with personal testimonials by usually well known people. They are just great, and should win awards for this great AD campaign, but of course that would not be politically correct, so therefore the ADs will win nothing, but they sure won my heart. I love them.
Didn’t the NRA say earlier this year they were going to spend their money on the congressional races but not for Trump? Or was that some other group?
$6.5 million?
I’m glad those spammers and junk mailers finally dug into their pockets for something.
The “Freedom’s Safest Place” Ads are excellent also.
Good! My NRA money is going to a good cause!
Good. Sounds like it’s frank and direct, which is what political ads need to be in this age of deceit and weasel wording.
Dig deeper, Wayne dig deeper. Your very life depends on it.
Mine too.

Some other Group.
The NRA endorsed Trump much earlier than they usually do a presidential candidate.
All I’ve seen in the Cleveland/Akron area are Reptillary ads.
NRA endorsed Trump at their Convention, May 20.
If we lose lapierre may be on Hillarys “drone” wish list...
Are there many female gun owners who would vote for Hillary if they didn’t see this ad?
Same here in Southeastern NC - at least 10 to 15 Hillary ads to 1 Trump/ Trump related PAC ad. What happened to the $140 mil ad buy that Trump supposedly made 3 weeks ago? It hasn't shown up here so far.
I listen to Bob Golic’s show on WNIR from Kent Ohio. The pro Reptillary ads have to be driving him crazy! And the ads are so dishonest!
