NRA Targets 2016 elections, Raising Massive Warchest
Breitbart ^ | 9/15/15 | Ken Klukowski

Leaders of the National Rifle Association of America plan an unprecedented year-long election campaign to protect the Second Amendment and America’s gun-owning heritage, Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre and his chief lobbyist Chris Cox informed the NRA board of directors at their Fall 2015 meeting last week in Virginia.

“We face a double-barreled threat like we never have before,” LaPierre began to the assembled directors on September 12, at the conclusion of several days of committee meetings. He discussed the anti-gun agenda of the candidates running for the Democratic nomination for president, as well as the challenging Senate map facing the NRA, given which seats are up next year.

LaPierre then pivoted to the third branch of government, noting the opportunity that the next president will have to shape the Supreme Court. An anti-gun president filling just a single vacancy could—depending on the current justice that the new one would replace—shift the balance of the Court. If that happens, LaPierre cautioned, the Second Amendment “as an individual right will be gone for the rest of our lifetimes.”

He then discussed the logistics of their election strategy to avoid that outcome, reminding the board, “NRA has a history of going in and tipping close races.” The NRA needs to raise over $50 million to execute the election strategy that it wants for 2016

Is that Marcus Lutrell I saw on that awesome NRA commercial this weekend?
I know y'all must have seen it - really lays down the gauntlet for American values - sure looked like him.

Hey Wayne,

Are y’all going to continue to support Harry Reid? He leads a party full of gun grabbers...

That was one of the finest commercials I have ever seen. I have seen 3 or 4 different ones from the NRA here recently and they were all excellent, but the one with Marcus was over the top.
