NRA announces $6.5M ad buy for Trump in swing states

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.

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.
