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 agree. Very effective ad campaign
Not running in Florida, which means they think they have FL locked. VA and PA are interesting, especially PA which is a big gun state and Open carry. Must be very close there. NC is my concern state for Trump, although I think he is ahead, though not by much.
Many thanks to the NRA...
