Presidential Message on National Shooting Sports Month 2020

During National Shooting Sports Month, we commemorate our Constitutional right to bear arms by celebrating America’s cherished past time of recreational and competitive shooting sports.

Our great Nation has a rich history of fostering responsible gun ownership. In the early days of our Republic, turkey shoots encouraged community engagement and brought families closer together. As our country grew, these local events developed into large regional and national events and competitions that drew thousands of spectators. 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. These pioneering American folk heroes demonstrated the courage, skill, and persistence necessary to excel in shooting sports and that reflect our founding values. Today, we continue to promote interest in such social pastimes that celebrate our rich and unique history of shooting sports.

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. Enshrined in the Bill of Rights, our Second Amendment protects the individual liberties of Americans to keep and bear arms. Since my first day in office, I have made clear that my Administration will always protect and defend the Second Amendment. We will continue to oppose those individuals and policies that attempt to tread on this essential and cherished liberty.

This National Shooting Sports Month, I ask those Americans who currently participate in shooting sports to share this cherished tradition with others. Together, we can proudly ensure that the next generation knows how to safely and responsibly enjoy their Second Amendment freedoms.

The empty shelves indicate that no encouragement is needed.

The following article reveals details about one of the worst threats to our Second Amendment rights. If we lose the Senate and the Executive, that will be all she wrote.

Newt Gingrich: Dems’ attempt to flip Senate could be determined by this Republican primary Tuesday

See the part about the Democrats’ “Sunflower State PAC,” “Old Town Media,” “Unite the Country,” “Amalgamated Bank” and “Senate Majority PAC.” The Democrats are throwing many millions of dollars into supporting Kobach and stopping Marshall in the primary.

And it looks like there’s nothing wrong with Marshall’s positions. He looks like a conservative on everything including Second Amendment rights.
