NBC News lies;

Statement from Chris W. Cox, NRA-ILA Executive Director, regarding inaccurate NBC story alleging that NRA won't oppose background check bill

An article appearing today on NBCNews.com is falsely reporting that NRA will not oppose legislation being negotiated in the U.S. Senate that would mandate background checks for all gun purchasers.

The story posted on NBCNews.com alleges that NRA will not oppose expanding the background check system to include all private firearm sales, "provided the legislation does not require private gun sellers to maintain records of the checks". This statement is completely untrue. The NRA opposes criminalizing private firearms transfers between law-abiding individuals, and therefore opposes an expansion of the background check system.

The NRA supports meaningful efforts to address the problems of violent crime and mass violence in America, through swift and certain prosecution of violent criminals; securing our schools; and fixing our broken mental health system.

I hope the NRA is going to the effort to make sure every Senator is aware of this hoax by NBC.

We can help on that point...

worth repeating...a statement from Chris Cox, NRA-ILA Executive Director:

The story posted on NBCNews.com alleges that NRA will not oppose expanding the background check system to include all private firearm sales, "provided the legislation does not require private gun sellers to maintain records of the checks".
This statement is completely untrue.

The way NBC and Team Obama the Assclown work to dispirit conservatives and Republicans ought to be well-known by now. We need to quit falling for such crap. Boycott NBC advertisers, tell them why.

Don't feed the beast.

If it's good enough for the Zimmerman 911 tape, it's good enough for the NRA.
