Your NRA-ILA Daily Alert 12-28-2016

A Historic Election Brings New Opportunities For Second Amendment Supporters – November 6, 2012, was a difficult day. As I thought about what I could say in these pages as we contemplated another four years with Barack Obama as president and Joe Biden as vice president, I recalled the words of Alexis de Tocqueville, one of the keenest observers of American democracy. “The greatness of America lies,” de Tocqueville wrote, “in her ability to repair her faults. So starting Nov. 7, 2012, that’s what your NRA set out to do: to continue the hard work of protecting our rights and to try to set the stage to repair the damage that eight years of an Obama administration would inflict.
