The NRA is where you resist, and stand and fight to put America back on track to restore and preserve our individual freedom.

After Hurricane Sandy, we saw the hellish world that the gun prohibitionists see as their utopia. Looters ran wild in south Brooklyn. There was no food, water or electricity. And if you wanted to walk several miles to get supplies, you better get back before dark, or you might not get home at all.

A gun in the hands of a secret service agent protecting our president isn't a bad word.

For Obama, 'rule of law' is merely his political silly-putty.

Evil walks among us, and God help us if we don't harden our schools and protect our kids.

Parents all over the country are using their right to keep and bear arms to protect their kids.

If you aren't free to protect yourself when the government puts its thumb on that freedom, then you're not free at all.

I tell gun owners and hunters and sportsmen and Second Amendment supporters and Americans every day that all of these freedoms we have are just words on a piece of parchment paper unless we stand up and defend them every day.

If you aren't free to protect yourself - when government puts its thumb on that freedom - then you aren't free at all.

Our Founding Fathers knew that without Second Amendment freedom, all of our freedoms could be in jeopardy.

History has proven again the truth that President Obama and anti-freedom activists everywhere deny and try to suppress - the truth that firearms in the hands of good people save lives.

These zealots for disarming individual Americans choose not to recognize the basic notion that defines American freedom: the difference between a good guy with a gun and a bad guy with a gun.
