TOWNHALL: NSSF Sends Letter to President Obama Defending Firearms Industry From Smears

Katie Pavlich | Jan 20, 2016

The National Shooting Sports Foundation has sent President Obama a letter in a Washington Post advertisement today defending the firearms industry against his repeated smears. The letter also highlights all of the work done over the years to improve firearms safety. The entire letter below is worth a read.

Dear Mr. President:

The men and women of America’s firearms and ammunition industry are profoundly disappointed by your statements that we stand in the way of improving public safety.

We are America’s gun safety experts, in the true meaning of that phrase. We provide the firearms to our nation’s military, law enforcement agencies and the civilian market for hunting, target shooting and self-defense.
