Gun Groups on Trump Victory

In a joint statement, the Second Amendment Foundation and Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms congratulated the nation’s gun owners for making possible Tuesday’s victory that will send Donald J. Trump to the White House in 2017.

SAF and CCRKBA also offer their sincere congratulations to President-elect Trump and Vice President-elect Mike Pence for their historic and stunning victory, and especially for Mr. Trump’s gracious call for unity among all Americans.

“What happened Tuesday night was a reaffirmation that Americans can make the system work, and that this nation’s gun owners are a cornerstone of that system,” said SAF founder and Executive Vice President Alan M. Gottlieb. “It cannot be ignored that this nation’s tens of millions of honest firearms owners turned out to protect their constitutional rights. From the outset, Mr. Trump made it clear that the Second Amendment will be safe on his watch.

“While America’s hard-working gun owners can celebrate the victory they helped make possible,” added Gottlieb, who also chairs the CCRKBA, “we must remain mindful that the gun prohibition lobby, which is largely funded by elitist billionaires like Michael Bloomberg, will almost certainly double down on their efforts to erode our Second Amendment rights at the state level, whenever and wherever they can.

The ammosexuals are gloating over Dumpie Trumpie's "victory" even though he didn't win the popular vote. Even on DU (when they can spare time away from CC) they are celebrating the Trumper's pro gun victory, and bragging about Hillary's loss to the "gun vote."

The dwindling right-wing gun culture may have won a temporary battle, but the war rages on, and more and more gun control victories are being won at local legislative levels which will spread to the national level in due time.

continues the narrative of gun owners and their rights as being under constant attack, thus fostering a bunker mentality among gun owners.

they are always the victims, hence the need for self-defense from their imaginary Liberal goblins.

Lawyers for a Safer America (LSA) is a national alliance of lawyers and law firms that actively partner with the Legal Action Project to reduce gun violence in America through the courts.

While stronger gun violence prevention policies are needed to protect our communities, the gun lobby and gun criminals have launched a broad legal assault on existing gun laws. Lawyers for a Safer America brings together a strong alliance of legal talent to counter the gun lobby’s well-financed and far-reaching efforts.

Just as lawyers helped lead the fight for civil rights, the legal community today can help lead America’s fight to reduce gun violence.

We are recruiting lawyers to join Lawyers for a Safer America, a legal alliance of the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence. Add your voice to our growing ranks. Your membership helps us expand our influence, credibility and expertise. Your contributions help us establish new law aimed at reducing gun violence and saving lives.

Most, if not all, likely to be challenged in court and eventually overturned by the Supreme Court.
