Washington D.C.–The National Association for Gun Rights releases statement opposing Sen. John Cornyn’s (R-TX) official announcement launching his bid to replace Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY).
“Cornyn is the most anti-gun Republican in Congress,” said Dudley Brown, President of the National Association for Gun Rights. “His sponsorship of ‘Fix NICS’ and proud role in passing the largest gun control bill in decades (Biden’s so-called Bipartisan Safer Communities Act) is repulsive to law-abiding gun owners.”
POLITICO reports: The President, in fact, also sees Cornyn as critical; the Senator’s staff is in touch with the White House on guns and Biden recently described the Texan as a “rational Republican.” “People are going to say what they’re going to say,” Cornyn said. “But I’m happy to be part of the coalition of the rational.”
“When the most anti-gun President in history calls an anti-gun Republican ‘rational’ that should set off alarm bells in every law-abiding gun owners’ head,” concluded Brown.
The National Association for Gun Rights is calling on its members and all law-abiding gun rights supporters to call the Senate Republican Conference (202-224-2764) and tell them that they oppose Sen. Cornyn’s bid for Republican Senate Leader.
The National Association for Gun Rights is the nation’s largest “no compromise” pro-gun organization, with 4.5 million members nationwide.
