There were bright spots here and there, but there’s no mistaking the outcome of the November midterm elections. The National Rifle Association (NRA) surveyed the aftermath and declared the results “were not what gun owners wanted.”
To say the least.
Watch for sudden renewed interest in tighter gun control policies
Those who would shred the Second Amendment into meaninglessness are undoubtedly renewed in the battle against the right to keep and bear arms. This despite gun control being collateral damage in an election cycle, the NRA noted, that did not focus heavily on the issue.
To be sure, billionaire anti-gun forces dug deep to get their messaging out there, and they emerged victorious.
And those candidates who tried their best to cloak their animosity toward firearms are now free to show their true leanings. No more lip service to the proud American tradition of sport shooting; the gloves can and certainly will come off.
Election winners are now free to disavow moderate gun rights views
The NRA used Virginia as a prime example of the stealth nature of many anti-gun candidates.
“Abigail Spanberger ran as a moderate, rarely pressing the issue of firearms,” the group noted. “Once elected, however, she presided over the single largest binge of gun control the Old Dominion had ever seen. This included a ban on America’s most popular and iconic rifle, the AR-15. It also included a law specifically designed to allow anti-gun activists to sue law-abiding gun industry members for the acts of unaffiliated third-party criminals.”
The sheep’s clothing came off quickly in Virginia, as it certainly will in Washington. Hard-fought progress on gun rights will be challenged, and the DOJ’s recent push to uphold the Second Amendment will be viciously opposed.
And that makes the fine work performed every single day by the NRA and other gun rights stalwarts even more critical.
There’s no better way to show your patriotism than with merch that speaks before you do.
Defend America is more than a name, it’s a stand for freedom, resilience, and the values this country was built on. Every tee, hat, and mug is a symbol of unapologetic pride. Wear it loud, wear it proud, and let the world know: freedom isn’t negotiable.
