"Fairfax, Va. – The National Rifle Association of America is made up of over 4 million moms and dads, daughters and sons, who are involved in the national conversation about how to prevent a tragedy like Newtown from ever happening again. We attended today's White House meeting to discuss how to keep our children safe and were prepared to have a meaningful conversation about school safety, mental health issues, the marketing of violence to our kids and the collapse of federal prosecutions of violent criminals.

We were disappointed with how little this meeting had to do with keeping our children safe and how much it had to do with an agenda to attack the Second Amendment. While claiming that no policy proposals would be “prejudged,” this Task Force spent most of its time on proposed restrictions on lawful firearms owners - honest, taxpaying, hardworking Americans. It is unfortunate that this Administration continues to insist on pushing failed solutions to our nation's most pressing problems. We will not allow law-abiding gun owners to be blamed for the acts of criminals and madmen. Instead, we will now take our commitment and meaningful contributions to members of congress of both parties who are interested in having an honest conversation about what works - and what does not.

Saw that a few minutes ago. Can't say I'm surprised, I can say it's aggravating.

Aggravating is a slight understatement ;) Glad that they are going to congress now to get things done, and hopefully it will. I also saw that in 18 days, the NRA gained over 100k new paid member. Their goal is to have 5 million before all the heat on this settles.

Sweet, good on you mate! I have been HIGHLY thinking of sending a donation to them. I have the cheap 25/year membership, but since all this started, I feel I need to send a little more.
