WASHINGTON, D.C. – NSSF’s Protect Liberty Political Action Committee (Protect Liberty PAC) announced it has received a $40,000 contribution from Range USA to support the election of candidates who will protect America’s liberty and our freedoms, especially the Second Amendment which is under constant attack by Vice President Kamala Harris, the new presumptive Democratic nominee for president.
“If elected to the presidency, Vice President Kamala Harris would be even more hostile to the firearm industry and the Second Amendment than President Joe Biden has been with the vice president by his side. Election Day 2024 is now just three months away and Range USA’s generous exemplary contribution demonstrates their willingness to defend our Second Amendment rights that millions of Americans revere,” said Lawrence G. Keane, Protect Liberty PAC’s Treasurer. “We thank Range USA’s president Tom Willingham for his leadership within the firearm industry. The time is now and we hope more businesses and executives in the firearm, ammunition, hunting, recreational and shooting sports industry, as well as concerned gun owners, will follow his lead and support Protect Liberty PAC so that we will have the resources needed to help elect candidates who will defend our freedoms and liberties, especially the Second Amendment.”
“This is not the time to stand idly by to wait and see what happens in November – this is a time for action. It is critical that the firearm industry has the resources needed to block the Biden administration from doing any more damage in the next six months and to defeat Vice President Harris at the ballot box to ensure our livelihoods are protected and the Constitutional rights we cherish are safeguarded,” said Silencer Shop’s Dave Matheny. “It is chilling to think about what the future could hold if we don’t do everything we can to push back against the continued infringement on our rights that we see every day from this administration and those in elected office who would do away with the right to keep and bear arms in the blink of an eye. Silencer Shop is proud to stand with NSSF, Protect Liberty PAC, and all our industry colleagues who are joining together in this worthy effort. Our Second Amendment rights and Constitutional liberties must be protected against “woke” progressive and anti-gun activists now more than ever and I encourage all my firearm industry colleagues to contribute to Protect Liberty PAC as well.”
