A secret tape made after Columbine shows the NRA's evolution on school shootings
|
John,
After what was, at the time, the worst mass shooting in United States history, the NRA was focused on one thing: Their reputation. They worried about the embarrassment of the NRA – not the lives at risk. They spread NRA talking points to their bought-and-paid-for politicians. Wayne LaPierre went so far as to describe some NRA members as “nuts.”
|
These tapes reinforce what we already knew to be true: The NRA does not care about their members or the American people – they are worried about themselves and their profits. It’s time to finally end their reign of terror.

Brady has fought for decades to end the NRA’s stranglehold on our democracy. Now we are closer than ever before, but we need your help to do it. The NRA has cheated U.S. taxpayers in pursuit of an extremist agenda that has made our country less safe – and their time for consequences is long overdue. It’s time for the dissolution of the NRA once and for all. But, we know that Wayne LaPierre and the NRA aren’t going to give up easily and we need your help to make this year their last.
|
That's why we urgently need your help, John: We can’t afford more NRA obstruction when background checks, closing deadly loopholes, and an assault weapons ban are all on the line. They will stop lifesaving gun safety bills from being passed and continue the plague of gun violence across our nation. To end the NRA once and for all, we need all gun violence prevention activists on our side: Will you sign our petition to dissolve the NRA right now?

We are closer than ever to defeating the NRA for good, but it’s up to us to finish the fight. Thank you for standing with Brady and on the side of American lives.
Kris Brown
Brady President
