NRA Defends Donald Trump With $5 Million Ad Buy

The gun then disappears as the narrator says, “But Hillary Clinton could take away her right to self-defense-and with Supreme Court justices, Hillary can”. “I think what we should do is she goes around with armed bodyguards, like you have never seen before”.

The NRA is spending $5 million dollars on this ad in an ad buy that is created to get pro-Second Amendment supporters to the polls to vote for Donald Trump over Hillary Clinton.

NRA Launches 4th Trump Ad in 2016 Presidential Election Cycle.

It begins with a woman reacting to the sounds of a break in during the night, showing her frantically rising from her bed, reaching for a phone to call 911 while she makes her way to a nearby gun safe.

Hillary Clinton said the Supreme Court “is wrong on the Second Amendment”. An announcer explains that the average police response time is 11 minutes, and that a Hillary Clinton presidency could leave this woman with only her phone for protection.

The NRA’s Political Victory Fund is tasked with spending half the money on five swing states – Ohio, Nevada, Virginia, North Carolina and Pennsylvania – while its Institute for Legislative Action, its lobbying arm, is spending the second-half on national cable.

The woman opens her safe to reveal the handgun.

It’s an ominous ad meant to scare people into voting against Hillary, which is nothing new for the NRA, but with Donald Trump having the full backing of the NRA, it’s obvious that the Republican use of scare tactics and fear are leading the charge.

Clinton’s campaign manager Robby Mook replied by calling the remarks “unacceptable”, adding that Trump has shown “a pattern of inciting people to violence”. “Disarm immediately”, Trump said in Miami last week.
