We humbly ask the NRA to denounce and repudiate any calls from the GOP establishment to launch a 3rd party run. We recognize the NRA as America's foremost defender of Second Amendment rights. The NRA, as a powerful political force, is uniquely positioned to quell these calls before they gain any momentum.

An independent candidate, however weak, could pull enough votes from the Republican to ensure a Hillary Clinton victory. Hillary Clinton is fervently anti-gun and would use her power to appoint liberal Supreme Court Justices. It is imperative that those who support the 2nd Amendment to vote for the Republican candidate.

The only two viable remaining candidates in the race are Donald Trump and Ted Cruz. Both would rescind Barack Obama’s many executive actions, but more importantly, they would nominate strong constitutional conservatives. Donald Trump has recommended Bill Pryor or Diane Sykes. Ted Cruz has recommended Michael Luttig. All would defend the Second Amendment.
