NRA Statement on Fast & Furious

Dear Chairman Issa and Ranking Member Cummings:

On behalf of the National Rifle Association of America,
I am writing in support of the Committee’s resolution recommending
that the House find Attorney General Eric H. Holder, Jr. in contempt of Congress.<snip>

Heightening the NRA’s concerns—and requiring our involvement
—is the White House’s use of this program to advance its gun control agenda.
The White House actively sought information from the operation to support
its plan to demand reporting of multiple rifle sales by the nearly
9,000 federally licensed firearm dealers in border states.

It is no secret that the NRA does not admire Attorney General Holder.
For years, we have pointed out his history of anti-Second Amendment advocacy and enforcement actions.<snip>

This is an issue of the utmost seriousness and the NRA will consider this vote in our future candidate evaluations.

If you have any questions about our position on this issue, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Sincerely,
Chris W. Cox
Executive Director
NRA

Ah yes, the NRA. I especially enjoyed Mr. LaPierre's instructions on aiming for the head when dealing with federal agents. Since he's still the executive VP of the NRA, I guess they agree.
