Here is what the NRA had to say.
The National Rifle Association of America is made up of
over 4 million moms and dads, daughters and sons, who are involved in
the national conversation about how to prevent a tragedy like Newtown
from ever happening again. We attended today’s White House meeting to
discuss how to keep our children safe and were prepared to have a
meaningful conversation about school safety, mental health issues, the
marketing of violence to our kids and the collapse of federal
prosecutions of violent criminals.
We were disappointed with how little this meeting had to do with
keeping our children safe and how much it had to do with an agenda to
attack the Second Amendment. While claiming that no policy proposals
would be “prejudged,” this Task Force spent most of its time on proposed
restrictions on lawful firearms owners – honest, taxpaying,
hardworking
Americans. It is unfortunate that this Administration continues to
insist on pushing failed solutions to our nation’s most pressing
problems. We will not allow law-abiding gun owners to be blamed for the
acts of criminals and madmen. Instead, we will now take our commitment
and meaningful contributions to members of congress of both parties who
are interested in having an honest conversation about what works – and
what does not.
