Lifetime NRA member, Maria Butina, has been charged with Conspiracy to Act as an Agent of the Russian Federation Within the U.S. for allegedly “infiltrating organizations having influence in American politics” to advance Russia’s interests. ⠀

Per the affidavit, the FBI’s investigation revealed Butina & a Russian official “planned to advance Moscow’s long-term strategic objectives in the United States, in part, by establishing relationships with American political organizations” including an unnamed gun rights group.⠀

Majority of Kroger Customers Want an End to Open Carry
After more than 300,000 petition signatures and nearly 13,000 phone calls demanding that the nation’s largest supermarket chain stop allowing the open carry of guns in its stores, a new poll conducted by Benenson Strategy Group released today shows 64 percent of Kroger shoppers polled believe people should not be able to openly carry guns in Kroger stores.
Despite this opposition to Kroger’s policy allowing open carry of firearms — and even though a majority of states allow people to openly carry firearms without a background check, training or permit — Kroger so far has sided with a small group of gun extremists and refused to change its policy.
While Kroger has not yet changed its open carry policy, in recent weeks, New Seasons Market, a chain of more than a dozen grocery stores located in Oregon and Washington, and Panera Bread recently joined other major brands, including Target, Starbucks, Chipotle, Sonic, Jack in the Box, and Chili’s, in asking guests to leave their firearms at home.
Kroger claims to be a ‘Family of Stores,’ so where are their family values?
Today marks 17 years since the mass shooting at Columbine High School. Join us in taking a moment today to remember the victims and their families.
Let’s honor their memories by fixing the holes in our background check system that let dangerous people get guns, so no family ever has to endure the pain of losing a child to gun violence again.
Is this what Trump means by “protecting our Second Amendment rights will Make America Great Again”?
If this is what his campaign looks like—then count us out on that vision for our country.
We want a safer America and it’s why we’re working to elect Hillary—someone who has put gun safety front and center in her campaign—the next president of the United States.
