The Second Amendment Foundation is poised to launch a new national advertising effort alleging that prominent Democrats have been misleading the American public by claiming “no one is coming after your guns,” when that appears “they have every intention of doing just that.”
The new ad will launch next week.
TGM has viewed the 60-second message, and it features the now-infamous video clip of President Joe Biden acknowledging he wants to ban the sale of modern semiautomatic rifles, but also 9mm pistols, the most popular personal protection sidearm in the country today. In addition, the new message also singles out former President Barack Obama, former presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton, and California Gov. Gavin Newsom.
SAF founder and Executive Vice President Alan Gottlieb told TGM he believes “this is our best ad, yet.”
“Our new spot takes on former President Barack Obama, former presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton and California Gov. Gavin Newsom—all of whom have insisted nobody wants to take your firearms—and contrasts those claims against the admission by Joe Biden that he does want to ban the sale of semiautomatic rifles and 9mm pistols,” Gottlieb said. “While they tell you one thing, it is clear from Biden’s candid remarks their intentions are far, far different.”
According to Gottlieb, the new advertisement will air a total of 80 times on 19 different cable networks. The lineup includes Fox News, Fox Business, CNN, MSNBC, HLN, the Weather Channel, CNBC, Bloomberg, BBC America, One America News, the History Channel, TBN, American Heroes Channel, the Outdoor Channel, World Fishing, Game Show, RFD, Direct TV and DISH TV.
The veteran gun rights leader is especially alarmed at the proposed constitutional amendment from Newsom.
“While Newsom tells American gun owners he has no intention of repealing the Second Amendment,” Gottlieb observed, “his proposed constitutional amendment is deplorably designed to essentially gut the right to keep and bear arms, and he knows it. The only conclusion one can reach after studying his scheme is that Newsom must think the American public will allow him to void the Bill of Rights.”
Gottlieb called the proposed 28th Amendment an astonishing proposal “to add a gun control amendment to the U.S. Constitution, negating the Second Amendment and turning the right to keep and bear arms into a government-regulated privilege.”
The advertisement asks viewers to call 800-241-4882 and Press #1 to help stop Biden’s gun prohibition agenda.
“It is imperative that America’s gun owners unite and take legal action to rebuff these deceitful Democrats from fulfilling their objective of public disarmament,” Gottlieb said.
