Seven expert guests are available for radio and TV via phone and/or Zoom/Skype
Intro: Joe Biden’s Twitter message to former Congresswoman Gabby Giffords may read like a threat against one gun rights organization, but our guest from the Second Amendment Foundation says it is really an attack on every gun owner in the nation.
According to the group, Joe Biden pledged to work with Congresswoman Giffords on her extremist gun control agenda, and promised to “defeat the NRA,” in the process, but SAF founder and Executive Vice President Alan M. Gottlieb said that’s just cover for a bigger goal. Welcome ____________ (name one of the spokespersons listed below).
Talking Points:
- Tell us about that tweet and what exactly do you mean by this all being a cover for a bigger goal?
Answer: Joe Biden has labored relentlessly for decades to reduce the Second Amendment to rubble. He may attack one group by name, but his goal is to crush the rights of every gun owner in our country.
- But isn’t reversing some gun rights helping bring the nation together during this time of division:
Answer: Attacking the Second Amendment Rights of 100 million Americans is not bringing us together but dividing us further.
- But whose fault would it be if there were riots in the streets in an effort to ban guns?
If people take to the streets in protest, if violence occurs it will be Joe Biden’s fault and he should be impeached for violating our constitutional rights and inciting violence.
- Beyond mere impeachment, do you think Joe Biden, for violating the 2nd Amendment, should have his rights revoked from Twitter and Facebook!”
- This week your Second Amendment Foundation is launching a new major advertising effort to recruit tens of thousands of gun owners into the 2nd Amendment First Responder program. Tell us more about this.
Answer; SAF is running a one-minute message 40 times this week, on several national networks, to educate millions of law-abiding gun owners about the gun rights battle. This message will appear on DirecTV, Fox News, Fox Business, CNN, MSNBC, The Weather Channel, One America News Network, CNBC, HLN, Bloomberg and Dish TV.
This hard-hitting ad urges gun owners and viewers concerned about the civil right to bear arms to join the fight by texting ‘PROTECT 2A’ to ‘474747’. By texting, people can support SAF’s educational and legal action programs to protect their rights.
6) Some say Joe Biden is a uniter. Do you agree with that assessment?
Answer: “Joe Biden isn’t fooling anybody. He spent 47 years on Capitol Hill trying to turn the right to keep and bear arms into a regulated privilege. Now he thinks he will be able to complete his mission. We’re working to swell the ranks of our 2nd Amendment First Responder project to stop him.”
- Where may our audience get more information about your group?
