| LEGAL & LEGISLATION Veteran’s Sad Lament Shows Why Surrender is Not an Option | |
| Gun owners in Virgina, home of NRA’s Headquarters, are still absorbing the results of last Tuesday’s elections. In addition to the election of Democrat Abigail Spanberger, a former Mom’s Demand Action volunteer, as governor, we now have an attorney general who thinks the shooting of a political rival and the death of his “little fascist” children might finally prompt the gun control he supports.

And yet, as NRA faces the fight of its life where many of us live and work, the message of a 100-year-old veteran of the British army urges us on in our task.
