Not only do millions of Americans own<br \/>\nfirearms, but recreational hunting and shooting adds billions to our<br \/>\neconomy every year and supports thousands of jobs. <b>The NRA is committed<br \/>\nto protecting our Second Amendment rights. Mitt Romney and I will have<br \/>\nthat same commitment when we are in the White House.\u201d<\/b><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>\u201cSince 1871, the NRA has protected the right of men and women across<br \/>\nour country to keep and bear arms,\u201d said Chairman of the NRA Political<br \/>\nVictory Fund Chris Cox. \u201cThis right is enshrined in our Constitution<br \/>\nthrough the Second Amendment. It&#8217;s the right that makes all of our other<br \/>\n constitutional rights possible. Americans deserve to have a friend of<br \/>\nour Second Amendment freedoms and hunting heritage in the White House.<br \/>\nThat&#8217;s why we are proud to endorse Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan for<br \/>\nPresident and Vice President of the United States. Mitt and Paul will<br \/>\ndefend all of our constitutional freedoms from those who would seek to<br \/>\nlimit or deny them. We encourage every freedom-loving American to vote<br \/>\nfor the Romney-Ryan ticket on November 6.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Along with the NRA-PVF announcement of their endorsement of Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan comes the Romney-Ryan campaign&#8217;s announcement&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"iawp_total_views":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[2683,3551,1846,1838],"class_list":["post-2924","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-endorsement","tag-mitt-romney","tag-nra-pvf","tag-rep-paul-ryan"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2924","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2924"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2924\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8416,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2924\/revisions\/8416"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2924"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2924"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2924"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
