NSSF’s Protect Liberty Political Action Committee (Protect Liberty PAC) announced it has received a $25,000 contribution from Taurus Holdings, Inc., to support the election of candidates who will protect Americans’ liberty and freedoms, especially the Second Amendment which is under constant attack by Vice President Kamala Harris, the newly coronated Democratic nominee for president.
“Vice President Kamala Harris has been President Joe Biden’s ‘gun czar’ and during the most antigun, anti-Second Amendment administration in history. Now, she’s leading a ticket that will be even more hostile to Second Amendment rights. Supporters of personal liberties and Constructional rights must stand up and fight before November’s election. That’s why NSSF is grateful for the tremendous show of support and generous donation to Protect Libert PAC from Taurus Holdings through its President and CEO Bret Voorhees,” said Lawrence G. Keane, Protect Liberty PAC’s Treasurer. “This is a critical time to marshal the resources to ensure our rights and liberties are protected by defeating candidates who would work to eliminate our rights and freedoms. We hope others will join Taurus in contributing to Protect Liberty PAC so that we have the necessary resource to protect and preserve our Second Amendment rights.”
“With only 75 days until Election Day, now is the time for members of the firearm industry and gun owners to take a stand against the severe gun control and industry attacks that lie ahead if we fail to act. At Taurus we are proud to support NSSF’s Protect Liberty PAC in this fight,” said Bret Vorhees, President and CEO, Taurus Holdings, Inc. “A Harris-Walz administration would be a complete disaster for the firearm industry and the livelihoods of tens of thousands of hardworking Americans who work in our industry and the over 100 million law-abiding gun owners in our great nation. I challenge my industry colleagues to join this fight and contribute to Protect Liberty PAC because our rights and the future of our industry are on the ballot on Election Day”
