After days of silence since last week’s massacre at a Connecticut elementary school, the National Rifle Association is finally beginning to speak out, saying it’s “heartbroken” by the tragedy, and it’s looking to help prevent similar events in the future.
“The National Rifle Association of America is made up of four million moms and dads, sons and daughters – and we were shocked, saddened and heartbroken by the news of the horrific and senseless murders in Newtown,” the gun-rights group said today in a written statement.
It mentioned why it has not made any comment to this point, saying, “Out of respect for the families, and as a matter of common decency, we have given time for mourning, prayer and a full investigation of the facts before commenting.”
The group is also looking to play a role in a national conversation to limit gun violence.
“The NRA is prepared to offer meaningful contributions to help make sure this never happens again,” it said.
It’s planning to be more specific when it holds “a major news conference” on Friday, Dec. 21, in the Washington, D.C., area. Read More:
