NSSF Senior Vice President and General Counsel Lawrence G. Keane participated in an NPR interview opposite Josh Horowitz, executive director of the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence, earlier this morning. Following Horowitz's description of Americans who exercise their Second Amendment rights as "insurgents" who participate in a process that "erodes core democratic values," Keane challenged the gun control advocate. "To assert that the action of exercising a constitutional right is somehow 'anti-democratic' and reserved for 'insurgents' is offensive and historically ignorant," responded Keane. "This is just one more example of how far removed the gun-control movement is from mainstream America."
