Opinion by LtCOL Oliver North
USA – -(AmmoLand.com)- Dear AmmoLand readers.
We stand at the edge of the precipice of one of the most important elections of our lives. That is the reality we face … just days from now.
All the freedoms we hold dear are, quite literally, at stake in this election. The enemies of our freedom are highly organized and abundantly funded … thanks to a group of super-rich political elites hell-bent on “buying” this election to serve their own agenda.
This self-serving cabal of billionaires and their pet politicians have conspired to permanently transform America into a socialist state.
They tried their best to win the White House in 2016 and, ever since, they’ve done everything possible to undo that election.
Their goal is a clear and present danger! They plan to seize power in Washington by capturing the House of Representatives and U.S. Senate … then crush the NRA, take the White House two years from now, and repeal the Second Amendment.
It is an all-out attack against us and our freedom, not with bombs and bullets, but with billions of dollars buying ballots. [some say a civil war]
You know their names: George Soros, Michael Bloomberg and Tom Steyer—and their lap dog, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo. He’s the genius who recently claimed, “We’re not going to make America great again; it was never that great.”
When he made that shocking assertion, I was at the American Cemetery in Normandy, France with a group of NRA members, Freedom Alliance supporters and combat-wounded heroes from our current war against radical Islamist terror. We were stunned.
More stunning still: not one of the anti-freedom, billionaire-socialist-cabal distanced themselves from Governor Cuomo’s pathetic rejection of American values. Apparently, acknowledging America’s greatness doesn’t serve their agenda.
That helps explain why George Soros has pumped tens of millions into far left political candidates and causes; why Michael Bloomberg has vowed to spend $80 million in this election and Tom Steyer says he’s spending at least $110 million—all to plant Democrat-Socialists throughout our government and turn America into a Gun-Free socialist utopia.
Only the members of the NRA, and our country’s 100 million gun owners stand in their way. We are the only patriots—proven by history—strong enough, tough enough, and dedicated enough to defeat the big spending liars the one and only way possible—with our votes!
On November 6th 2018 every one of us must turn out and vote.
And every one of us must get someone else out to vote, too. No one sits this election out. The stakes are too high. Every vote is needed.
As law-abiding gun owners and Second Amendment advocates, you know the battlefield in this election. You helped win this fight two years ago, and you know our freedom cannot afford to letup this year.
Two years ago, it was the NRA—each one of us doing our part—that helped elect one of the most openly pro-Second Amendment Presidents in history. During the past two years, President Trump has demonstrated his strong commitment to protecting our firearms freedom. He has fought back efforts to restrict our rights and nominated not one … but two … pro-freedom judges to sit on the United States Supreme Court.
The President’s support for our freedom has driven our opponents and the so-called “main-stream media” absolutely nuts. They’ve protested, ranted and raved … and they’ve organized like never before to take over the U.S. House and Senate. If they win the House, they will spend the next two years trying to impeach the President, Justice Kavanaugh … and seize the White House in 2020.
WE THE PEOPLE are supposed to govern America—not wealthy oligarchs intent on ruling us and stripping away the freedoms we hold dear.
The battle lines are clear and the fight is joined. Their last minute smear against Justice Kavanaugh in an attempt to block his confirmation is just one more indication of their tactics.
You … and I mean YOU … are the tip of the spear in this fight to preserve our liberties. You are admired, respected and trusted among your peers and colleagues. Use that credibility to encourage your friends, family, neighbors and co-workers – to spread the word and vote for candidates who support the Second Amendment on November 6th. I urge you to visit www.NRAPVF.org to obtain a list of NRA endorsed candidates in your area.
Every single vote by you and other Americans like you can make all the difference in preserving our freedom and saving our nation.
Please stand with me in making that difference. Do everything you can to help us win this election battle. VOTE!
Semper Fidelis,
Oliver North

I continue to wonder as to the following. Whose side is the NRA actually on? Their being “on the NRA’s side” does not properly answer the question either.
WAR IS NOW HERE. YOU CAN ALL FEEL IT, SENSE IT AS IT IS IN THE AIR. NRA IS A SELL OUT. THEY WILL RIDE WITH THE GUN GRABBERS. ORGANIZE, ARM, EQUIP AND TRAIN AS MILITIA FOR MUTUAL DEFENSE.

Bandido; Correct NO one is going to take my guns! I have the belief that if you want to own any gun you should be able to own it; I myself don’t like any Black Gun, I have my reasons, but I would not say that they should be banned, everyone should be able to purchase what ever they want if they can pass the Back Ground Check, if you can do that, then so be it! I do not go for the random confiscation that these states are jamming down our throats, without due process, the new process of… Read more »
I belong to the NRA but Ollie North was not my choice at their election, he has a tangled web coming from the Military, through the Regan years, with the Iran-Contra which was another weapons scandal, which everybody washed their hands of, so that man does not stand to tall for where he is at in my book!!!!!!!! I can only hope that somebody else can over ride most of his non cents instead of standing up for the Second Amendment!!!!!!! Placing those rights out for the ATF and changing just definitions as to up grade a rule does not… Read more »
Alan: The NRA is on the status quo side which continues to allow them to beg for more and more money while telling members they are fighting for them. This is one time they can’t walk away, can’t explain away, can’t double talk their way out of the cold truth that they sold out the entire gun owning public and here’s why: If they can ban one item, bump stocks, what’s to stop them from coming back next time and saying “we’re going to ban all after market triggers because THEY increase the rate of fire”? OR, suppose they say… Read more »
Whose side is the NRA on? Their silence, in-so-far as opposition to recently enacted anti gun rights legislation in Pennsylvania raises High that question. So far, they have not answered, one wonders why.
