NRA slams Biden’s SOTU speech as attack on ‘the very fabric of American freedom’ [Video]

FIRST ON FOX: The National Rifle Association slammed President Biden for “targeting the very fabric of American freedom” when he singled-out the NRA in his State of the Union speech while calling for gun control.

“By singling out the NRA, Biden isn’t attacking an organization; he’s belittling millions of lawful Americans. He’s attacking the very fabric of American freedom and self-defense. He claims his proposals and policies will not infringe on the Second Amendment,” NRA interim Vice President and CEO Andrew Arulanandam told Fox News Digital.

“That’s, in his words, malarkey. To put it plainly, President Biden needs to show some compassion to law-abiding Americans, instead of coddling criminals.”

During the president’s State of the Union address, Biden called out the NRA and demanded strict gun control measures, such as banning so-called assault weapons.
