John Commerford, executive director of the NRA Institute for Legislative Action, addressed the election outcomes from the prior night. He reported that progressive majorities now control Congress along with extra state legislatures, placing Second Amendment rights of lawful Americans at immediate risk. The National Rifle Association intends to contest the matter in Congress, the courts, and every state where those rights face danger, and Commerford called on gun owners to organize and help elect supportive politicians in 2028. Established in 1871, the National Rifle Association identifies as Americas oldest civil rights organization and a national leader in firearm education, training, and advocacy.
