The NSSF’s Protect Liberty Political Action Committee (Protect Liberty PAC) received a substantial contribution from Lipsey’s that will be utilized to help identify and support the election of candidates who are dedicated to preserving and protecting liberty, freedom and the constitutional rights of all Americans, especially our Second Amendment rights. The $25,000 contribution will benefit Protect Liberty PAC’s efforts ahead of the November 2024 election to ensure voters in key battleground states and congressional districts across the country are informed about candidates who will fight for their Constitutional rights and not carry out a “woke,” progressive, far left political agenda that threatens those rights.
“With just six months to go before Election Day 2024, Lipsey’s is stepping forward and leading in a major way to ensure the firearm and ammunition industry has the resources necessary to support and defend the principles and constitutional rights we all hold dear against politicians who would dismantle them. We are extremely grateful for this generous contribution and for Lipsey’s belief in Protect Liberty PAC’s mission to elect candidates who will fight for our liberties and freedoms, including the Second Amendment,” said Lawrence G. Keane Protect Liberty PAC’s Treasurer. “We are gearing up to have a robust operation to get our industry’s message out to the American people and what November’s election could mean for the future. We hope more businesses in the firearm, ammunition, hunting, recreational and shooting sports industry will join Lipsey’s in supporting Protect Liberty PAC.”
“Looking at what’s at stake for the entire firearm and ammunition industry ahead and beyond election day should make everyone in our business want to jump at the opportunity to support Protect Liberty PAC in any way they can,” said Laurie Aronson, Lipsey’s Chairwoman and CEO. “We have hundreds of thousands of hardworking Americans in our businesses and towns that show up every day to help provide for the exercise of the Second Amendment by law-abiding citizens. Protect Liberty PAC is a much-needed effort to help elect politicians who stand up for our Second Amendment rights and ensure they exist for future generations.”
