During National Shooting Sports Month, we celebrate the wonderful American tradition of shooting sports. Shooting sports are a terrific reminder of our constitutional liberty and the attendant benefits that accrue to a free people: active friendship within families, between peers, and among communities, and the opportunity for Americans living in small towns and large cities to experience the bounty of America’s great outdoors.
Shooting sports help reinforce many of the bedrock values of our people, such as the free exercise of the Second Amendment. Mastery of shooting sports requires rigor, discipline, and training. State and local shooting sports programs—and instruction by trained family members and mentors—affirm the role of local communities as the primary teacher of the rule of law and personal responsibility.
This month, we recognize the sportsmen and hunters who practice and teach firearm safety and exercise proper stewardship of our land. Sportsmen and hunters not only help others to understand the responsibilities of owning and using a firearm, but they also ensure that our open space and natural resources are safeguarded. Under existing Federal law, for example, a portion of Federal excise tax on the sale of firearms and ammunition is dedicated to American wildlife research and habitat conservation. That is one reason why my Administration has prioritized making it easier for Americans to participate in shooting sports on public lands. By doing so, we are enhancing Americans’ ability to experience the unsurpassed beauty of our blessed Nation and we are better protecting our national treasures for future generations.
I encourage all Americans engaged in shooting sports to continue promoting a culture of safety and to continue exercising the responsibility and duty associated with the right to keep and bear arms.
Trump says some really odd things that flip people out but more importantly he actually does and is doing all the right things!
I am so pleased, so proud, so comfortable and feel so secure with every action, change and decision our President Donald J. Trump has attacked, attempted and accomplished!
Please, “Please Build That Wall, End Sancuary Cities and Police should be 100% exempt from prosecution of events, injuries, deaths while ON DUTY and INPURSUIT of any possible ILLEGAL activity period”.
You say the word ‘police’. Generally, I think I can’t really trust police as far as you are doing. We need oversight of all police activity. We give the police license to make very important choices and responsibilities that sorry to say a percentage can’t handle. Often when a policeman makes an error his fellow policemen tend to go along with him or her. Having no oversight is asking for brutality and inferior police adherence to the laws. This must be continuously adhered to without let up..
I was taught how to properly and safely use a gun by my father and older brother. We all felt exactly like what the President is saying . I think his ideas are right on the money.
Forget about the “Off the cuff”, not well said comments… just look-at, notice what President Donald J. Trump actually does and accomplishes! Are all you “Complaing People” just stupid, mean or oppose just to oppose?
Everybody just get off Trump’s back and let him do his job…”Make America Great” again!
If anybody could help me, I would really like to meet Mr. Trump, President Trump.
I will somehow, even fly myself to Washington, D.C.
I am now a Senior Citizen and FULLY SUPPORT our USA PRESIDENT TRUMP.
I would like Help Trump and The Republican’s.
What can I physically do?
Jeryl Dawn, the most effective thing I can think of is to VOTE, and to encourage your Republican friends to vote! That’s the only way we’re going to pull off the RED WAVE!
Mr President: Florida is confiscating guns (from the unfit, whoever they are)! It must not be allowed to stand. Please take action sir.
President Trump is truly God’s gift to the United States of America. He understands why the Constitution and the 2nd Ammendment are so important to our country and he will never let the American people down. Long live President Trump and his entire Administration. GO TRUMP ! GO PENCE ! Sincerely, Martin Korab
Lets just hope and pray we can KEEP him in the 2020 election.
His opponents will be nothing less than America-hating, communist-loving genetic throw backs to the NAZI era!
Sounds like the words of a constitutional following President! Thank you sir! May God bless you and America! So help us God!
celebrate your freedom by joining the NRA, purchasing a weapon for self defense from the liberal left who will take it if they can and learn to be proficient with that weapon. If they want a communist country in America they will have to “try and come and take it” .
