Incoming NRA President Oliver North: ‘We Want to Help Everybody Keep Their Freedom’

EXCERPT:

NORTH: "There is a time when you need a Marine at the top of the pyramid at the National Rifle Association. It is under attack. Quite frankly, I have never seen anything quite like it. They have hacked into almost everything they could. They have threatened officers, directors, the staff. The harassment goes beyond simply yelling at people. It now includes vandalism. It is slashed tires and broken windshields, things like that. There is no place for that in America. And so my purpose is to — I'm the quick reaction force I guess is the best way of putting it. We have a message to get out to the American people. It is a very straightforward message. The NRA was created in 1871 to teach the safe handling of firearms, marksmanship, and protection of the Second Amendment. Very simple. We're not out to take anything from anybody. What we want to do is help everybody keep their freedom."
