The National Rifle Association launched a new advertising campaign called “BE READY,” which urges law-abiding Americans to safely and responsibly exercise their Second Amendment rights in the face of escalating dangers.
The ad focuses on urgent warnings from government officials about active Iranian terror cells and lone wolf terrorists operating within the U.S., as seen in recent terror-related attacks.
Recent incidents include deadly shootings at a bar in Austin, Texas, an attack at Old Dominion University in Virginia, and the targeted vehicle-ramming assault on a synagogue in Michigan.
The “BE READY” campaign, the NRA said, highlights the vital need for personal protection in an increasingly uncertain world and offers glaring imagery and real-world examples.
The ad calls on Americans to carry responsibly and stay vigilant, while telling viewers that the right to self-defense is not just a privilege but a fundamental necessity.
“As threats to our safety multiply — from terror cells and radicalized attackers to violent criminals set loose by lenient policies — innocent, law-abiding citizens face increased dangers on all fronts,” said NRA CEO Doug Hamlin. --->READ MORE HERE
Some members of the Jewish community aren’t relying on police to save them if an active shooter enters their temple, school or community center.
The Synagogue Security Council of North America, an organization of Jewish Americans with law enforcement and security experience, says it has trained tens of thousands of volunteers to prepare for worst-case scenarios. That includes the potential use of firearms to neutralize attackers.
“Regardless of how quick you dial 911, synagogue congregants will always be their own first responder,” Carmi Lawrence, the group’s managing director, told NewsNation on Sunday. “We have to stop delegating our security to the government, to third-party security organizations, to outside organizations, regardless of how good their intentions might be, and take accountability ourselves.”
Lawrence said even if police respond to an active-shooter incident within minutes, “There’s still a lot of death and destruction that can happen.”
The not-for-profit works with synagogues in person, over the phone or via Zoom. Lawrence said the group has seen an uptick in interest with recent antisemitic attacks across the U.S. and after the onset of the current war in Iran.
Just last week, a suspect drove his vehicle into Temple Israel in West Bloomfield, Michigan, before he was stopped and killed by armed security. Israel’s military said the suspect, Lebanese national Ayman Mohamad Ghazali, was the brother of a Hezbollah commander who was recently killed. --->READ MORE HERE
