Everytown for Gun Safety’s propaganda arm – The Trace – is proving that they’re more interested in fomenting an illusion of conflict than recognizing the importance of saving lives.
It’s more than unfortunate. It’s appalling and disgusting, in all honesty.
The Trace recently published a column criticizing the partnership between NSSF and the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP). The author, Mike Spies, whom NSSF has spotlighted before for his antigun bias, framed the relationship as self-serving and insinuated nefarious intent.
Let me be perfectly clear: NSSF and AFSP forged this relationship to prevent the tragedy of suicide. NSSF recognizes that more than half of suicide deaths involve a firearm. That’s unacceptable – especially when the experts in this field inform us that suicide is preventable. The firearm industry wants to be part of the solution. However, we recognize that we are not suicide prevention experts.
Likewise, AFSP is – by definition – wholly dedicated to reducing and ultimately eliminating suicide by all means. The relationship brought the two organizations together to offer real solutions to a vexing problem. The cause is noble. It is right. Neither I nor the NSSF will abandon our efforts to save lives, no matter the ginned-up criticism by an antigun organization that’s bent on denying lawful firearm ownership to all Americans.
