NRA ends silence, says it will 'offer meaningful contributions'

12/18/2012

The National Rifle Association has issued its first statement since the deadly school shootings last Friday in Newtown, Conn. The organization said it was “prepared to offer meaningful contributions” to prevent future massacres, though it made no mention of guns or gun control in a short statement.

The statement said the NRA would hold a news conference Friday. [Source]
