NASHVILLE — The National Rifle Association says it’s given Democratic U.S. Senate nominee Gordon Ball an “F” rating on Second Amendment rights, charging Ball has embraced former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s “gun control agenda.”
The NRA says Ball “publicly endorsed Bloomberg’s overreaching and intrusive so-called ‘universal’ background check system that would require federal government approval for transferring firearms between lifelong friends and many family members.
Ball also stated he supports more restrictions on magazines and commonly used semi-automatic firearms.”
“To me,” Ball added, “gun rights are important rights, but we can’t lose sight of the fact that expanded background checks may save lives. And if we can save one child from being killed by a firearm — put in the wrong hands — then that’s what we need to do.”
