Quote of the Day
““Chris Sununu has shown time and time again that he values his NRA rating more than the safety of Granite Staters,” Ray Buckley said in a statement. “In light of yet another devastating and preventable tragedy where innocent lives were stolen by senseless gun violence, it is incomprehensible that Sununu would even consider speaking at this NRA event."”
New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu who has been exploring a run for president is facing pressure to not show up to an upcoming NRA forum in the wake of Monday’s school shooting in Nashville.
