Conservative pundit S.E. Cupp quits the NRA in plea for gun control
Conservative commentator S.E. Cupp, a longtime NRA advocate once featured as an “NRA Mom” in an ad campaign, said she has quit the organization in an emotional call for stronger gun control laws.
“Nothing happens, nothing changes,” she said. “And with the next mass shooting, we do it all over again.” She said that in the past, she’s defended the NRA and its members and argued against stricter gun laws.“I am no longer an NRA member. Being right no longer feels righteous because in the wake of more mass shootings, acts of senseless violence that sent innocent people running for their lives, leaving children orphaned, loved ones dead on the ground, we must do something about guns.”
And she said some people, including domestic abusers and those who make violent threats, “should never have access to a gun of any kind, period.”
