The NRA has released a new ad urging gun owners to &#8220;wake up&#8221; and prepare to fight these efforts, <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >highlighting anti-gun pledges made<\/a> by several newly elected Democrats, including Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger, New Jersey governor-elect Mikie sherrill, and New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani. The NRA views the election results as a notable threat to Second Amendment rights and is mobilizing its members to resist proposed legislation in upcoming midterm elections.
