JFK Was A Lifetime Member of The NRA and A Second Amendment Supporter
Cover of John F. Kennedy |
With the 50th anniversary of John F. Kennedy’s (JFK) assassination drawing near, various aspects of his life and presidency are being recounted. Among these, two aspects that are not getting the attention they deserve are his lifetime membership in the NRA and his defense of the Second Amendment.
According to the Washington Post, JFK was one of eight U.S. presidents to “have been lifetime members [of the NRA].” The others were “Ulysses S. Grant, Theodore Roosevelt, William Howard Taft, Dwight D. Eisenhower… Richard M. Nixon, Ronald Reagan, and George H.W. Bush.” Kennedy stands out as the only Democrat on that list.
In April 1960, JFK said our founding fathers used phrases like “a well regulated militia” and “the ‘security’ of the nation,” as well as “the right of each citizen ‘to keep and bear arms,’” to show “the essentially civilian nature of our economy.”
He posited “fears of governmental tyranny” as the impetus “which gave rise to the Second Amendment” to begin with. And although he believed it “unlikely” that such tyranny “[would] ever be a major danger to our nation,” he said “the Second Amendment will always be important.”

As one who remembers him, he’s the ONLY DEM I actually liked.
He was for American Greatness.
Seemed so anyway.
Much like Ronald.
Yeah they both had their issues, but they came out as pro USA.
God Bless them both…opposite parties, but the same America first mindset.
And if they stole a bit on the side…at least the rest of us got a cut too.
Not like now, when BOTH sides milk us to DEATH.
