Politics NRA president, former Georgia congressman rejects arguments for new gun laws after Apalachee shooting Bob Barr says "safe storage" bill would hinder self-defense.

The comment was a jab at former President Joe Biden, who, during his presidency, repeatedly called for gun control. Barr was not the only official to tout Trump's staunch support for the NRA.

The remarks parrot those of NRA President Bob Barr praised the president and his commitment to the organization.

“The New York Attorney General sought to shut us down, and then appoint outsiders to oversee management of this historic organization,” said NRA President Bob Barr in a written statement.

A New York judge on Monday rejected a request to assign an outside monitor to the National Rifle Association amid a year-long legal battle.
