NRA 'Heartbroken' Over Newtown, Prepared to Make 'Meaningful Contributions' (SWHC) (RGR)

The National Rifle Association (NRA) is ending its silence since Friday's deadly school shootings and has made a statement this afternoon.

The National Rifle Association of America is made up of 4 million moms and dads, sons and daughters – and we were shocked, saddened and heartbroken by the news of the horrific and senseless murders in Newtown.

Out of respect for the families, and as a matter of common decency, we have given time for mourning, prayer and a full investigation of the facts before commenting.

The NRA is prepared to offer meaningful contributions to help make sure this never happens again.

The NRA is planning to hold a major news conference in the Washington, D.C., area on Friday, December 21.
