While anti-2A people are busy villainizing organizations like the National Rifle Association (NRA) and attempting to disarm law-abiding Americans, they forget about the brave and heroic men like Stephen Willeford. Willeford is a plumber from Sutherland Springs, TX who at the risk of his own life chased and shot the man who took the lives of 26 people at the nearby Baptist church. Willeford is also an NRA member and he tells his story of the harrowing day that was a very sad day in history.
Willeford speaks simply and plainly that everyone who was harmed that day represented his community on that fateful day in November. He clearly emphasizes that he does not believe that he is the bravest or most heroic man in the world. He just believes he happened to be the only person available in a position to stop a very bad man from doing anything worse than what he had already done and what he accomplished was already horrific.
“My daughter came into the bedroom and she said, ‘Dad, there’s a man in black tactical gear” at the church. Willeford, an NRA member, says at the start of the ad. “Every one of those shots, to me, represented one of my neighbors, one of my friends, and I ran as fast as I could.”
“Immediately, he came out of the church…” he recalled. “He hit the truck in front of me, he hit the car behind me, he hit the house behind me, and I hit him.”
“He had an AR-15, but so did I,” Willeford continued. “It’s a matter of the heart. I’m not the bravest man in the world or anything, but I was here, I was here and I could do something. And I had to do something.”
Earlier this week, Willeford penned an opinion piece for the Dallas News recalling that tragic day and speaking about the importance of the Second Amendment and the NRA.
Willeford states:
“More than 80,000 National Rifle Association members and firearms enthusiasts will arrive in Dallas at the end of the week for the organization’s 147th annual meeting, and it’s a good time to reflect on why the Second Amendment is important and what we can do as law-abiding citizens to protect it.
Not everyone in Dallas has welcomed NRA members ahead of this big event. Politicians and anti-2A activists have made clear their belief that the way to stop criminals is to restrict the rights of law-abiding citizens, and many have blamed the men and women of the NRA for acts of deranged individuals. Sometimes, it feels like the mainstream media hates firearms.
I have been saddened to see politicians demonize the men and women of this organization lately. It’s an organization that taught me a great deal and of which I’ve been a proud member most of my life.
I personally want to welcome the visitors expected for the NRA’s Annual Meeting. This is a time for all of us to come together to celebrate our nation’s freedom. People will be coming from every state, city and town in the United States. They will come with one anthem: we are the NRA.”
