Last night, the Alabama Legislature adjourned sine die from its 2023 legislative session. This session saw scheduled hearings for a few anti-gun bills, but the NRA, along with our members and Second Amendment supporters, was successful in making sure these bills did not progress in the legislative process and were defeated this session. NRA will

Firearms have been a source of debate in the United States for decades due to the abnormally high amount of gun violence in the country. Recently, the New York Times reported guns surpassed car accidents as the leading cause of death for American children, with at least 145 mass shootings in 2023, as of April 11. Utah has

Today, the Maine Senate officially killed Legislative Document 1000, which would have established a firearm range safety group within the Department of Inland Fisheries & Wildlife. This legislation would have been the first step in undermining Maine’s strong range protection laws. Thanks to the strong response of NRA members and Second Amendment supporters, the bill

The National Rifle Association of America (“NRA”) today announced it is intervening in a pending case to protect its members from the “pistol brace rule” promulgated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (“ATF”).

Virginia Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears spoke out Tuesday after a high school graduation ceremony in Richmond ended in a shooting that killed two people, injured others, and left one suspect facing murder charges, remarking, “This is not about law-abiding gun owners, this is about gangs.”  “The people that I represent are not safe. They’re not

Former Vice President Mike Pence filed paperwork officially launching his campaign for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination. He will do battle his old boss, former President Donald Trump, to become his party’s candidate in the general election. Trump is dominating in the polls so far, followed by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. Pence is mired in

California’s Unsafe Handgun Act effectively bans the sale of almost all semiautomatic pistols that were designed beginning in 2007, and all such pistols introduced in 2013 and thereafter.  As explained in a previous post, in March, U.S. District Judge Cormac J. Carney of the Central District of California issued a preliminary injunction in Boland v.

On Wednesday, the House Administration Committee will hear House Bills 201 and 202, to increase arbitrary boundaries in which law-abiding citizens are left defenseless.

Florida’s war on “woke” got the most attention during the last legislative session as GOP lawmakers took on drag queens and diversity initiatives. But several issues that received less attention are still worth noting — including favors lawmakers did for Elon Musk and other private-sector space entrepreneurs who wanted protection from lawsuits and for Major

California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Ron DeSantis, Florida governor and presidential candidate, have been engaged in an adversarial back-and-forth for quite some time now. Most recently, Newsom took to Twitter to blame DeSantis for a Memorial Day shooting in Hollywood, Florida. Newsom’s message reiterated that he is ill-informed about gun laws — and that he

Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy said he is willing to make “major concessions” to Russia in order to end the war in Ukraine and shift focus to counter communist China.

Last night, the Nevada Legislature adjourned sine die from its 2023 legislative session.

Fortunately, Governor Joe Lombardo promptly vetoed them in order to uphold the Second Amendment and protect the rights of law-abiding citizens. NRA thanks Gov.

Republican New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu is officially not running for president. He’s probably carefully studied the polls and realizes he’d just embarrass himself. He nobly doesn’t want his one percent polling average to help Donald Trump run away with the nomination. He wrote in a Washington Post op-ed: Current polls indicate Trump is the

On Sunday, Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley went on CNN to appear in another of the network’s now infamous “town halls.” The kind of town hall that promises the sort of kid-glove treatment that can only be delivered by a network in free fall. It was the same town hall at which Haley spent a

The conservative governor of the Volunteer State, Bill Lee, is taking on the National Rifle Association as he and his allies push for greater gun restrictions in the wake of the Covenant School shooting at Nashville earlier this year.  According to a memo received by the Associated Press as a part of a public records
