[ad_1] Of all the scandals of the anti-gun Obama/Biden administration, Operation Chokepoint was perhaps the most insidious. NRA-ILA covered the story at the time, explaining how federal regulators – including the Department of Justice and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) – used their authorities to intimidate banks into shunning lawful but politically disfavored industries.

[ad_1] Earlier this fall, NRA-ILA Michigan Grassroots Staff hosted NRA Freedom Fest at Peacemakers Gun Range in Howell, Michigan. This large-scale grassroots community event is a great way to reach the pro-2A community, educate those that want more information, and showcase the great relationships that NRA has on the ground in the area. Peacemakers Gun

[ad_1] On Monday, November 21, the full Assembly is expected to vote on A.4769.  This legislation started out as a “copy-cat” strategy, mimicking what New York did to lash out at the Supreme Court post-Bruen.  The bill arbitrarily and drastically expands the number of places labeled as “sensitive places” where concealed carry is prohibited. Over

[ad_1] Maryland’s most anti-gun county has continued its tantrum, lashing out against lawful carry in the only way it thinks it can. Yesterday, the Montgomery County Council voted unanimously to pass Bill 21-22E, to remove the exemption for Wear & Carry (W&C) permit holders from the county’s ban on possessing firearms “in or within 100

[ad_1] Although the 2023 Regular Session of the Texas Legislature does not convene until January 10, gun control advocates have wasted no time declaring war on your Second Amendment rights in the Lone Star State and making clear their intention to push for Biden/Beto gun restrictions during the upcoming legislative session.  Today is the first

[ad_1] Two firearm-related ballot measures – one bad, one good – were voted on in last week’s midterm elections. Both passed. In the blue state of Oregon, voters were presented with Measure 114, the 12-page Changes to Firearm Ownership and Purchase Requirements Initiative, described by the NRA as “the nation’s most extreme gun control Initiative.”

[ad_1] A concerned parent, Darcey Geissler, has brought attention to an assignment that her son received in a Fairfax County school. In a “lesson” on persuasive writing, students were given an anti-gun essay to evaluate, rather than something with more neutral content, so that the students could focus on the persuasive writing aspect. There was

[ad_1] Violence Policy Center (VPC) is a handgun prohibition organization. The group’s website still hosts a document declaring “Handguns should be banned from future sale except for military and law-enforcement personnel.” It should come as no surprise then that the group is advocating for executive action to ban some of America’s most common handguns. In

[ad_1] It’s election time, and supposedly “independent fact-checkers” are again bending the truth to support a political agenda. This time they are contorting evidence and linguistics to insist it is “mostly false” that “red flag laws” allow the government “to confiscate your firearms without due process.” For some time now, the NRA has been warning

[ad_1] The proverbial can was kicked down the road again in Trenton last week.  Majority Democrats have had a habit in recent years of introducing anti-gun legislation so poorly drafted that chaos ensues.  Last week was no exception, and this is only the latest episode of dysfunction among anti-gun Democrat politicians.  Their attempt to completely

[ad_1] Earlier, your NRA-ILA reported that Canada’s three prairie provinces have opposed the federal government’s “assault weapon” confiscation law and refused to allow provincial resources to be used in enforcing the gun ban and so-called “buyback” of legally acquired firearms. By the end of September, officials representing the Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba governments had notified

[ad_1] These days President Joe Biden seems confused when it comes to just about everything. However, the longtime gun control advocate still saves some of his most fallacious and unintelligible comments for the firearms debate. Biden’s latest comments on gun legislation suggest that the president lacks even a rudimentary understanding of how firearms operate. On

[ad_1] Kshama Sawant, Seattle City councilor and member of the “revolutionary Marxist organization” Socialist Alternative Party, has been an enthusiastic proponent of drastic cuts to local law enforcement funding, calling the police a “racist, violent institution.” In a 2018 speech, she explained her “view that the Seattle police have had a long record of police brutality and racial

[ad_1] Mayor Joan Peck has demanded that five anti-Second Amendment ordinances be brought before the City Council. The proposed gun-control package bans law-abiding gun owners from bearing arms in “sensitive places,” strips 18- to 20-year-old adults of their Second Amendment rights, imposes arbitrary waiting periods, bans so-called “ghost guns,” and requires signage at FFLs describing

[ad_1] In their haste to pass more gun control in the Garden State, legislative leadership and their minions rolled out a horribly drafted bill that will put almost everyone in jail.  You read that right.  Everyone, everywhere is going to be unwittingly breaking the law because of sloppy bill drafting.  We have always maintained that

[ad_1] Beginning last year, NRA-ILA has been keeping readers up to date with an ongoing effort by the Mexican government and domestic gun control supporters to attack the American firearms industry. According to a new report from Politico, this conspiracy to leverage a foreign sovereign to undermine an American constitutional right has become more formalized

[ad_1] Parody news site, The Babylon Bee (motto: “Fake News You Can Trust”), has entertained readers with such gems as Batman Unable To Keep Up With Rising Crime As Gotham City Elects Another Democrat, Nation’s Murderous Psychopaths Undecided On Whether They’ll Follow New Gun Laws, Spokesperson For Hell Rejects Biden’s Claim That US Economy Is

[ad_1] (No, Not THAT Border) There seems to be some controversy brewing near our border, but not the one you might be thinking about. About 120 miles south of our northern border, at a September gun show held in Great Falls, Montana, people noticed something that seemed odd. According to a report from Montana’s Independent

[ad_1] There’s a big gap between what the progressive elite preaches as their “transformative vision of public safety” for you and me, and what many of them see as appropriate for their special selves. We’ve noted before that Chicago’s anti-gun Mayor Lori Lightfoot is protected by Unit 544, a special police security detail of approximately

[ad_1] We always knew New Jersey anti-gun politicians had a disdain for the Constitution and gun owners.  This week’s Assembly action is more proof that they have no problem defying our institutions to advance their own political agenda.  A pair of Assembly Committees passed A.4769, the “sensitive places” bill, on a party-line vote.  On Monday,

[ad_1] Part of the reason gun owners detest gun control so vehemently is because it places the burden of curtailing violent crime on law-abiding individuals rather than where it belongs – on criminals. Those who would never commit a violent crime have their freedoms restricted, while criminals ignore the law. In the current era of

[ad_1] Recent polling indicates that an increasing number of Americans view the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) with distrust and disfavor. The results of a national survey conducted in August by Rasmussen Reports found that a majority of voters asked (53%) felt that the agency was not impartial and agreed with the drastic statement that

[ad_1] Last June, the NRA announced its opposition to a wide-ranging gun control bill – the misnamed “Bipartisan Safer Communities Act” (BSCA) – that was being rammed through the U.S. Senate with bi-partisan support. We warned at the time that the bill, contrary to how it was being marketed to the public, could “be abused

[ad_1] On Friday, NRA-ILA filed an amicus brief in a case challenging a New York law that seeks to circumvent the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (“PLCAA”). PLCAA codified the fundamental legal maxim that the law only holds responsible parties liable for their actions. It limits the types of lawsuits that can be

[ad_1] Judge Permanently Prohibits New Jersey from Using Justifiable Need to Deny Concealed Carry License Applications. Yesterday, in an NRA-ILA case, a federal judge signed an order permanently blocking New Jersey from requiring concealed-carry license applicants to justify their need to carry a firearm. This requirement was routinely used to deny people their Second Amendment

[ad_1] Progressive politicians have gone one better than “defund the police” and are now recommending that constituents refrain from contacting law enforcement. Two Democrats in New York State, Assemblyman Zohran Kwame Mamdani and New York City council member Tiffany Cabán, have collaborated on a “public safety resource guide” distributed to small businesses. The guide, reproduced

[ad_1] Last August, Brady – an American gun control organization – teamed up with the government of Mexico to sue various companies within the U.S. firearms industry, seeking to hold them responsible for the violent acts of narco-terrorists south of the U.S. border. It was, as we noted at the time, an audacious and desperate

[ad_1] Pennsylvania Lt. Governor John Fetterman (D), the Democrat nominee for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Senator Pat Toomey’s (R) retirement, has had a number of statements from earlier this year brought back into the light. They come from when Fetterman spoke at an anti-gun event in April, which was hosted by Giffords,

[ad_1] Today it’s often difficult to determine when the mainstream media is being deliberately deceptive or is just incompetent. Whatever the case may be, they are routinely wrong. Take for instance a recent ABC News headline reporting that the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives’ (ATF) bump-stock ban: Supreme

[ad_1] Tomorrow, the Honolulu Police Department (HPD) will hold a public hearing to consider new proposed Rules governing Firearm Permits and Licenses in light of the recent Supreme Court decision in NYSRPA v. Bruen. The proposed amendments to Chapter 15 of the Rules of the Chief of Police, entitled “Firearms Permits and Licenses,” fall short
