NRA-ILA GRASSROOTS VOLUME 23, NUMBER 34
|
|
|
| The
film Under the Gun, produced and narrated by news anchor Katie Couric
and directed by Stephanie Soechtig, took a major credibility hit soon
after its May release, when it was revealed that the film incorporates
footage intentionally manipulated and edited to show, incorrectly, that
members of a Virginia-based gun rights group were dumbstruck upon being
asked about background checks for gun purchases. |
|
|
|
| Last
week, Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey added to the
confusion caused by her decision to unilaterally ban common
semi-automatic firearms by releasing a list of “Guns That Are Not
Assault Weapons.” In other words, she decided to independently, once
again, confuse law-abiding citizens about a law that has existed for
nearly two decades with another “opinion” that has little to do with the
law itself. |

In
July, University of Texas at Austin professors Jennifer Lynn
Glass, Lisa Moore, and Mia Carter filed suit in the United States
District Court for the Western District of Texas against Texas Attorney
General Ken Paxton and UT officials to block the implementation of a
recent change in Texas law that permits campus carry for those with a
license in most portions of public university campuses.

|
| As
governor of Massachusetts, William Weld supported various gun control
schemes, including a ban on semi-automatic firearms. Unfortunately, and
despite being the Libertarian candidate for vice president, Weld
continues his anti-gun ways. |
|
|
|
| Amid
social and economic strife that threatens to topple the regime of
Nicolas Maduro, the Venezuelan government is employing a favorite tactic
of tyrants the world over, further gun control. Last
week, Reuters reported that Venezuela Interior Minister Nestor Reverol
is ramping up efforts to disarm the populace through a program of
confiscation and gun turn-ins. |

| This
week, NRA ILA Executive Director Chris W. Cox was in Portland, Maine to
address the Maine Heritage Policy Center on the importance of the
upcoming elections, and of particular concern to Maine residents, Ballot
Question 3. Read his speech here, and learn more about Question 3 here. |

WHAT IS THE FREEDOM CHALLENGE?
The Freedom Challenge grassroots campaign was created by Rock Island Auction Company® to
raise awareness and financial support for NRA-ILA, an organization that
has stalwartly defended the Second Amendment for decades. 2016 is the
most important year we’ve seen in a generation or more. The attack on
the Second Amendment is clear; many politicians, government officials
and members of the media look to destroy our Constitutional rights. The
Supreme Court's greatest Second Amendment advocate — Justice Antonin
Scalia — has passed away, leaving a vacancy on the Court that the next
president will fill. Simply put, our firearm and other freedoms hang in
the balance and it will take an army of us to take a stand.
