NRA-ILA GRASSROOTS VOLUME 24, NUMBER 32
|
|
| Award-winning
journalist John Stossel published a report this week that provides a
timely reminder that – nearly a decade after the Supreme Court’s
landmark ruling in District of Columbia v. Heller – law abiding gun
owners are still routinely persecuted and punished for exercising their
rights. |
|
|
| Recent
weeks have seen a heated debate involving national Democratic Party
figures over how to approach the issue of abortion in a manner that
would allow the party to be more competitive in portions of the country
dominated by Donald Trump and the Republicans in the 2016 election. |
|
|
|
According
to a recent poll by the Pew Research Center, more than 1 in 3 Americans
believe that colleges and universities exert a negative effect on the
country. When respondents are grouped by political party, that response
is as high as 58%.
|
|
|
|
| This
week, the Czech Republic made good on their promise to pursue a legal
challenge to the European Union’s (EU) onerous new changes to the
European Firearms Directive. |
|
|
|
| U.S.
policymakers, NRA-ILA, and even some of the most ardent anti-gun
researchers, have long understood that gun turn-in programs do not
hinder criminal violence. Despite the overwhelming evidence, the Land
Down Under is currently in the midst of a National Firearms Amnesty
program that aims to rid the country of its illegally possessed guns.
Given the results so far, it appears unlikely the effort will make a
meaningful dent in the country’s stock of illicit firearms. |
|
|
|
| The
Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has established specific
requirements for transporting firearms and ammunition in checked baggage
on commercial aircraft, including the following:
All firearms or ammunition must be checked with the air carrier as
luggage or inside checked luggage. Firearms, firearms parts, and
ammunition are prohibited from carry-on baggage. Firearm parts include
barrels, magazines, frames, and other internal parts of a firearm. |

| Thanks
to all your hard work last year, the Second Amendment saw resounding
victories on Election Day 2016. From local state legislature races, to
governor races, to Congress and the United States presidency, YOU showed
up to elected pro-gun lawmakers into office. YOU did that. |

|
|
The
ultimate destination for all things Personal Protection,
Concealed Carry and Home Defense. Whether just starting out or actively
engaged in the personal safety and protection of yourself and your
family, this is the event for you. Make plans now to attend.
