The Second Amendment Now Comes with Government-Issued “Harmful Language Alert”

7:00am Thursday, January 06, 2022

The absurdity and dysfunction of the Biden Administration have become so pervasive that it’s easy to become numb to it all. But some things it does are still so outrageous and inconceivable – touching on the very identity of the nation itself – that it is worth pausing to take stock of just how far the U.S. has fallen as a country in the short time Joe Biden has occupied the White House. The...

“You’ve Reached 911, Please Hold …”

7:00am Wednesday, January 05, 2022

A Year in American Gun Ownership

3:00pm Friday, December 31, 2021

This is the season of holiday festivities, family gatherings, and retrospectives. We don’t operate on seasons, though. Gun owners didn’t wait for a holiday to air their grievances; they took every opportunity to let their legislators and the ATF know where they stood on infringement.

7:00am Thursday, December 30, 2021

Last month, the Sixth Circuit failed to achieve the majority necessary to correct the ATF’s shifting classifications of bump stocks as “machine guns.” NRA-ILA’s amicus brief opposed the ATF’s legal authority to arbitrarily criminalize legal firearms. Because the judges split 8-8, the flawed bump stock rule is being reinstated. This is only one of several challenges supported by NRA-ILA. In...
