Next Tuesday, June 13, the Broomfield City Council will vote on two deeply concerning ordinances, Ord. 2189 and 2192, which further restrict your rights and undermine your ability to exercise your constitutional freedoms.

Chicago, desperate to do something to try to diminish the violent crime that is ravaging the city, has turned to programs that are not your traditional law enforcement approach to try to help stem the tide. But if the recent Memorial Day weekend is any indication, not only are the programs not working, but one may be contributing to the problem; at least in one apparent incident.   NEWS  Study: Restrictive Gun Control Laws “Unlikely” to Solve Problem of Youth Gun Violence A first of its kind study published in late May in the American Medical Association’s JAMA Network Open concluded that community-level “social vulnerability” factors like poverty, unemployment, crowded housing, and minority status were much more likely than “permissive” gun control laws to be strongly associated with a high gun-violence death rate among youth. “Our results suggest that legislation alone, although important, will not address the problem of gun violence in the US and needs to be accompanied by genuine, deep, and long-term investment in historically marginalized communities to reduce inequities.”   TAKE ACTION Grassroots Spotlight: NRA Freedom Fest at Dorchester Gun Shop NRA-ILA Grassroots successfully hosted its first NRA FreedomFest at Dorchester Gun Shop in Grand Blanc, MI, in May. We were joined by our community partners, Michigan Open Carry and Ducks Unlimited, and enjoyed a great day in celebration of the Second Amendment!    SHARE THIS EMAIL   HELP DEFEND SECOND AMENDMENT RIGHTS   Find Your Polling Place  Register To Vote  Write Your Lawmakers  Volunteer!    FOLLOW NRA-ILA © 2023 National Rifle Association of America, Institute For Legislative Action.
