NRA-ILA GRASSROOTS VOLUME 23, NUMBER 22
|
| | Fairfax, Va.— The chairman of the National Rifle Association's Political Victory Fund, Chris W. Cox, released the following statement regarding the gun control lobby’s endorsement of Hillary Clinton: |
| | On Monday, New York Magazine provided the public with even more evidence of Hillary Clinton’s disdain for the Supreme Court’s landmark ruling in District of Columbia v. Heller, which recognized that the Second Amendment protects an individual right to keep and bear arms. |
| | Washington, D.C. has once again lapsed into its usual pattern of denying Second Amendment rights with a federal appeals court ruling on May 27 that effectively blocks a lower court order that briefly made D.C. a shall-issue jurisdiction for concealed carry licenses. |
| | Katie Couric may be the journalist – we use the term loosely – that for the last few days has been taking the most heat for dishonest coverage of guns. But some in the TV “news” business have been just as dishonest in the past, and others are just as dishonest today. |
| | Most guns aren’t registered, most gun owners aren’t licensed, and firearm-related violent crime is at nearly an all-time low, but in the New York Times on Monday, gun control supporter Alan Berlow claimed that “the case for registration and licensing is stronger now than ever.” |
| | Contrary to the grassroots image that anti-gun groups try to portray, their funding continues to come from large donations by billionaires who are driving an anti-gun agenda. Perhaps the worst examples of this trend can be found in Nevada and Maine where voters will consider gun control ballot initiatives this November. |
| | By now you’ve probably heard: Yahoo’s Katie Couric, who produced and narrated an anti-gun documentary, “Under the Gun,” deceptively edited footage to embarrasses gun-rights supporters and misrepresent their message. |
