The U.S. Senate and U.S. House were back in session in Washington D.C. this week and because of your calls and emails, each of the NRA supported National Right-to-Carry bills have seen an increase in cosponsorship. Please continue to send a message to President Obama and Michael Bloomberg, that we want National Right to Carry Reciprocity. Please contact your elected officials and urge them to cosponsor and support these important bills:
