NRA-ILA GRASSROOTS VOLUME 26, NUMBER 5

| | On January 8, two bills were introduced in Congress to impose so-called "universal" background checks. The bills, H.R. 8 and S. 42, are being misleadingly described as simply requiring background checks on all sales of firearms, but this is just a small part of what these overbroad pieces of legislation would do. |
| | South Dakota Governor Noem signs Senate Bill 47, an NRA-backed bill recognizing constitutional carry, into law. This measure allows law-abiding gun owners to carry a concealed firearm without a government permit. |
| | NRA applauds amicus brief signed by 23 attorneys general in support of Rogers v. Grewal, an NRA-backed Supreme Court case challenging New Jersey's unconstitutional requirements for obtaining a handgun carry permit. |
| | In her bid for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination, Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) has enlisted several former Hillary Clinton staffers. Harris also appears intent on using the failed 2008 and 2016 presidential candidate’s gun control playbook. |
| | The entertainment industry’s virtue-signaling is as high as an elephant’s eye and it looks like it’s climbing clear up to the sky. |
