NRA-ILA GRASSROOTS VOLUME 30, NUMBER 26
|
| | | | Here we go again. Four years after then-Vice President Joe Biden said, “Our enemy is the gun manufacturers,” gun control advocates are still trying to convince Americans that violent crime results from law-abiding businesses providing a constitutionally-protected product under exacting government scrutiny. Amidst the gun prohibition lobby’s never-ending – and usually illegal – campaign of harassing lawsuits, Everytown has now upped the ante with its new “research” effort, “Inside the Gun Shop.” The point is not to shed understanding on America’s regulated firearm industry, however, but to impugn and dox the businesses that make the Second Amendment possible. |
| | | | Former Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot made history this year, becoming the first mayor in that city to lose a re-election bid in 40 years. Lightfoot, a progressive who swept into office in 2019 on a landslide vote, was ousted in an election where public safety – specifically, runaway crime – was the dominant issue. |
| | | | With Virginia’s state elections underway, NRA-ILA has deployed Campaign Field Staff to the Virginia Beach area, and we could think of no better way to kick off our efforts than an NRA 2A Day with a strong Second Amendment Activist Center and community partner. |
| | | | With the state of Virginia in full election mode this year, NRA-ILA Grassroots is making important outreach in critical areas of the state by way of NRA-ILA’s Virginia Campaign Field Staff. Staff recently held a successful “NRA 2A Day” at Battlefield Firearms in Locust Grove, outside of Fredericksburg, where new volunteers descended upon the usually quiet, rural intersection of Routes 3 and 20, for a great day in celebration of the Second Amendment! |
| | | | The NRA-ILA Grassroots Team has been hard at work, building on the continued success of the NRA State Conference series in 2023. This year’s slate of events started off strong with hundreds of patriots gathering in support of “the Second”, in Nebraska. |
