NRA-ILA GRASSROOTS VOLUME 33, NUMBER 12 |
|
||
| Friday, March 20, brought the sad news that Chuck Norris, a great American patriot, had died. He was 86 years old. |
|
||
| Norfolk, VA, Commonwealth Attorney Ramin Fatehi was desperate to seize the narrative on responsibility for what the FBI are investigating as a terrorist attack on the campus of Old Dominion University that claimed the life of a professor of military science. Two students, both ROTC cadets, were also injured. |
|
||
| Today, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California granted a stipulation for final judgment and permanent injunction in Safari Club International v. Bonta, under which the state conceded that its firearm advertising restriction is unconstitutional and agreed to pay $481,749.72 in attorney fees incurred by the NRA in our fight to vindicate the plaintiffs’ basic free speech rights. |

| The saga of ATF’s enforcement of the National Firearm Act’s “short barreled rifle” provisions against braced pistols has been a roller coaster ride of shifting interpretations. NRA-ILA has been keeping up with, reporting on, and advocating for reform the entire time. It seemed we had reached a low point with the publication of the rule Factoring Criteria for Firearms With Attached “Stabilizing Braces” during the Biden-Harris administration. Yet NRA, along with other pro-Second Amendment groups, successfully challenged that rule in court, and its enforcement was enjoined against NRA members, as well as other plaintiff groups in similar suits. Eventually, the rule was vacated in its entirety. Unfortunately, that did not provide the lasting relief many had hoped. |

| Legal warfare continues against the firearms industry in the form of yet another lawsuit filed against Glock. |
|
||
| Anti-gun lawmakers in Virginia’s General Assembly recently earned well-deserved scorn by trying to create a special carveout for themselves in one of their numerous gun control bills. |
|
||
| The National Rifle Association, Second Amendment Foundation, and Firearms Owners Against Crime filed an amicus brief in Commonwealth v. Williams, urging the Pennsylvania Supreme Court to invalidate the state’s carry restrictions for adults under 21. |
