NRA-ILA GRASSROOTS VOLUME 32, NUMBER 13 |
|
||
| On March 26, in a 7-2 decision (with Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito dissenting), the United States Supreme Court upheld a Biden administration gun control rule on what constitutes a “firearm” under 18 U.S.C. § 921(a)(3), the federal Gun Control Act of 1968 (GCA). The case is Bondi v. VanDerStok (formerly, Garland v. VanDerStok), and the Final Rule, published at 87 Fed. Reg. 24652, is entitled “Definition of ‘Frame or Receiver’ and Identification of Firearms.” |
|
||
| The United States Supreme Court, in its landmark Bruen decision recognizing a right to carry in public for self-defense, did not foreclose shall-issue licensing as being consistent with the Second Amendment. |
|
||
| On March 27, President Donald J. Trump signed a wide-ranging executive order titled, “Making the District of Columbia Safe and Beautiful.” |
|
||
| Today, the U.S. House Natural Resources Committee held a legislative hearing on H.R. 845, the Pet and Livestock Protection Act, sponsored by Representative Lauren Boebert (R-CO-04) and co-led by Representative Tom Tiffany (R-WI-07). This NRA-backed legislation would restore a 2020 Department of the Interior final rule to delist gray wolves from the Endangered Species Act (ESA), so management activities may be determined by the affected states using the best available science. |
|
||
| Congress is weighing two major gun rights bills, including one for nationwide concealed carry reciprocity |
|
||
| On Tuesday, March 25, 2025, the House Judiciary Committee held a markup for several bills, including two NRA-backed bills. With this crucial step in the legislative process now complete, these pieces of legislation can now be considered by the full U.S. House of Representatives. |
|
||
| Certain parts of the world—sadly, without any specifically recognized right to arms—have been moving closer to accepting the fact that firearms in the hands of law-abiding citizens is not the inherently dangerous concept promoted by anti-gun extremists. |
