NRA-ILA GRASSROOTS VOLUME 32, NUMBER 23 |
|
||
| For the second year in a row, gun control advocates have lost a unanimous decision at the U.S. Supreme Court. |
|
||
| Last week, after they were re-listed for conference 15 times, the U.S. Supreme Court finally denied petitions for review on two major Second Amendment cases, with just one vote shy of the four needed for review. |
|
||
| It is almost exactly three years ago that the United States Supreme Court ruled in the landmark case of NYSRPA v. Bruen, invalidating the “may issue” carry licensing regime in New York State and in the five other jurisdictions that continued to use subjective or extraordinary standards (“proper cause”) to prevent law-abiding citizens with ordinary self-defense needs from exercising their Second Amendment right to carry handguns publicly for self-defense. |
|
||
| It is no secret in the pro-2A community that many corporations have taken anti-gun positions or implemented policies detrimental to our right to arms. |
|
||
| Today, the Supreme Court of the United States issued its decision in the closely watched case, Smith & Wesson Brands, Inc. v. Estados Unidos Mexicanos, unanimously holding that the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA) bars Mexico’s attempt to hold several of America’s largest firearms manufacturers liable for violence committed by Mexican drug cartels. |
|
||
| Today, the National Rifle Association Institute for Legislative Action (NRA-ILA) filed a Petition for Certiorari requesting that the U.S. Supreme Court hear a challenge to the National Firearms Act of 1934’s restrictions on short-barreled rifles in a case named Rush v. United States. |
|
||
| Today, the National Rifle Association filed an amicus brief in Beckwith v. Frey, a case challenging Maine’s 72-hour waiting period on firearm purchases. |
|
||
| Yesterday, the National Rifle Association, Firearms Policy Coalition, and FPC Action Foundation filed an amicus brief arguing that the federal prohibition on machinegun possession is unconstitutional as applied to the defendant in the Fifth Circuit case, United States v. Brown. |

| NRA-ILA Executive Director John Commerford joins Cam for a wide ranging conversation that hits on the Supreme Court’s denial of Snope, the latest on suppressor deregulation in the budget reconciliation bill, and attempts by anti-gun lawmakers in Maine to bolster a “red flag” referendum by violating state law. |
