Antis Scream About NRA’s Seat At The Table

** When you buy products through the links on our site, we may earn a commission that supports NRA's mission to protect, preserve and defend the Second Amendment. **

When those who are dedicated to destroying your right to keep and bear arms are screaming to high heaven, you know you are doing something right. The latest thing for gun-banners to go unhinged over is the fact that President Donald Trump invited NRA Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre to sit beside him in the White House last week as he discussed his Supreme Court nominee, Judge Neil Gorsuch.

After the meeting, Bloomberg-funded Everytown for Gun Safety made a Facebook post showing Trump and LaPierre sitting together, and wrote: “This picture is worth a thousand words, and in this case, none of them are good.”

In fact, the picture is worth a thousand words. But in reality, all of them are good. NRA members and other gun owners strongly supported Trump in the election, and his promises about the Supreme Court were one big reason. Now the president has lived up to those promises—much to the chagrin of the crybabies at Everytown and other gun-ban groups.

U.S. v. Hemani Arguments

On March 2, the U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments in U.S. v. Hemani. The case involves a defendant who is fighting a federal indictment for possessing a firearm while being a marijuana user.

President’s Column | Getting You Up to Speed

A lot of things have occurred over the past month or so that not all members are completely aware of. I’ll use my column this month to update you on some important issues—transparency.

Standing Guard | The NRA Gathers to Celebrate Our Freedom

The momentum we’re seeing across the country is both encouraging and energizing. January opened with tremendous activity at the NRA booth during SHOT Show, where members, industry partners and supporters stopped by to connect, share ideas and reaffirm their commitment to freedom and the Second Amendment.

Port Authority Doubles Down on Constitution-Free Zone with High-Profile Arrest

As anyone who has passed a basic civics class knows, the U.S. Constitution is the supreme law of the land. All legislation and official government actions are subject to its limits.
