CBS Atlanta Targets Gun Magazines

They’ve targeted so-called “high-capacity” magazines; now they’re targeting the kind full of words and pictures. CBS 46 in Atlanta has been airing a series of reports aimed at “presenting the pros and cons of the United States gun debate.” So far, “The Gun Fight” looks to be a pretty one-sided debate. 

The latest report from Tuesday rolled out a new anti-gunner term: “gun porn.” Investigative reporter Karyn Greer describes gun porn as “photos of guns that display them in the same carefully posed and lighted manner as the models in traditional pornography.” Greer visited Publix, Kroger and Wal-Mart, only to discover that these “gun porn” magazines—with headlines like “Don’t Be a Victim” and “The Ultimate Guide to Staying Alive”—were easily accessible to young children.

You can only imagine our horror at discovering that our coffee table displays of American Rifleman magazines have for years been offering up porn to our guests and their children.

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.
