Thanks to our friends at ammoland.com for again pointing out something we’ve long known: Kamala Harris is a big hypocrite.

It seems that Harris, a 2020 Democratic presidential frontrunner and gun-ban advocate, regularly receives more armed security than most California “dignitaries.”

“Armed, plain-clothes LAPD officers were dispatched to California cities outside of Los Angeles at least a dozen times to provide security for U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris at public events, media appearances and a party,” NBC Los Angeles recently reported. “The LAPD routinely provides security for dignitaries and officials visiting L.A., but a senior retired department official said the courtesy extended to Sen. Harris for her travels to other cities was unprecedented.”

It’s just another example of Harris’ guns-for-me-but-not-for-thee philosophy. She’s more than happy to curtail the rights of average citizens to defend themselves and their families, but doesn’t plan to give up her means of protection anytime soon.

I am a big believer in transparency. Each individual needs privacy from unconstitutional government intrusion—this especially includes what guns a law-abiding American citizen might own—but an association of freedom-loving citizens must be transparent.

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.
