Leave it to a California politician to join the fray in calling for more gun control, even though we have seen that not one of the Golden State’s restrictions did anything to stop the shooting at Thousand Oaks. She tweeted her outrage about how the Congress needs to act now.

And why wouldn’t she. The liberals have a House majority now. Not that any bill the House passes stands much chance of getting through the Senate and being signed by President Donald Trump. But, hey, let’s all get on the anti-gun bandwagon, right Sen. Harris?

She cited the shooting in Parkland, Fla.—of course—as the main reason for her tweet. But she failed to mention that Marjory Stoneman Douglas is a gun-free zone. And the incident at the Borderline Bar & Grill in her home state? Well, the state outlawed guns there, too.

The one thing she and others of her ilk seem to be forgetting is this: Criminals don’t really care about the law. That’s what defines them as criminals.

But the Left—with its many adherents who never met a law they didn’t like—seem to overlook such things. Not that they pertain to them, anyway. How many anti-gunners have you seen with armed protection?

It seems like their whole purpose is to make it look like they’re doing something—anything, even though the actions aren’t well-thought-out at all.

Wow! How fast a year has gone by since being elected president at the end of April last year! My first column was titled “It’s A New Day At The NRA,” and included the following:

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.
