This Disney Fails To Delight

Another film foray comes out with the Disney name attached, but will likely have none of the timeless charms you’d associate with the Magic Kingdom. Instead, it appears to be an anti-gun finger-wag from a multi-millionaire: Grandniece Abigail Disney brings us Pastor Rob Schenck in her documentary The Armor of Light

Ms. Disney’s own description of the project pretty much says it all: “I’ve spent most of the past two years making a documentary about a leading evangelical Christian minister who is strongly questioning the close ties between his religion and the NRA. (The film) shows how Rob Schenck, who operates an influential ministry on Capitol Hill in Washington, has begun asking whether pro-life Christians can also be pro-gun.”  

Who is Ms. Disney, Reuters or even Reverend Schenck to say “Jesus wouldn’t join the NRA?” This is perilously close to a non-trivial thing called blasphemy if you read the rest of your Bible.

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.
