“gun control”

The National Rifle Association welcomes the Supreme Court’s decision in NYSRPA v. Bruen. The Court affirmed that the right to bear arms does not stop at a person’s front door. This is the most significant Second Amendment ruling in more than a decade. 

President Biden and his anti-gun administration have directed the ATF to define what a gun is and to issue new regulations on the manufacture and sale of privately made firearms.

The NRA released the following statement on Tuesday, June 21.

The ATF has a troubled history, but its agents also do important work. It's time we acknowledge this and so keep them out of politics.

The ATF has a very clear mission: follow the laws as Congress writes them. Instead, the ATF and the executive branch routinely attempt to sidestep Congress and create laws themselves.

We inherited a great freedom thanks to the sacrifices of generations of Americans who came before us. And we are charged with continuing that great legacy handed down to us.

The data shows that the bulk of violent crimes in major cities are perpetrated by small numbers of known criminals. Rather that subjecting those criminals to vigorous prosecution, soft-on-crime prosecutors and politicians would rather blame law-abiding gun owners.

Here is what we stand for and how we support the call to service during these difficult times.

The U.S. House of Representatives recently passed two gun-control bills.
