While gun-control advocates scream for more gun laws, Americans are lining up to purchase firearms in unprecedented numbers. Criminal background checks have been recorded with monthly figures topped only by successive months. American citizens across the nation are arming themselves like never before.
With gun control in crosshairs of many, it seems appropriate to discuss the merits of gun control, but not in the traditional sense. Law-abiding, responsible American gun owners – be they city dwellers or living off the grid – should be able to agree to two types of gun control: 1) Keeping guns inaccessible to those that shouldn’t have them, and 2) Hitting your target.
The first one is easy. When not in use, guns should be locked up and a good gun safe will take care of that, but even trigger locks are better than nothing.
The second point can be problematic for new shooters, and Read more
As the Michigan state Senate finishes its second week of the new legislative session, pro-gun legislators have already begun to advocate for the rights of law-abiding gun owners. State Senator Thomas Casperson (R-38) filed a bill that would keep the personal information of permit-to-purchase applicants confidential and exempt from Freedom of Information Act requests. This bill, Senate Bill 49, has been scheduled for a hearing on Wednesday January 23 in the Senate Judiciary Committee at 8:30 am.
In other parts of the country, anti-gun media outlets abused their privileges under the Freedom of Information Act and have jeopardized the safety of law-abiding citizens by publishing the names and addresses of registered gun owners. Contrary to their claims, these media elites have not increased public safety. Rather they have simply provided a map for criminals to use on their next burglary. SB 49 would make sure that never happens in Michigan by exempting permit-to-purchase applications from Freedom of Information Act requests. Read more
As has been widely reported, an NRA representative recently met with an Obama administration-directed firearm task forceled by longtime gun control supporter Vice-President Joe Biden. It came as no surprise that the meeting had little to do with keeping our children safe and much to do with an agenda to attack the Second Amendment. But you may be surprised to know one of the revelations that came out of the meeting. Read more

Fairfax, Va. – Throughout its history, the National Rifle Association has led efforts to promote safety and responsible gun ownership. Keeping our children and society safe remains our top priority.
The NRA will continue to focus on keeping our children safe and securing our schools, fixing our broken mental health system, and prosecuting violent criminals to the fullest extent of the law. We look forward to working with Congress on a bi-partisan basis to find real solutions to protecting America’s most valuable asset – our children.
Attacking firearms and ignoring children is not a solution to the crisis we face as a nation. Only honest, law-abiding gun owners will be affected and our children will remain vulnerable to the inevitability of more tragedy.
