2A March Draws Crowd

Indianapolis, IN

On opening day of the NRAAM 2023, the DC Project organized a march to the Indiana State Capitol, which was two blocks from the convention center, followed by a press conference in the North Atrium of the Capitol building.

The crowd participated in the march by carrying handmade signs with positive messaging like, “Guns save lives”, “Protect kids like politicians” and more.

Marchers chanted, smiled, and waved at passersby, giving the community a positive interaction with gun owners.

The group was joined by Indiana State Representative Peggy Mayfield and Congresswoman Victoria Spartz, both of whom expressed their unwavering support for the Second Amendment and for the DC Project.

Several ladies of the organization addressed the crowd by highlighting their stories and reasons for supporting firearms ownership.

“The world observes anti-gun activists marching on and swarming state capitols demanding more gun control. This was our opportunity to let the world see a counter-effort from our side, with pro-gun messaging,” said founder, Dianna Muller. Read more

Nebraska Constitutional Carry (Including Knives) Signed by Governor

Knife Rights supported Nebraska Constitutional Carry bill, LB 77 which covers knives and includes Knife Law Preemption, has been signed by Governor Jim Pillen. Gov. Pillen said, “this bill fulfills the promise I made to voters to uphold our Second Amendment rights and the ability of all law-abiding Nebraskans to defend themselves.”

NOTE: The new law does not take effect until 90 days after the legislature adjourns. With an expected June 9th adjournment, that is expected to be early in September, but will depend on the actual adjournment date. Knife Rights will let you know as the actual enactment date approaches.

All “weapons,” including knives, will be covered by Nebraska’s Constitutional Carry statute. The expanded “weapons” preemption statute will also cover Knife Law Preemption, one of Knife Rights signature legislative efforts. This will bring to 12 the number of states that have passed Knife Law Preemption since we started in 2010 with the nation’s first Knife Law Preemption bill in Arizona. Read more

NSSF Files Challenge Against Washington Gun Ban

WASHINGTON, D.C. — NSSF®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, filed a lawsuit against Washington’s Attorney General Robert Ferguson and John Batiste, Chief of Washington State Patrol, seeking declaratory and injunctive relief from state authorities enforcing HB 1240, the law that bans the sale and transfer of Modern Sporting Rifles (MSRs) and many other firearms. The lawsuit was filed within hours of Gov. Jay Inslee’s signature by Clement & Murphy, PLLC.

NSSF, along with other plaintiffs, is challenging Washington’s MSR ban, demonstrating that it violates the Second and Fourteenth Amendment. The U.S. Supreme Court held in Heller that the Second Amendment protects the rights to keep and bear arms “typically possessed by law-abiding citizens for lawful purposes.” There are over 24.4 million MSRs in circulation today, more than there are Ford F-150s on America’s roads.

“NSSF will not stand idly by as politicians cleave away fundamental Constitutional rights from Americans,” said Lawrence G. Keane, NSSF Senior Vice President & General Counsel. “The right to keep and bear arms that are commonly owned belongs to law-abiding citizens. Politicians in Washington exceed their authority when they usurp those rights to mollify radical special-interest groups. These politicians violate their oaths to protect and defend the Constitution and the rights of the citizens they represent.” Read more

WASHINGTON, D.C. — NSSF®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, welcomes the bipartisan introduction of the Federal Firearms Licensee (FFL) Protection Act, H.R. 2620, introduced by U.S. Reps. John Rutherford (R-Fla.) and Henry Cuellar (D-Texas). The bipartisan bill would strengthen and enhance criminal penalties for thefts of firearms from federally licensed firearm retailers. This legislation sends a strong message to those violent criminals engaging in these illicit activities and helps provide for safer communities, assists law enforcement and protects the livelihoods of firearm retailers.

“This bipartisan legislation is what true gun safety looks like. Congress is sending a clear message that the safety of our communities is nonnegotiable and targeting firearm retailers to steal guns in order to commit further crimes is intolerable,” said Lawrence G. Keane, Senior Vice President and General Counsel for NSSF. “The firearm industry is grateful to Congressmen Rutherford and Cuellar for reaching across the aisle to provide those firearm retailers who follow the law the protection they deserve. This legislation assigns the responsibility for crime where it belongs – with the criminal. These are real solutions that make our communities safer.” Read more
