Some Closures in Place for Michigan State Parks

It’s an exciting time for our state parks and we can’t wait for you to see the end results and the consequential bill to be paid by your grandchildren.

Thanks to a massive $250 million investment made possible through the American Rescue Plan Act, many Michigan state parks, trails and other outdoor spaces are receiving some much-needed TLC. New roads and parking lots, upgraded electrical and water systems, new accessible toilet buildings, new water jug fillers and trail enhancements are just a few examples of the type of monumental work taking place across the state.

While some locations will temporarily close for improvements, most remain open for your next outdoor adventure. If your favorite park is getting a facelift as part of these important investments, consider trying out a different spot and explore a new-to-you destination!

NSSF Hails Bicameral Letter Protecting Lake City Army Ammunition Plant from Political Intrusion

NSSF®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, praised a bicameral letter signed by over 100 Members of Congress and U.S. Senators warning the Secretary of the Army not to risk military readiness to appease gun control special interests.

The letter to Secretary of the Army Christine E. Wormuth warned that succumbing to political pressure from New York Attorney General Letitia James to end the commercial utilization of ammunition produced at the Lake City Army Ammunition Plant in Independence, Mo., could have potentially devastating effects on military readiness. A Defense Department contract allows the plant to maintain peak readiness of machinery and skilled personnel by funding the cost through commercial utilization. Previously, the U.S. Army found machines that had been mothballed and a reduced skilled labor force when the U.S. military and allied nations needed ammunition produced at peak levels to sustain the War on Terror.

“Ensuring our military forces are equipped with the ammunition they need to defend our nation should never be a political football for gun control special interests or the politicians supporting their radical agenda,” said Lawrence G. Keane, NSSF Senior Vice President & General Counsel. “The short-sighted and ham-fisted attempt to force gun control policies at the expense of military readiness is unfathomable to most. Fortunately, our nation’s military readiness is a priority for over 100 Members of Congress and U.S. Senators who signed this letter urging the Army Secretary to put military readiness ahead of special-interest partisan politics.” Read more

SAF, Partners Petition SCOTUS for Review in Challenge of Gun Ban

Attorneys representing the Second Amendment Foundation and its partners in a federal challenge of the Illinois ban on modern semi-auto firearms and “large-capacity magazines” have filed a petition with the U.S. Supreme Court, seeking certiorari in the case of Harrel v. Raoul.

SAF is joined by the Illinois State Rifle Association, Firearms Policy Coalition, Inc., C4 Gun Store, LLC, Marengo Guns, Inc., and a private citizen, Dane Harrel, for whom the case is named. The federal complaint was originally filed in January 2023. They are represented by attorneys David Thompson, Peter Patterson, and Will Bergstrom of Cooper & Kirk, PLLC and David Sigale in Wheaton, Ill.

“Clearly,” said SAF founder and Executive Vice President Alan M. Gottlieb, “the Illinois gun and magazine bans are unconstitutional under principles set down in the 2008 Heller ruling and the 2022 Bruen decision. In both of those opinions, the high court said the Second Amendment protects firearms in common use. It is indisputable that modern semiautomatic rifles and magazines holding more than ten cartridges are in common use by tens of millions of U.S. citizens, so such a ban is, in the court’s own words, ‘off the table.’” Read more

NSSF Petitions SCOTUS To Overturn Illinois Ban on Semiautomatic Firearms, Standard Magazines

NSSF®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court in Barnett v. Raoul, to consider the Constitutionality of Illinois’ ban on over 1,000 models of firearms including Modern Sporting Rifles (MSRs) and standard-capacity magazines.

NSSF argues that the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit erred in its judgment upholding the state’s ban on the purchase and possession of more than 1,000 previously lawful semiautomatic rifles, pistols and shotguns – including the most popular semiautomatic rifle in America. The state’s ban on these firearms, and standard-capacity magazines, violates the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. Read more
