Your NRA-ILA Daily Alert

view the web version of this email DAILY ALERT FOR Monday, July 8, 2019   NEWS Vox Wants to Take Your Guns A conspiracy relies on secrecy. Some are, perhaps, never uncovered. Others are exposed by the conspirators themselves, who cannot help but share the details whether from arrogance or anxiousness. For years, law-abiding gun owners and the American public at large have been told by anti-gun candidates that they "aren't coming to take your guns" but they "just want to…"   NEWS New Zealand Experience Further Proves Registration Facilitates Confiscations Firearms registration facilitates firearms confiscation. This fact has been demonstrated in recent weeks, as the New Zealand authorities have lamented that the country does not have a firearms registry to assist them in their gun confiscation efforts.   NEWS Recent Poll Shows Gun Control Not as Popular as Some Would Like to Believe A recent Morning Consult/POLITICO poll, conducted immediately prior to the recent  Democratic debates and gathering responses from 1,991 registered voters, asked about views toward the candidates, issues of potential importance in the election, voting intention, and the like. Of special concern to us were questions about gun policy (i.e., gun control). "Gun policy," like "common-sense laws," seems a benign allegory for denying Americans' Second Amendment freedoms.   NEWS Virginia: Defend Freedom, Oppose Gov. Northam in Richmond Tomorrow Governor Ralph Northam and his gun ban allies are ready to push their extreme anti-gun agenda when the General Assembly convenes its special session tomorrow--July 9th. Your NRA is calling on members and Second Amendment supporters to join in the fight against Gov. Northam's misguided gun control proposals by coming to Richmond on July 9th to personally urge their elected officials to stand up for our rights and oppose the Northam gun ban agenda.   NBC4I.COM Armed Utah teachers practice responding to school shootings Nancy Miramontes had 30 seconds to find the gunman. The Utah school psychologist weaved through a maze of dusty halls before spotting him in the corner of a classroom, holding a gun to a student's head. She took a deep breath and fired three shots, the first time she's ever used a gun. One bullet pierced the shooter's forehead.   THE SPOKESMAN-REVIEW Police say man shot as he breaks into neighbor's home in southwest Spokane It wasn't the first time the man had broken into the home, but it was the first time he'd been shot while trying. Spokane police say the intruder barged into his neighbor's home this weekend armed with "large kitchen style knives" in each hand – and was then shot in the chest by the homeowner.   FOX NEWS Lawrence Keane: The Democrats really are coming for your guns What a difference three years makes. The first primary debates showed us just how far the Democratic party has drifted on Second Amendment rights.   THE ROANOKE TIMES Suetterlein: Northam, unlike Kaine, politicizes a mass shooting Suetterlein represents a state Senate district that runs from Bedford County to Wythe County. He is a Republican. On April 17, 2007, then-Governor Tim Kaine emphatically expressed his disdain for those who would attempt to use the horrific murders at Virginia Tech for political advantage. "I think for people who want to take this after just twenty-four hours and make it into their political hobby horse to ride, I've got nothing but loathing for them," Governor Kaine declared. "They can take that elsewhere."
