Tell Your U.S. Senators and Representative to Oppose Gun Control

view the web version of this email NRA-ILA GRASSROOTS VOLUME 26, NUMBER 30   NEWS   Tell Your U.S. Senators and Representative to Oppose Gun Control In the wake of the recent two criminal mass attacks, a number of gun control proposals have begun to circulate in our nation's capital. None of these proposals would have prevented the recent tragedies, but they all would restrict the rights of law-abiding gun owners. According to the Department of Justice (DOJ), 75 percent of criminals in state and federal state prison who had possessed a firearm during their offense acquired the firearm through theft, "Off the street/underground market," or "from a family member or friend, or as a gift." Less than one percent got firearms from dealers or non-dealers at gun shows.   NEWS   Bill Clinton Touts Failed Gun Ban With Bogus Info Bill and Hillary Clinton just don't draw like they used to. Shunned by much of his own party, (described by one Vanity Fair commentator as "2020's bubonic plague") the former president has been relegated to providing lazy commentary on the issues of the day. Such was the case this week when the would-be first gentleman penned an op-ed touting one of his presidential administration's abject policy failures, the so-called "assault weapons" ban.   NEWS   "Universal" Background Checks Aren't as Universally Popular as You've Been Led to Believe Advocates of so-called "universal" background checks constantly cite their own polling data to claim that the vast majority of Americans support these measures. But, when these measures have actually been presented to voters, support is nothing close to universal. Take for example the background check ballot initiatives on the 2016 ballots in Maine and Nevada.   NEWS   Kamala Harris and Her Perplexing Anti-Gun Ideas U.S. Senator Kamala Harris (D-Calif.), one of the two-dozen Democrat presidential hopefuls vying to take on President Donald Trump in 2020, has been promoting her anti-gun platform for many months. This isn't really news, as every Democrat seeking the party's nomination has embraced virulently anti-gun policies in some way, shape or form. The apparent task of each candidate, including Harris, is to prove he or she is the MOST anti-gun. This, it would appear, is necessary to satisfy the anti-gun extremists that hope to guide the entire Democrat Party down the path of eviscerating the Second Amendment.   STATE GRASSROOTS ROUND-UP New Hampshire New Hampshire: Gov.
