This year the deception is again being backed by longtime Massachusetts anti-gun advocate and wealthy businessman John Rosenthal. Despite both Joe Biden and Kamala Harris's advocacy for gun confiscation and a host of other draconian gun measures, in a piece for Newsweek with the farcical title, "Individual Gun Ownership Is Not at Stake in This Election," Rosenthal claimed "[p]rivate gun ownership for responsible citizens will remain unchanged" during a Biden presidency. The piece is in the same vein as others that have lied about the ticket's anti-gun aims.   NEWS  ATF Releases New Procedures on Certain Retail and Private-to-Private Transactions Early this month, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) released two new procedure documents.   LEGAL & LEGISLATION New Hampshire: Urge Your Legislators to Sustain Governor Sununu's Veto of Firearm Seizure Bill As previously reported, Governor Sununu prevented the erosion of our Right to Keep and Bear Arms by vetoing firearm seizure legislation, House Bill 687.    NEWS  Kimber Joins Partners for Patriotism Match Campaign with up to $200,000 Pledge We would like to highlight one of our partners in the Partners for Patriotism campaign, Kimber!
