NRA-ILA NEWS ALERT from 7-8-2016:  Download the official NRA-ILA App! That’s right!  There is now an app for all of us to help us send out a loud message to anti-gun lawmakers: the NRA, its members and its activists, would fight like hell to defend the Second Amendment at the ballot box this November.  In Draft Party Platform, Democrats Regress on Gun Rights, and the Party is set to adopt a GUN CONTROL plank in their 2016 party platform that lays bare the party leadership’s antipathy towards gun rights. The draft 2016 plank marks a significant shift in the party’s approach to the issue.  The Myth of “Declining “ Gun Ownershp is just that, Americans are buying guns at an unprecedented rate and have been doing so for some time. Gun Control supporters want politicians to believe that it is, on the theory that politicians are more likely to vote for restrictions if they think that opponents of restrictions are in the minority. Democrats Launch another Protest over Guns on the House Floor, and it seems they are more interested in taking away more of your rights then try to help this country get back on its feet. Signatures submitted in plan to RESTRICT guns in Washington with initiative 1491, backed by Alliance for Gun Responsibility, comes after legislative efforts to create “extreme risk” protection orders failed earlier this year. In Arizona: Tucson City Council bans sale of popular semi-automatic firearms at convention center and any weapon capable of firing 10 or more rounds can no longer be sold at the Tucson Convention Center. The Tucson City Council voted unanimously Wednesday night to add more restrictions on private gun sales at the city-owned venue.  GUN PURCHASES Continue to SOAR, and you can thank the Democrats for that with Americans not taking to Hillary Clinton’s sour attitude towards guns. Maybe they’re arming themselves out of concern about terrorists and criminals of a more conventional stripe. And maybe they’re showing what they think of members of Congress who use terrorists’ crimes as the excuse to push for more gun control.
