Fairfax, VA – -(AmmoLand.com)- The NRA will support legislation that improves school security, promotes mental health services, and helps reduce violent crime.
However, we will oppose this gun control legislation [2022 Bipartisan Safer Communities Act] because it falls short at every level. It does little to truly address violent crime while opening the door to unnecessary burdens on the exercise of Second Amendment freedom by law-abiding gun owners.
This legislation can be abused to restrict lawful gun purchases, infringe upon the rights of law-abiding Americans, and use federal dollars to fund gun control measures being adopted by state and local politicians. This bill leaves too much discretion in the hands of government officials and also contains undefined and overbroad provisions – inviting interference with our constitutional freedoms.
Decisions by the Supreme Court of the United States in the Heller and McDonald cases make clear that the Second Amendment is an individual constitutional freedom. We will always fight for those freedoms – and the fundamental values we have defended for over 150 years.

Yeah, the NRA needs money to finance further fund raising which will cover most of Wayne’s and the board’s ridiculous spending with little action to oppose the new legislation. GOA is the future if we have one. The NRA is so corrupt, I don’t see how it can be repaired in it’s current form.
SCOTUS 6-3 strikes down NY permit BS law today.
Hopefully we see more states pass Constitutional Carry as a result. (Which is the Right I already have) strange how we have to pass laws for things that are already in the Constitution.
The NY Government needs to go F themselves. Along with WLP
There is a surprise.
The NRA most be out of money, and need to steel from their members & patrons again, to line their pockets all over. “Nobody” Trusts the NRA anymore, to stand up for what is right for the pro gun and 2A community. the NRA has lost all credibility with any gun community. They may as well be the Politicians that they are suppose to be fighting against. “Nobody” has any faith in the NRA and they are damaged goods, and I don’t think they can ever reconcile what they have done to the firearms community. Abolish gun legislation and all… Read more »
