Act Now to Stop Obama/Holder Gun Registration Scheme

      Recently, a federal district court in Washington, D.C. issued a ruling upholding an Obama administration policy that requires federally licensed firearms retailers in states bordering Mexico to report multiple sales of semi-automatic rifles. The case was brought by two NRA-backed firearm retailers and by the National Shooting Sports Foundation acting on behalf of its affected members. Plaintiffs have already filed an appeal—but while we await the outcome, your help is urgently needed in seeking congressional action to end this illegal policy.

Hey everyone,

These aren't your typical patches at all, they are of high quality with velcro backs (Hooks) and here's a few pictures to prove it: 

The Year In Review

Here are some of the top stories we brought you in the NRA-ILA Grassroots Alert in 2011.  With what will be a critically important 2012, we must increase our efforts to ensure we're prepared to meet the great opportunities and challenges we will face next year.  We will continue to provide you with information in future Alerts to ensure our mutual success.

Dec. 2011

     On Dec. 5, the NRA filed its opening appellate brief on behalf of several law-abiding young adults challenging the federal ban on dealer sales of handguns and handgun ammunition to persons between the ages of 18 and 20. The case is Jennings v. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, and will be heard in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. (A similar case challenging Texas' age limit of 21 for issuance of concealed handgun licenses remains pending in the trial court.)

     The appeal challenges a ruling by the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas, which held that the law does not violate the Second Amendment.  The lower court wrongly compared the ban to other restrictions the Supreme Court has said would be "presumptively lawful," such as the ban on sales to convicted felons.

Federal Court Upholds Obama/Holder Gun Registration Scheme; Congressional Action Needed

Moments before this alert was to go out, a federal district court in Washington, D.C. issued a ruling upholding an Obama administration policy that requires federally licensed firearms retailers in states bordering Mexico to report multiple sales of semi-automatic rifles.  The case was brought by two NRA-backed firearms retailers and by the National Shooting Sports Foundation acting on behalf of its affected members.  Plaintiffs plan to appeal immediately—but in the meantime, your help is urgently needed in seeking congressional action to end this illegal policy.

Devised by Attorney General  Eric Holder's Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the plan requires all of the 8,700 firearm dealers in California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas to report all sales of two or more semi-automatic rifles within five consecutive business days, if the rifles are larger than .22 caliber and use detachable magazines.  (The plaintiffs in the case pointed out that this was about 20 times more dealers than had been subject to any similar "demand letter" before, but in today's decision the court nonetheless found the new requirement "limited in scope.")

It is imperative that you contact your U.S. Senators and ask them to cosponsor and support S. 570.  You can find contact information for your elected officials by using the "Write Your Representatives" tool at www.NRAILA.org, or you can call your U.S. senators at (202) 224-3121.

U.S. Marine survives 3 gunshot wounds to the chest by plugging wholes with fingers.

      Well everyone we all know about the "baddest kid on the block." You know the one who can handle him or herself in a fight. That one person that when he/she walks down the street everyone starts to whisper about saying "Don't mess with that person you'll get messed up." Well Ladies and Gentlemen I have news for you I believe I have found the "baddest man on the block." This person is Marine Lt. Col Karl Trenker. He was doing a favor for his fiancé by going to meet a potential buyer for a diamond necklace she had posted on Craigslist.

     Well, what is the biggest thing that most shooters usually converse about its pretty much ammunition right. Well I've been busy reading and doing research on the new things coming out for weapons. While I'm proud to write about the new magazines being developed and marketed by Surefire. Apparently they've created two new magazines one being a 60 round magazine called the MAG5 – 60 (Figure 1 - 2),
