Time For Public Comment On New Rules For Guns In National Parks
May 4, 2008This is an important issue that all Americans should chime in on. It has to do with your ability to adequately defend yourself and others in areas where dangerous animals do in fact exist. Not to mention the possibility of human criminal acts.
On April 30, the U.S. Department of Interior, through the National Park Service and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, issued a proposed rule to amend the current strict regulations on firearms in national parks and wildlife refuges. NRA-ILA led the effort to amend the existing policy regarding the carrying and transportation of firearms on these federal lands. The public has until June 30 to comment on the proposal, and NRA-ILA strongly urges members to file comments in support.
Renewed Attack on Privacy of Gun Buyers
May 4, 2008|
Lautenberg is back at it again with yet another assault on the American people. When will he ever be sated? I doubt that will ever happen. He is such an egotistical authoritarian maniac that he will probably be bossing around the people that embalm him. Now he is attempting to link firearms buyers to terrorism. Well Senator, you are the terrorist, and enemy of the American people.
Renewed Attack on Privacy of Gun Buyers |
| Friday, May 02, 2008 |
| This week, anti-gun U.S. Senator Frank R. Lautenberg (D-NJ) introduced National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) registration legislation that would invade the privacy rights of law-abiding gun owners.
Cosponsored by like-minded Sens. Robert Menendez (D-NJ), Carl Levin (D-MI), Joseph Lieberman (I-CT), Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), Jack Reed (D-RI), and Charles Schumer (D-NY), S. 2935 would, among other things, require the FBI to retain records of cleared firearm transactions for at least 180 days. Current law requires federally-licensed firearm dealers to conduct a background check on a prospective buyer using NICS prior to selling a firearm. NICS creates an audit log of the purchase during the course of the search. Under current Justice Department regulations, those records must be destroyed within 24 hours to preserve the lawful purchaser’s privacy. The Clinton Administration originally proposed keeping these records for as long as 180 days. NRA successfully fought to reduce this time period to 24 hours. Lautenberg’s legislation would undo this regulation. Once again trying to create a link where none exists, Lautenberg opined, “We must overturn the ill-conceived law mandating destruction of this data so we can successfully combat gun violence and terrorism in America.” This latest anti-gun scheme should further remind gun owners of the importance of this year’s elections. S. 2935 demonstrates that threats to our Second Amendment rights remain very much alive. Sen. Lautenberg has a long and well-documented anti-gun record, and in sponsoring legislation that is a gross invasion of law-abiding gun owners’ privacy, his intentions are clearly aimed at further restriction of those rights. |

New York City Lawsuit Against America’s Firearm Industry Blocked
May 4, 2008Some politicians just never learn do they? Well Bloomberg, you lost, and the American people won a victory.
| New York City Lawsuit Against America’s Firearm Industry Blocked |
| Friday, May 02, 2008 |
| The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit has delivered a major blow to New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg’s lawsuit aimed at bankrupting the firearms industry, by ruling on April 30 that the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA) of 2005 blocks the city’s lawsuit against a host of gun makers and distributors.
“The blocking of this bogus lawsuit against America’s firearm industry is an important victory,” declared NRA-ILA Executive Director Chris W. Cox. “New York City’s lawsuit was a politically motivated attack by an anti-gun mayor to bankrupt a lawful industry.” The Second Circuit, like other courts around the country, found that the law is constitutional and that District Judge Jack B. Weinstein had wrongly interpreted its exceptions. Weinstein, one of the most frequently overruled federal judges in the country, had said that the suit, under a “public nuisance” law, was still allowed under the PLCAA. After reviewing the history of the PLCAA, Judge Robert J. Miner wrote, “We think Congress clearly intended to protect from vicarious liability members of the firearms industry who engage in the ‘lawful design, manufacture, marketing, distribution, importation, or sale’ of firearms.” This decision is just the latest setback for Mayor Bloomberg, who has also been publicly rebuked by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives for his unlawful “sting” operations against firearm retailers in several states. |

Colorado: Prairie Dog Hunting Ban Defeated!
May 4, 2008Pasture rat hunting survives the ban!
| Colorado: Prairie Dog Hunting Ban Defeated! |
| Friday, May 02, 2008 |
|
Please Call the Commission Members and Thank Them Today! Thanks to your calls and attendance at last week’s meeting of the Colorado Wildlife Commission in Junction City, a proposed ban on prairie dog hunting was defeated by a 9 to 0 vote ensuring that the necessary hunting of these animals can continue. While radical anti-hunting/animal rights groups targeted prairie dog hunting as cruel, it is a traditional sporting activity and necessary management tool, especially for ranching interests in the state. Please call Commission members and thank them for protecting your right to hunt. You can reach the members of the Commission at (303) 297-1192. |
