Background Check Bill Moves in US Senate

The White House and relevant agencies already have a 40-point plan to enact new gun controls without any check from Congress. Not a single vote must be cast where we have a chance to lobby our local members of the House or two Senators.
Political Sign Wars Have Begun
With election season now in full swing, it is once again time for what I call the “Sign Wars.†This is one of those thing in politics that seems silly, because who ever has been convinced by a sign?

EPA Considering Lead Ammunition Ban
NSSF is springing into action, as the public comment period opens on EPA considering a regulation that will ban all traditional lead ammunition.

Joint Statement by Wayne LaPierre, NRA Executive Vice President & CEO, and Chris Cox, Executive Director of NRA’s Institute for Legislative Action There may be no vote a United States Senator casts that is more important than a vote to confirm a nominee to the U.S. Supreme Court.

A Round-Up of Reactions from the Anti-Gun Groups
It’s worth noting some reactions. I think Jacob had the money quite earlier when he said, “Who will have the most outrageous outburst? Daley, Bloomberg or Meano?” Well, Bloomberg’s statement is here, in which he declares victory in McDonald. This reflects the opinion of the Brady Campaign, who are also declaring victory.
