The Second Amendment v. “Innovative” Gun Control

Read this week's Grassroots Alert! view the web version of this email NRA-ILA GRASSROOTS VOLUME 30, NUMBER 14   NEWS   The Second Amendment v. "Innovative" Gun Control Gun control advocates are ceaseless innovators in the realm of limiting freedom. They continuously devise new and bizarre policies to undermine the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding Americans.   NEWS   Update from La-La-Land: Prioritize "Decarceration" In Los Angeles, the local transit agency has resorted to the desperation tactic of playing classical music in a downtown subway station to see if it has any impact on the crime, vagrants, drug users, and calls to police from transit customers. Even as violent crime (robbery, aggravated assault, and rape) in the metro system increased 24% in 2022 compared with 2021, some politicians feel that ramped-up music is preferable to ramped-up policing. Hilda Solis, for instance, a member of the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, reportedly issued a statement to The L.A. Times indicating she supports "safety interventions" that "introduce alternatives to deploying additional armed law enforcement on the system."   TAKE ACTION   Grassroots Spotlight: Meet Indiana Frontlines Activist Leader Mike Lee Mike Lee is an NRA-ILA FrontLines Activist Leader in Indiana that knows the true power of grassroots engagement! As a concerned Indiana citizen, Mike Lee regularly attends his county council meetings to ensure that no firearms-related regulations are passed. In 2019, Mike discovered that the local council planned to implement gun control regulations that would impact him and nearly everyone in the county. He quickly reached out to the National Rifle Association's Institute for Legislative Action (NRA-ILA) to ask about possible solutions and assistance.   LEGAL & LEGISLATION  HUNTING   Attend Firearms Law Seminar in Indianapolis Please join us at the Annual National Firearms Law Seminar, to be held on Friday, April 14th, as part of the NRA Annual Meetings.
