| NRA-ILA GRASSROOTS VOLUME 26, NUMBER 3 | | | | On January 8, two bills were introduced in Congress to impose so-called "universal" background checks. The bills, H.R. 8 and S. 42, are being misleadingly described as simply requiring background checks on all sales of firearms, but this is just a small part of what these overbroad pieces of legislation would do.  | | | Pittsburgh City Council member Corey O’Connor wants local residents to relinquish important aspects of their Second Amendment rights. If they refuse, he would have it cost them their liberty and treasure. But O’Connor himself apparently doesn’t believe he is bound by the law in making this happen, only that it’s permissible because he considers it “the right thing.†| | | NRA is often vilified by the gun-ban community and its supporters in the mainstream, legacy media as an “extremist†organization because of its steadfast defense of our Right to Keep and Bear Arms. A simple look into the anti-gun agenda, however, will show that proponents of restriction on a right protected by the U.S. Constitution are the true extremists. | | STATE GRASSROOTS ROUND-UP | | | | BECOME A NRA-ILA PARTNER IN FREEDOM: | | | © 2019 National Rifle Association of America, Institute For Legislative Action.
