To say that the agenda-driven media often attempts to portray NRA and
gun owners in a negative light is an understatement. Some ignorant
writers and political commentators try to label NRA as extremists;
or worse. Others claim that gun owners exercising their right to carry
will resurrect the "Old West" and that laws recognizing this right "seem
almost designed to encourage violence." The actions of NRA members and
gun owners across America prove these bigoted opinions wrong on a daily
basis. However, the disparity between the anti-gun fever dream and
reality is at its most acute each year when NRA members and gun owners
gather for the NRA Annual Meetings.

Earlier this week, the Brady Center's Legal Action Project attorneys
Jonathan Lowy and Alla Lefkowitz withdrew from a Wisconsin lawsuit after
inadmissible evidence was published on Brady’s website in violation of
Wisconsin’s rules of professional conduct concerning trial
publicity. According to an article on the Journal Sentinel's website,
Milwaukee County Judge Jeffrey Conen may have given Lowy and Lefkowitz
the benefit of the doubt when he said, “I don't how things are practiced
in Washington, D.C., or New York or anywhere else, but out here in the
Midwest we have certain rules.” Judge Conen’s reference to Washington,
D.C. and New York was likely due to those being the jurisdictions of
Lowy’s and Lefkowitz’s bar membership, respectively.

If a picture is worth a thousand words, you should be skeptical about what this picture from "Moms Demand Action" has to say.

On April 2, the United States Court of Appeals for the District of
Columbia Circuit granted D.C.’s motion to voluntarily dismiss an appeal
of the ruling that held the District’s ban on carrying a firearm
outside the home for self-defense was unconstitutional. The District’s
decision not to continue the appeal ends one of the last outright bans
on carrying firearms in the United States. While this marks the end of
the District’s total ban, those wishing to lawfully carry firearms in
D.C. still have a long way to go before all law-abiding individuals have
a legal means of exercising their right to bear arms in the District.
Shortly after the ban was held unconstitutional last July, the D.C.
council adopted a temporary law that makes it all but impossible to get a
license to carry a concealed pistol. A nearly identical version of that
temporary law is still in effect, and a permanent version is under
review by Congress and set to become law on May 30.

Been thinking about retiring your old AR-15A1 and buying a suppressed,
short-barreled AR for home protection? Need a new AR, because you’ve
worn one out, shooting in Three-Gun matches? Been thinking about
improving your AR with a mil-spec barrel and bolt carrier assembly, a
“flat top” upper with a red dot sight, a low-profile handguard, and a
more effective flash hider? If so, Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-Conn.) has a
plan that can help you.
