April 2017
Happy belated Easter to everyone... it's tough to try to go over a month of news, as things are happening at break-neck speeds these days!
We've launched cruise missiles into Syria, dropped a MOAB in Afghanistan, and what could have been the most important event, North Korean's missile launch, proved to be a big failure.
Terrorists continue to do what they do, but the world knows the last 8 years of doing nothing are over, and those terrorist organizations now know they might be targeted where ever they may be hiding. Other adversaries have also seen that it's not business as usual any more, and that actions have consequences.
Domestically, the U.S. Senate voted to confirm Neil M. Gorsuch to the U.S. Supreme Court. Judge Gorsuch’s nomination was heavily backed by the NRA, both because of the pro-Second Amendment views expressed in his judicial writings and his originalist approach to jurisprudence.
Justice Antonin Scalia exemplified originalism in his landmark Heller opinion in 2008 that recognized the Second Amendment protects an individual right grounded in the principle of self-defense, and Gorsuch we hope will follow in his footsteps as he starts in his new role today.
In our little world, we've selected a winner for the Standard Manufacturing giveaway. We've also released the ARFCOM AR pistols that were on display at SHOT 2017 featuring the Maxim Defense pistol braces, and added nitrided BCGs to the store.
And in less than two weeks, the NRA Annual Meetings kick off in Atlanta!
2017 NRA Annual Meetings - April 27-30 in Atlanta, GA
President Donald Trump will speak at the National Rifle Association’s annual leadership forum in Atlanta later this month.
Trump’s secretary of the interior, Ryan Zinke is also expected to speak at the conference, as are other prominent Republicans, such as Florida Gov. Rick Scott, Sheriff David Clarke, Lt Col. Allen West and Sens. Ted Cruz, Luther Strange, David Perdue and Rob Portman.
