NRA-ILA GRASSROOTS ALERTS

Grassroots Alert: Vol. 32, No. 44 11/3/2025​


Support NRA-ILA
After the nasty tricks of the Biden-Harris administration, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) continues to hand out treats under President Trump.
Earlier this year, the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, Jeanine Pirro, announced a critical change to policies affecting gun rights in Washington D.C.
An NRA-ILA alert last month highlighted the ways in which President Donald Trump has used his office to safeguard our rights protected under the Second Amendment.
A few weeks ago, we mentioned that the anti-gun extremists at Everytown were ready to launch their own gun “safety” course.
Last week, the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) published an article entitled, “Six Words Every Killer Should Know: ‘I Feared for My Life, Officer.” Using a mis-mash of half-baked statistics, legal misinformation, and cherry-picked anecdotes, it tried to make a case that there is just too much darned self-defense going on in America.

Grassroots Alert: Vol. 32, No. 45 11/11/2025​


Support NRA-ILA
Earlier this evening, the U.S. Senate passed on a legislative proposal to reopen the federal government. Included in this package was the Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies bill. This legislation maintained a provision that prohibits the Department of Veterans Affairs from stripping the constitutional right of veterans to possess a firearm without due process simply because they have been appointed a fiduciary to manage their benefits.
On October 30th, 2025, Senator Jim Risch [R-ID] introduced the Firearm Access During Shutdown Act (S.3085), with Congressman Ben Cline [R-VA-6] introducing the companion legislation in the U.S. House (H.R. 5874).
In a tacit acknowledgement of just how unworkable its gun ban and confiscation program is, Canada’s Liberal government quietly extended the gun amnesty for an additional year, just before it was due to expire on October 30 – the third time (so far) that the date has been pushed forward.
Gun owners in Virgina, home of NRA’s Headquarters, are still absorbing the results of last Tuesday’s elections. In addition to the election of Democrat Abigail Spanberger, a former Mom’s Demand Action volunteer, as governor, we now have an attorney general who thinks the shooting of a political rival and the death of his “little fascist” children might finally prompt the gun control he supports. All major branches of Virginia government are now controlled by anti-gun extremists who received huge amounts of financial support from the country’s largest firearm prohibition lobbies. And yet, as NRA faces the fight of its life where many of us live and work, the message of a 100-year-old veteran of the British army urges us on in our task. His sad lament reminds us that too many have paid too great a price for freedom for surrender to be an option. We must carry on the struggle, come what may.
Few communities take the products they use as seriously as gun owners. A firearm is often a tool that a person needs to be able to trust their life with. Add brand loyalty and differences of opinion on design, ergonomics, function, calibers, and aesthetics and there are the makings for passionate debate.

Eventually, the rule was vacated in its entirety. Unfortunately, that did not provide the lasting relief many had hoped.
