Not Funny: Firearm Prohibitionists Finally Target Elmer Fudd’s Gun
<[link removed]>
For some in the pro-gun community, the term “Fudd” denotes a
person who owns guns, typically not for self-defense, but considers
themselves above the fray of Second Amendment politics. But it is not
owning this or that type of gun that makes a person a Fudd. Rather,
it’s an attitude of indifference to the besieged plight of gun
owners generally. The name derives from Elmer Fudd, the classic Looney
Tunes/Merrie Melodies cartoon character who single-mindedly pursued
ducks and rabbits (Daffy and Bugs in particular) with his trusty
assortment of long arms, usually to his own detriment.

Lessons in the Value of Strong State Firearms Preemption Laws
<[link removed]>
Along with the sweeping success of the Right-to-Carry movement, strong
state firearms preemption laws have been among the most important
developments over the past half-century in the way average Americans
own and use firearms. To open a circa 1970 edition of ATF's State Laws
and Published Ordinances is to encounter an incomprehensible patchwork
of county and city regulations that made it impossible for otherwise
law-abiding gun owners to confidently exercise their right to keep and
bear arms.

Free NRA Hunter Ed Classes Raise $150,000 for State Wildlife Agencies
<[link removed]>
The NRA knows how to measure success. Nearly a year since announcing
the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) now allows states to use
the NRA’s free Online Hunter Education Course as Pittman-Robertson
(P-R) Act match dollars, the NRA is pleased to follow up that good
news with the fact the course has raised more than $150,000 for state
wildlife agencies through matching federal P-R grants to date. This is
an impressive and welcome update since the USFWS announced its new
policy 11 months ago, particularly as America works to do more with
less amid the coronavirus pandemic.
