Laying the Anti-Gun Groundwork for 2021
<[link removed]>
Anti-gun activists are laying the groundwork now to blame gun owners
for any increase in violent crime this year. First came desperate
attempts to tie “gun violence” to COVID-19 when the pandemic
dominated the news cycle. Now, anti-gun academics are rushing to
produce research that can be used to blame gun owners for any
increases in crime in this unprecedented year.

Court Partially Blocks Enforcement of Virginia’s Unconstitutional
Private Sales Ban
<[link removed]>
On July 14, a judge in Lynchburg, VA, partially blocked enforcement of
the Commonwealth’s new ban on private firearm sales, ruling it
effectively prohibits law-abiding adults under age 21 from acquiring
handguns, in violation of Virginia’s constitutional right to keep
and bear arms. The decision came in the case of Elhert v. Settle.

Czech Government Endorses Human Right to Armed Self-Defense
Constitutional Amendment
<[link removed]>
The Czech Republic continues to be at the forefront of the battle for
gun rights in Europe. On July 13, the Czech government announced that
it endorsed a plan to enshrine the right of individuals to use a
firearm to defend themselves and others in the central European
nation’s constitution. The move comes three years after another
pro-gun constitutional amendment passed the Czech Chamber of Deputies
(the lower house of the Czech Parliament) but failed to receive final
approval.

European Lead Ammo Ban Update
<[link removed]>
European firearm owners are in the midst of a three fronted war on the
possession and use of lead ammunition. The battles are being fought
against a European-wide ban on metallic lead (ammunition), a
prohibition on the use of lead ammunition in terrestrial environments,
and a ban on both the use and possession of lead ammunition in
wetlands.
