| NRA-ILA GRASSROOTS VOLUME 27, NUMBER 43 |
|
|
|
||
| Throughout the two presidential debates and single vice-presidential debate the moderators did not ask a single question about gun control or the right to keep and bear arms. The dearth of coverage on Second Amendment issues at the debates follows a larger trend. Anti-gun lawmakers up and down the ballot, and even anti-gun organizations, have made the calculated decision to avoid gun control messaging in a year wracked by uncertainty. |
|
||
| The gun-ban proponents at Everytown, New York Billionaire Michael Bloomberg?s personal anti-gun advocacy apparatus, have finally begun talking about guns in their political ads. In August and September, we pointed out that Everytown seemed rather focused in its political messaging on things like health care, pharmaceuticals, and school funding. An odd collection of topics for an organization that claims as its primary sales pitch that it ?(has) a plan to end gun violence.? |
|
||
| Earlier this year, in a ruling of first impression in Washington State, the Kitsap County District Court decided that the state?s compulsory ?firearm surrender? laws violated the Fourth and Fifth Amendments and the analogous provisions in the state constitution. ?In our constitutional system of government, individuals have rights that the government and its agents (including courts) must respect. Among those rights are the right to be free from compelled self-incrimination under the Fifth Amendment, the right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures under the Fourth Amendment, and their counterparts under Washington?s constitution.? |
