| NRA-ILA GRASSROOTS VOLUME 27, NUMBER 46 |
|
|
|
||
| Just in case anyone needed further proof that much of the federal bureaucracy is more interested in serving themselves and left-wing political interests than public service, news broke this week that rogue elements of Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (BATFE) have been conspiring with Joe Biden's transition team to enact gun control by executive fiat. At the top of these anti-gun government functionaries' wish list is executive regulation of commonly-owned pistol stabilizing braces and materials used by individuals to make their own firearms -sometimes referred to as unfinished or "80%" frames or receivers. |

| LR 130, a ballot measure to limit local government authority to regulate firearms, was supported by the NRA and approved by Montana's voters. Voters had to contend with a barrage of misinformation along with the typical outsized spending by Michael Bloomberg's Everytown for Gun Safety to defeat the measure. |

| Social science methods are not perfect, but that has never stopped anti-gun researchers from making outlandish claims. Most recently, a team of researchers led by Doctor Apurva Bhatt from the University of Missouri Kansas City sought to evaluate the effect of changes in Missouri firearms laws on suicides among teenagers and young adults. Their analysis is burdened by a fundamental disregard of applicable firearms laws and their findings are so suspect that even uninvolved anti-gun researchers have formally acknowledged the problems. |
