Support NRA-ILA
FAIRFAX, Va. - The National Rifle Association Institute for Legislative Action (NRA-ILA) today applauded the final passage of House Bill 1927, NRA-backed legislation that allows law-abiding Texans to carry a handgun for personal protection without paying a tax or obtaining a license from the state. A right requiring you to pay a tax or obtain a government permission slip is not a right at all, that’s why the NRA is proud to have worked closely with state leaders and legislators to pass the most significant pro-Second Amendment measure in Texas history, said NRA-ILA Executive Director Jason Ouimet. Our members worked tirelessly to provide the crucial grassroots support to make constitutional carry a reality and restore the rights of law-abiding Texans.
The New Gun Control Tactic: Call Semi-Automatic Rifles ‘Assault Weapons’
Using the terms “assault weapons” and “weapons of war” is meant to evoke something that so many only know from movies and video games.
Supporters of gun control, as well as many liberal politicians, have called for a ban of so-called “assault weapons,” which in turn convinced Americans of the need to limit access to these firearms. The very name of the guns certainly sounds ominous enough, and may convince many to ask the question “why does anyone need a weapon of war?”
That is how these groups plan to win over the public. Consider it a marketing campaign like no other. In this case, it is directed by various groups that have continued to spread misleading “facts” about these firearms.
