The NRA Is Back

The NRA is back. That is the first thing I want to say to you as your association’s new executive vice president and CEO.

We have new leadership. We are resolute. We know our mission. We are all in this together. We are again holding our heads high as we positively stand up for our freedom in this critical election year.

There has never been a more important time for us to get back on our feet than right now. The American people want their freedom. No, they demand their freedom. And now the NRA has righted its course. We are now rallying our millions of members, and all freedom-loving Americans, to this patriotic cause. Now is the time to come together. Now is the time to be bold.

I didn’t seek this position; actually, I first declined to be considered for it. I didn’t hesitate because the challenge is too great, but because I first needed to know that the NRA Board, all of the donors who support us and more—I never doubted this association’s incredible membership—were ready to move boldly forward. They are.

So yes, this needs to be said loudly, and with the swagger of confidence, that we are back. And not just back, but we have incredible opportunities before us. We are right. We have a majority of voters with us nationally. There are millions of new gun owners. There are millions of former NRA members who need to come back. We are stronger together within this great association. We need to stand up together, fists clenched and jaws set, and to peacefully advocate for our freedom. We need to vote and to make sure all gun owners vote. If we do, we will retain our freedom.

As I travel around America, it is always made clear to me that NRA members, and indeed all freedom-loving Americans, are tired of being blamed for the actions of criminals and for the results of bad policies from woke politicians and district attorneys.

We’re tired of being called the bad guys. We know we are the good guys. The many millions of men and women who support law enforcement and law and order, those who shoulder the responsibility of their freedom, are the good citizens.

Most NRA members know me already, as I served as executive director of NRA Publications for the last 10 years. I also served six years on active duty, and six more years in the reserves, as an officer in the U.S. Marine Corps. After leaving active duty, I rose in the private sector by leading substantial business enterprises. During my time leading NRA Publications, I made many reforms, streamlined the division and grew the division with new properties for our members. My team brought in over $220 million to the NRA.

I am now bringing this open accountability to the top of the NRA.

My time serving our nation, and in the NRA, has given me tremendous insight into the history of our freedom and of the opportunities we have before us. There is no time to waste. The NRA has been silent for too long.

Like President Donald J. Trump, whom the NRA Political Victory Fund has proudly endorsed to once again lead this great nation, the NRA is ready for this fight. My favorite Winston Churchill quote is “I love a man who grins when he fights.” That is the NRA today. That is you and that is me. We’re grinning because we know we are right, and we know we can and must win.

These are only my first words to you. I will continue to openly communicate and to listen. My door is wide open. This is an association of members who know their freedom is precious. This association is only as strong as its membership. That is you and that is me. Let’s go save and retake our freedom together.

2024 NRA World Shooting Championship

If you weren’t at the NRA World Shooting Championship at Camp Atterbury, Ind., in April, you can be forgiven for not knowing the name Brian Shanholtz, who catapulted himself into the pantheon of competitive shooting greats after winning this year’s tournament. An electrician hailing from Keymar, Md., Shanholtz topped the match leaderboard for the first time this year with less than a one-point margin, winning the $25,000 grand prize. Even more impressive is the fact that his son, Cole—a first-time shooter at this match—won the High Junior title.

The Shanholtz father-son duo were among the 213 shooters that traveled to Indiana this year to compete at the NRA World Shooting Championship, presented by Walther Arms, which was held for the first time at Camp Atterbury, the home of the NRA National Matches. A 12-stage match that includes pistol, rifle, shotgun and multigun disciplines, the NRA World Shooting Championship has a unique twist—all firearms, ammunition, optics and equipment are supplied to competitors by the National Rifle Association and match sponsors. The 12 main stages are a mix of Sporting Clays, Air Rifle, NRA Precision Pistol, NRA Mid-Range, Precision Rifle Series, Three-Gun, Cowboy Action, Scholastic Action Shooting, USPSA and more. Additionally, there are seven side matches with their own prizes.

Although this year marked his first overall victory at the NRA World Shooting Championship, Shanholtz

is no stranger to the tournament. He has competed at every NRA World Shooting Championship since its inception in 2014, even winning the Amateur division in 2015 which, by virtue of the match rules, placed him permanently in the Professional division. He credits that initial victory to “many years spent competing in the NRA Youth Hunter Education Challenge.”

In preparation for this year’s tournament, Shanholtz trained with his son. The elder Shanholtz previously competed in the Precision Rifle Series and is also a shotgun-sports enthusiast, serving as a coach for his son’s junior trapshooting team. As the match results show, this approach worked for them both. “I’m here as a dad first and a competitor second,” Shanholtz told Shooting Sports

USA prior to being crowned the winner this year. “My main focus is making sure that Cole is okay, since this is his first time competing at the match.”

Finishing in second place this year was Nils Jonasson, while two-time NRA World Shooting Champion Greg Jordan was in third place. As for the High Lady title, it was earned by Lanny Barnes, who also landed in 28th place on the overall leaderboard.

More than $250,000 in cash and prizes was distributed at this year’s NRA World Shooting Championship. In addition to the $25,000 grand prize, the runner-up and High Lady received $2,000 checks, while third place and High Junior were presented with $1,000 checks.

NRA First Vice President Bob Barr (l.) and NRA Board Member Charlie Hiltunen III (r.) are congratulating top shooters Greg Jordan, Lanny Barnes, Nils Jonasson, Cole Shanholtz and Brian Shanholtz at the awards ceremony.

Plus, each of the 12 stages’ winners received $1,000 checks. Perhaps best of all, an enormous number of guns, optics, ammunition and more was awarded this year.

Besides the substantial prize purse, a key draw for competitors to this threeday tournament is the unique mix of disciplines, along with all guns, ammo and equipment provided to shooters.

“What I love about the NRA World Shooting Championship is you get to shoot firearms and different disciplines that you wouldn’t otherwise ever shoot,” High Lady Lanny Barnes said. “This is the only time I’ve shot Cowboy Action. It is a blast and all the guns and ammo are provided, so you just show up and shoot. If you want to see how wellrounded a shooter you are, come out and give this match a shot.”

“This event is so important and it is such a contrast to what we see in the political arena,” NRA First Vice President Bob Barr said. “You see people here that cooperate with each

other and recognize that even though everyone has the goal to win, we also recognize that it is a team effort. To be here and see the military working with civilians, young working with old, match staff working with volunteers and the industry working with NRA. Wouldn’t it be nice if we could see that kind of civility, discipline and team effort in

Washington? This tournament really is a model not just for marksmanship, the industry and the NRA, but for the whole country.”

Next year’s NRA World Shooting Championship will return to Camp Atterbury and is scheduled for Sept. 30 to Oct. 3, 2025. Learn more at wsc.nra.org

Congratulations to our 2023 NRA Club Award Winners

Each year the National Rifle Association recognizes outstanding clubs, state associations, youth clubs and an individual or organization for public service. The Annual Awards program recognizes significant accomplishments achieved in areas of organization, operation and public service rendered.

This past year's award winners were selected during the January 2024 NRA Board Meetings and were presented with their awards at the May 2024 NRA Board Meeting held in Dallas, TX on Monday, May 20.

The Outstanding Club Award is presented annually to an NRA-affiliated club with a highly distinguished record of service and organization. The club selected to receive this award must epitomize the ideals to which all NRA-affiliated clubs should strive.

Pictured Above: The recipient of the 2023 Outstanding Club Award was the Oklahoma City Gun Club of Arcadia, Oklahoma accepted by Club President, Ms. Suzi Rouse.

The Oklahoma City Gun Club is a volunteer organization with approximately 2,700 members and over 20 different shooting divisions covering a broad range of shooting disciplines. It is a

100% NRA affiliated club that prides itself on its long-standing relationship with the NRA.

The club hosts multiple local, state, regional, international and zone events that attract shooters from all over the country for the various competitions. In addition, the club facilitates contact with potentially under served communities to invite participation in training opportunities and events. Presented by NRA Certified Instructors, the Club’s Training Division offers a broad range of programs geared to all levels of experience. Their Women on Target Instructional Clinic is in it’s 24th year, and held the nation’s largest event for 2023 with 412 participants.

The Outstanding Youth Club Award is presented annually to an NRA-affiliated youth club that has demonstrated noteworthy achievement in training programs that teach firearm safety and handling, marksmanship, hunting skills to the community youth.

Pictured below: The recipient of the 2023 Outstanding Youth Club Award was Square1 Outdoors of Tupelo, Mississippi accepted by Ms. Kara Norman.

Square1 Outdoors is a non-profit organization that provides opportunities for youth to explore and learn how to safely participate in multiple shooting sports disciplines. These include archery, BB guns, air rifles and air pistols, rimfire pistols and rifles, and shotguns. All youth programs are free of charge to any youth.

Additionally, they hosted the first annual BB gun State competition in March 2023 and put together a state team that traveled to the Daisy National BB Competition. This was the only state level team within the state of Mississippi.

Square1 Outdoors was nominated not only for their efforts and impact as a youth organization, but for their involvement in assisting with the development of the Magnolia State Shooting Sports Alliance in 2023, NRA’s newest State Association in Mississippi.

The Outstanding State Association Award is presented in honor of a state association’s effectiveness in carrying out the purposes and objectives of the National Rifle Association in their state.

The recipient of the 2023 Outstanding State Association Award was the Kansas State Rifle Association. Kansas State Rifle Association has continued standing in the gap as THE effective force for the Second Amendment in Kansas. They promote hunter safety, firearm safety and competence training, advanced marksmanship, competitive shooting opportunities, and junior and women’s shooting programs. KSRA also sanctions State Championships and sponsors state teams that represent Kansas in national matches.

In the past year, the Kansas State Rifle Association has stepped up to help other State Associations, promoted outside of the box thinking with a successful KSRA License Plate program, all while having unwavering support of the NRA.

Granbury Places First and Second in the Civilian Marksmanship Program’s Regional Championships

The Granbury Rifle Team recently participated in the national postal air rifle match sponsored by the Civilian Marksmanship Program. The match occurred from October 2023 to January 2024 and included all junior three-position air rifle clubs, such as the American Legion, 4-H, Junior Rifle Clubs, and JROTC units. The results of this match gave teams a national ranking, and the top competitors qualified for and attended the Regional Championships held in Anniston, Alabama; Camp Perry, Ohio; and Layton, Utah, this past weekend.

At the Regional Championships held in Anniston, Alabama, from April 11-13, the Granbury Marine Corps JROTC team members participated in the 3×20 air rifle event. This event required competitors to fire 20 record shots from three positions (prone, standing, and kneeling) over the two-day contest. Granbury Team One placed 1st, and Granbury Team Two placed 2nd among all precision teams at the match. Both teams qualified to compete at Nationals in Camp Perry, Ohio, in July. Moreover, Kameron Wells, Kennedy Wells, Viola Allen, and Cadince McGrath led the Granbury squad and made it to the finals (top 8 shooters). After an exciting finals round, Kameron Wells

received the silver medal, Allen the bronze, Wells Kennedy 5th, and McGrath 7th place. In the U15 age category, Emma Wipff won the gold medal, and Ethan Erwin won the silver. LtCol Casey expressed his pride in the team's accomplishments, saying, "It’s always rewarding winning after you’ve put in the hard work. This team can perform at a high level, as evidenced by their impressive 1st and 2nd place finishes at the Regionals."

Titans on the Range

The Wilbraham & Monson Academy Varsity Rifle Club, nicknamed the Titans, has had a smallbore rifle program for over 80 years. The co-ed private high school is located in Wilbraham, Massachusetts, and the team shoots out of Sherman Cowdrey Range, located in the basement of a building on campus.

Though the team's history is long and steeped in tradition, winning has been few and far between…. until recently. Head Coach Bill Passy took over the program in 2017 and the success the team has achieved since then is unmatched in WMA history, in any sport.

The Titans finished their 2024 season by winning the Connecticut High School Rifle League championship for the 5th straight year and 7th out of 8 seasons under Passy. The league shoots 4 position matches (prone, sitting, kneeling, standing) in a 4 x 5 format on A-17 targets. During this stretch, the Titans have not lost a regular season league match, going an amazing 50-0 in that span. The team’s only league loss came when they finished as runnersup in the 2019 championship match.

During Coach Passy’s tenure, the team has also won 8 straight Connecticut Prep School Gallery Match championships, as well as having 41 students named to the Connecticut State Rifle and Revolver Association High School All-State team, including 29 first-team selections.

Pictured is 2024 team captains Vivi Venkat and Marisa Cyboron. Cyboron will be attending Purdue University and shooting on their club rifle team.

The program’s best shooter during this time was 2018 graduate, Dan Wesson of Monson, Massachusetts. Wesson went on to shoot at Division I Wofford College where he was a multiple time All Southern Conference selection and the conference Air Rifle Champion in 2020. “Dan brought great passion and leadership to our program and still stops by today to talk with kids about shooting”, Passy says.

“The support our program has received from our school administration, parents, alumni and the NRA, has been fantastic”, Passy said. “It can be challenging at times to keep our equipment up to date and functional, along with meeting the needs of our shooters. The shooting community has been great.”

The NRA has been a valuable asset to the program as it has earned several awards from the Friends of the NRA Grant program. The team also shoots yearly in the NRA Connecticut Sectional tournaments (both 3P and 4P) with a Gold Medal win in the 2023 Scholastic Team SectionalIndoor Conventional Position Smallbore Rifle match.

The Titans of Wilbraham & Monson Academy are definitely ‘at home on the range’.

Eddie Eagle Soars Into Fairfax County Public Libraries

Submitted by Kelly Farmer, Program Lead, Community Outreach

As a community, it is our responsibility to ensure the safety and well-being of our children. Fairfax County Public Libraries have started a commendable initiative by offering the Eddie Eagle Gunsafe Program materials in all 22 public libraries. The NRA provides these materials free of charge to libraries, hospitals, schools, law enforcement and other non-profit organizations thanks to the fundraising efforts of the Friends of NRA and NRA Foundation State Fund Grants.

The Eddie Eagle Gunsafe Program provides an excellent opportunity to teach kids about gun safety in a fun and engaging way. At the end of 2023, there were almost 147,000 children aged 9 years and younger in Fairfax County. By offering this program in public libraries, Fairfax County is ensuring that all families, regardless of their socioeconomic status, have access to this important information. Public libraries are community hubs that provide free resources and educational opportunities to everyone. By including the Eddie Eagle Gunsafe Program in their offerings, they are furthering their mission to promote safety and education.

Aside from the safety aspect, the Eddie Eagle Gunsafe Program also encourages open conversations between parents and children about firearms. It serves as a starting point for discussions on responsible gun ownership and the importance of keeping firearms securely stored away from children. By promoting these conversations, we can foster a culture of responsible gun ownership within our community.

Moreover, the Eddie Eagle Gunsafe Program also emphasizes the importance of seeking adult help when encountering a firearm. This message is crucial as it reinforces the idea that children should never attempt to handle a firearm on their own. By empowering children to seek help from a trusted grown-up, we are further mitigating the risks associated with accidental firearm incidents.

By providing free access to this educational resource, Fairfax County is taking a proactive approach to gun safety for children. By teaching kids the four simple steps “Stop! Don’t Touch! Run Away! Tell A Grown-Up!” and encouraging open conversations, we can work towards creating a safer community for everyone. Together we can empower our children to make responsible decisions when it comes to gun safety.

Eddie Eagle Spreads His Wings

Reprinted with persmission by A1F STAFF

Eddie Eagle is spreading his wings, relaying his lifesaving message to more children through more appearances.

NRA began the Eddie Eagle GunSafe Program in 1988 to teach children what to do if they find a firearm: Stop! Don’t touch! Run away! Tell a grown-up!

Note that neither Eddie nor any members of his Wing Team are ever shown touching a firearm, and there is no promotion of firearm ownership or use. The NRA does not make any sort of profit off the program, nor does it intend to. The goal of the program is to help prevent accidents. The Eddie Eagle materials for adults explain in detail how to safely store firearms and how to teach kids to stay safe—get them at materials.nrahq.org.

Eddie’s fun and free video, available at eddieeagle.nra.org, makes it easy to understand and remember his safety advice with a catchy song and a scenario in which Eddie and his friends—the WingTeam—encounter just such a situation and help each other (with the help of trusted grown-ups) learn how to stay safe. The Eddie Eagle Tree House website at eddieeagle.com lets children explore these safety concepts more fully, but in a fun way, with lessons, coloring pages, storybooks, etc.

Kids love meeting Eddie Eagle in person, as we saw from thousands of smiling little faces at the Great American Outdoor Show in Harrisburg, Pa., earlier this year. But don’t worry if you missed him there. You can also catch Eddie at this year’s NRA Annual Meetings (nraam.org) at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center in Dallas, Texas, May 16-19. Be sure to drop by the booth for Eddie Eagle materials and fun goodies!

Another important way Eddie spreads his message is through the mascot costume. These costumes were previously only available for law-enforcement agencies to purchase, but are now available to fire departments, emergency medical services and school administrators as well. Eligible organizations can purchase the costumes outright or may qualify for a grant through the NRA Foundation State Fund. See the Program Resources tab at eddieeagle.nra.org for more information.

NRA Clubs the First Step to the Olympics

Many past and present Olympians got their start in clubs like yours. The first Gold Medal awarded in Rio was achieved by a young American female rifle shooter who started her shooting career at an Izzak Walton League gun club under the mentorship of an NRA rifle coach. Not all athletes will go to the Olympics but there are so many other opportunities such as getting scholarships to colleges and universities and it’s their coaches that help them achieve those goals by sharing their knowledge and passion for the sport.

Shooting sports is one of the fastest growing High School and College sports. This means that there is a growing need for coaches in the various disciplines, especially shotgun. If you don’t already have a youth program at your club, consider starting one. There is nothing more rewarding than seeing the youth you have mentored achieve their goals. We are here to help you on your journey to having a successful program.

If you are not already an NRA Coach, consider adding to your knowledge by attending one of the NRA’s Coach Schools, where you learn everything from good fundamentals to advanced techniques and mental training. To find Coach School go to: www.nrainstructors.org and click on find a course near you. For additional information or to host a Coach School, email coaching@nrahq.org. or call (703) 267-1589 .

Please join us in wishing our USA Olympic and Paralympic team much success in Paris!

My children love the outdoors, hunting, fishing, archery and such. On one archery trip, we discovered a new branch of archery, S3DA. I was really excited to hear about the program. So I ask what is s3Da.

.Starting in only 3 states at their 1st National Tournament, S3DA is now active in 30+ states and growing tremendously. S3DA is growing so rapidly for many different reasons. One reason is that S3DA is entirely an after-school initiative that can be run through not only schools, but archery shops, churches, fire stations, wildlife departments, ASA clubs, NFAA clubs, JOAD clubs, etc.

Youth are attracted to S3DA because they are free to use any equipment of their choice, from any brand or company, only restricting speed limits based on their age and shooting division. Along with youth being able to choose their own equipment, they are also able to progress through the sport as they grow and develop. Each S3DA class provides a natural progression that helps youth grow from elementary school through high school and it allows them to move straight into shooting at the collegiate level, where they are earning scholarships to shoot archery.

Not only are youth attracted to S3DA, but families are as well. All of the S3DA events are family-oriented and family friendly! For all of those reasons and more, S3DA has become one of the fastest growing archery programs for our youth in the nation!

This was great! Only one problem. We live in Va and there were no teams in VA, and the next closest team was in Statesville NC. This was a 3-hour drive, but I wanted to give my boys a new opportunity, so we signed up. We loved it! Meeting lots of people who loved archery and the outdoors was amazing. In the meantime, I was researching what was needed to start up a team in Va.

It would involve a lot of hard work and dedication. I got my certification for an S3DA coach, paid for our team membership and hoped for the best. We became the Whosoever's! (as in John 3:16). We are the only team in Va. Now the next step was to get a Va state coordinator. I applied and got accepted into that role as well. Knowing I had the go-ahead to get things going, I still need to get the word out and help recruit other teams. I knew I needed alot of support from companies and funds to get things going. Thats when I had an opportunity to speak to David Halbrook. He informed me that we could sign up for NRA day! This was awesome! Not only could we introduce the S3DA team, but I could also spread the word about NRA. This

was my first sponsor! We felt so proud to put the NRA on our flyers! We received all the goodies, shirts, pins, hats, and materials for the kids! Let me just say, they loved the goodies from the NRA! One child even came to me and said" I love my team shirt!(NRA shirt) It feels so good to be on a team!" This has been such a wonderful experience for not only the kids, but adults as well! In the mean time, I also have acquired my hunters education instructor certification and plan to get a 4H team together to take to Appomattox va for the HEC competition. My goal now is to get NRA certified in pistol, 22, and shotgun and teach these skills and courses to my team. We will be able to provide important teachings to them and let them acquire other skills and learn about gun safety as well!

Thank you NRA for not only being our first sponsor but for continuing to support us and opening opportunities for all our youth!

The

NRA Foundation is America’s Leading Supporter of Youth Shooting Programs!

Reprinted with permission from Amanda McLennan Friends

of NRA

In 2023 alone, The NRA Foundation funded over 2,100 grants for youth programs across the nation, totaling almost $8 million!

Friends of NRA is the blockbuster fundraising program under The NRA Foundation. Established in 1992, Friends of NRA is a 100% grassroots effort dedicated to securing the Second Amendment and raising money for the shooting sports. Each year, volunteers across the country raise charitable dollars (and generous donors make gifts) that are then awarded as grants in support of educational and public service programs relating to the shooting sports in our communities.

Since The NRA Foundation is invested in the next generation of America’s leaders, a significant majority of grants support youth shooting sports programs. In 2023 alone, The NRA Foundation funded over 2,100 grants for youth programs across the nation, totaling almost $8 million! These programs included 4-H, JROTC, Scouts, school/college clubs and teams, and a wide variety of other youth shooting programs. From air rifle, to smallbore rifle and trap/skeet/clay programs, these grants help youth learn safe, responsible firearm handling.

As America’s leading charitable organization in support of the shooting sports, we are dedicated to serving the needs of freedomloving Americans, preserving the core of our American values and traditions, and Teaching Freedom across this great nation.

2023 grants for youth programs funded:

• Over 7 million shotgun shells

• 5.7 million rounds of rimfire ammo

• More than 400 shotguns

• More than 500 rimfire firearms

• $700k+ in Archery supplies

• 187 Trauma Kits

• 120,000+ pairs of foam earplugs

• Over 1,000 pairs of ear muffs

• Over 12,000 pairs of safety glasses

• 90 gun safes

• 180+ assorted reactive targets

• 500+ Shooting mats and kneeling rolls

Our grants helped major organizations, including 4-H, Boy Scouts of America, JROTC and ROTC, Scholastic Clay Target Program, Future Farmers of America, NASP and S3DA archery groups, and hundreds of competitive youth shooting teams! The grants benefitted nearly 500,000 youth across the country, concluding that The NRA Foundation is THE leading charity working to sustain and grow youth shooting sports.

The Piedmont Council Boy Scouts of America, based in Gastonia, NC had much to say about the grant they received in 2023. "Without the NRA Foundation grant, our program this year would have been significantly scaled back. The impact of the grant goes beyond numbers. It positively affected the lives of our youth because we were able to run a successful shooting sports program! These young men and women learn responsibility as they worked to improve good sportsmanship, self-discipline, logic, and concentration. They gained confidence and were trained in safe habits and attitudes which will last a lifetime.”

You can continue the impact on youth shooting sports programs by attending a Friends of NRA event near you. www.friendsofnra.org/events/

NRA Secures Landmark Legal Victory; Supreme Court Unanimously Rules for NRA in First Amendment Case Against Former New York Regulator

Reprinted with permission from NRA-ILA

Original Publication - THURSDAY, MAY 30, 2024

The National Rifle Association of America (NRA) scored a historic legal victory today in one of the most closely followed First Amendment cases in the nation.

In a stinging rebuke of New York’s “blacklisting campaign” against the NRA, the Supreme Court unanimously ruled for the NRA in its case against former New York State Department of Financial Services Superintendent Maria T. Vullo. The decision remands the NRA’s case to the lower court – reviving the NRA’s claims that Vullo, at the behest of former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, violated the NRA’s First Amendment rights when she urged banks and insurers to cut ties with the NRA in 2018.

“This victory is a win for the NRA in the fight to protect freedom,” says NRA President Bob Barr. “This is a historic moment for the NRA in its stand against governmental overreach. Let this be clear: the voice of the NRA membership is as loud and influential as ever. Regulators are now on notice: this is a win for not only the NRA, but every organization who might otherwise suffer from an abuse of government power.”

The case was argued before the U.S. Supreme Court on March 18, 2024. The case is one of the most high-profile First Amendment cases in recent memory, with dozens of legal experts and constitutional scholars, including the ACLU, siding with the NRA.

“This is a moment of truth,” says NRA EVP & CEO Doug Hamlin. “The decision underscores the importance of this principled fight. When it comes to defending our members and their freedoms, the NRA will never back down.”

The opinion of the court, written by Justice Sonia Sotomayor, states, “Six decades ago, this Court held that a government entity’s ‘threat of invoking legal sanctions and other means of coercion’ against a

third party ‘to achieve the suppression’ of disfavored speech violates the First Amendment… Today, the Court reaffirms what it said then: Government officials cannot attempt to coerce private parties in order to punish or suppress views that the government disfavors. Petitioner National Rifle Association (NRA) plausibly alleges that respondent Maria Vullo did just that.”

“This is a landmark victory for the NRA and all who care about our First Amendment freedom,” says William A. Brewer III, counsel to the NRA. “The opinion confirms what the NRA has known all along: New York government officials abused the power of their office to silence a political enemy. This is a victory for the NRA’s millions of members and the freedoms that define America.”

In the opinion, Justice Sotomayor writes that Vullo was “free to criticize the NRA” but “could not wield her power, however, to threaten enforcement actions against DFS-regulated entities in order to punish or suppress the NRA’s gun-promotion advocacy.”

Justice Sotomayor continues, “One can reasonably infer from the complaint that Vullo coerced DFSregulated entities to cut their ties with the NRA in order to stifle the NRA’s gun-promotion advocacy and advance her views on gun control.”

The History of the Case

In a May 2018 lawsuit, the NRA alleged that Vullo, at the urging of Governor Cuomo, took aim at the NRA and conspired to use DFS’ regulatory power to “financially blacklist” the NRA – coercing banks and insurers to cut ties with the Association to suppress its pro-Second Amendment speech. The NRA argues that Vullo’s actions were meant to silence the NRA – using “guidance letters,” backroom threats, and other measures to cause financial institutions to “drop” the Association.

The NRA's First Amendment claims withstood multiple motions to dismiss. But in 2022, after Vullo appealed the trial court’s ruling, the Second Circuit struck down the NRA’s claims. The court ruled that in an era of “enhanced corporate social responsibility,” it was reasonable for New York's financial regulator to warn banks and insurance companies against servicing pro-gun groups based on the supposed “social backlash” against those groups’ advocacy. The court also ruled that Vullo’s guidance – written on her official letterhead and invoking her regulatory powers – was not a directive to the institutions she regulated, but rather a mere expression of her political preferences.

On February 7, 2023, the NRA petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court, seeking review of the Second Circuit decision. On November 3, 2023, the Court granted review of the case.

Twenty-two amicus briefs representing more than 190 individuals and organizations were filed in support of the NRA’s position, including a filing by several of the nation’s foremost First Amendment scholars. The amicus briefs also included a joint filing by dozens of congressional Republicans and filings by 25 state attorneys general. The support came from across the political spectrum.

On Monday, March 18, 2024, the Court heard oral arguments in the case. ACLU National Legal Director and NRA counsel David Cole argued that Vullo and other New York officials abused their authority in violation of the First Amendment, telling the justices: “There's no question on this record that they encouraged people to punish the NRA.” Cole said, “It was a campaign by the state’s highest political officials to use their power to coerce a boycott of a political advocacy organization because they disagreed with its advocacy.”

Eugene Volokh joined Brewer and the ACLU in representing the NRA, along with Brewer partners Sarah B. Rogers and Noah Peters.

NRA Announces New Range Development and Operations Online Course

The National Rifle Association of America is pleased to announce the release of its most recent update to the NRA Range Development and Operations Online Course. The course is comprised of 12 lessons, including a new module with an overview of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) as it pertains to shooting ranges.

“ADA is an important, often overlooked, topic for range owners to be aware of,” said Joe Logar, National Manager of NRA Adaptive Shooting Programs. “The overview in the updated Range Development and Operations Online Course provides enough information to be valuable for clubs and ranges, without being overwhelming.”

This online course is designed to educate potential and current range owners and operators in identifying potential problems associated with range development, environmental issues, and safety. Students will receive a multidisciplinary perspective on major topics such as:

• Indoor Range Construction

• Outdoor Range Construction

• Environmental Management

• Sound Abatement

• Community Relations

• ADA Compliance

• Ventilation

• Funding/Grants

"NRA Range Services is pleased to offer this up-to-date online learning opportunity for new and potential range owners,” said Liz Bush, Managing Director of NRA Community Engagement. "This revised online course expands NRA’s educational offerings while giving range facilitators the tools they need to maintain the highest level of safety possible."

Registration for the online course is $300, which includes downloads of all course materials and a copy of the NRA Range Source Book on USB. Visit https://onlinetraining.nra.org/onlinecourses/nra-range-development-and-operations-course/ to get started today!
