Quote of the Day
The NRA has secured a statewide injunction blocking Abigail Spanberger’s ban on semi-automatic firearms and standard-capacity magazines. The Virginia court has made it unmistakably clear: this blatant violation of constitutional rights cannot be enforced by any law enforcement agency in the Commonwealth.

The NRA and our world-class legal team will continue fighting in court until this unconstitutional measure is permanently removed from the books.
