In the next few weeks, we expect the Supreme Court to decide on a key New York state gun law in NYSRPA v. Bruen. If the Court sides with the gun lobby\u2019s agenda, the future of critical gun safety laws could be at risk across the country.<\/p>\n
We MUST be ready to elect Gun Sense Candidates and turn out the vote in the midterms. Just this week, several Gun Sense Candidates (including former Moms Demand Action volunteers!) won elections up and down the ballot in their primaries.<\/p>\n
We need to get to work now if we\u2019re going to show up for Gun Sense Candidates and secure victory at the ballot box in the midterm elections. The future of our gun safety laws depends on it.<\/p>\n
Donate now to the Everytown for Gun Safety Victory Fund so we have the resources we need to support Gun Sense Candidates across the country before this year\u2019s crucial midterm elections.<\/p>\n

The likes of all the progressives that hate freedom are collectively grabbing at their chests telling Elizabeth that they\u2019re on their way in their best Fred Sanford impersonation. But what we\u2019re seeing in this email is just another disgusting manipulation of the facts. \u201cIf the Court sides with the gun lobby\u2019s agenda\u2026\u201d Really? \u201c\u2026the future of critical gun safety laws could be at risk across the country.\u201d I don\u2019t think they could get much more hyperbolic than that.<\/p>\n
The reality is the Court, should it rule to answer NYSRPA\u2019s prayer for relief, is not \u201csiding\u201d with any lobby. The Court would be siding with having to reiterate something that\u2019s plainly written in simple English in the Bill of Rights, and further expanded on in several Supreme Court Opinions; notably\u00a0Heller<\/i>,\u00a0McDonald<\/i>, and\u00a0Caetano<\/i>. The court has already surmised that at the time of founding \u201cbear\u201d meant to \u201cwear\u201d or \u201ccarry\u201d a firearm. As if they really should have needed to do so.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This all out sky is falling attitude towards a good and proper ruling will, yes, have big effects on the restoration of civil liberties, but in reality only really deeply affect a few states. Of the 9 \u201cmay issue\u201d states, some of them act as \u201cshall issue\u201d states, being MIINO (May issue in name only). The worst of the worst offenders are Hawaii, New Jersey, and Maryland; with \u201cno issue\u201d permitting. The runner ups being California and New York; with some jurisdictions not issuing permits. The remaining states; Delaware, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut aren\u2019t\u00a0that\u00a0<\/i>bad when it comes to getting a carry permit from what I understand and have been told.<\/p>\n
What Everytown\u2019s really upset about is that another case would be added to the list for the gun-grabbers to have to ignore and be used against them in litigation. We\u2019d be grossly obtuse to think that a victory for freedom in\u00a0NYSRPA\u00a0<\/i>would mean the end of the fight. In fact, it would be a new beginning of a potentially dirtier fight.<\/p>\n
We need to remember that the cloth Everytown is cut from is that of progressive big money. This is a sect of people that think they can do whatever they want based off what they have in their bank accounts. These are the same people who brought us Moms Demand Action. If I had a chance to have had a peek at, possibly\u2026If I may have looked at their \u201cplaybook\u201d, I imagine it\u2019d have things like this in it:<\/p>\n
It\u2019s not helpful to try to drown your audience in a flurry of facts and statistics. It is far more effective to zero in on a handful of simple facts that are both compelling and memorable.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Well they do a good job separating themselves from those facts and statistics when they\u2019ve got their hat in their hands begging for money. I imagine they have a great list of Do\u2019s and Don\u2019ts as well, focusing on other ways to lie to the public.<\/p>\n
It was just the other day that the lead Karen from Moms Demand tweeted out a misleading statement about Dr. Oz and his run for Pennsylvania Senator.<\/p>\n
