Everywhere you look — from legislators in Des Moines to the White House in D.C. — politicians are banging the drums for gun control. The only force capable of stopping the destruction of our Second Amendment rights are grassroots gun rights activists. Over the last two weeks, IGO members and supporters responded in mass, making their voices heard by sending off waves of email to our Congressional leaders in D.C.
Late last week I signed a pointed letter to an acquaintance of our organization — Special Assistant to the President of the United States — who vowed to circulate it among Senior White House staff. The letter, which I’ve linked for you to read below, was signed by EIGHT other state-level Second Amendment organizations. The two key themes of the letter: 1. The government failed in Florida and more government will never stop a mad

After eight years of fighting with President Obama’s Administration to defend our gun rights, many gun owners assumed that 2017-2020 would be our chance to go on the offense in Washington
When Hillary Clinton lost her election over a year ago to President Donald Trump, you may have assumed that our gun rights were secure for the foreseeable future. Maybe you thought that we could finally pass some pro-gun bills in D.C. for a change. But that was before the Las Vegas and Texas shootings.

As you may have heard, recent polling shows that Ben Carson is currently in 2nd place here in Iowa if the caucuses were held today.

Christie, easily the most radically anti-gun candidate seeking the GOP nomination in the 2016 presidential cycle, is trying his best to hide, downplay, or flat out lie about his war on the Second Amendment. And he’s counting on gun owners in Iowa to accept his deceit – and give him the boost he needs to move onto the
