The National Rifle Association is growing hopeful that after four years of fighting off anti-gun policies in Washington and several state capitals, having an ally in the White House will result in several pro-firearms policies. Doug Hamlin, the CEO and executive vice president of the nation’s biggest and oldest Second Amendment advocacy, said that the NRA is eager to work with President-elect Donald Trump on multiple fronts, including national-pro-gun initiatives and key law enforcement hires. “We’re super excited because we have a president who has the benefit of four years...

The Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals vindicated gun rights activists and delivered a win for the National Rifle Association’s (NRA) legal arm on Friday, labeling the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms’ (ATF) rule on stabilizing braces “arbitrary and capricious.” The NRA Institute for Legislative Action (ILA) supported the case titled Firearms Regulatory Accountability Coalition, Inc. v. Garland.

Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) has made the fact that he is a lifelong hunter, gun-owner, and veteran central to his political image, and he once even held a rare endorsement from the National Rifle Association. But Walz’s stance on gun control has shifted throughout his time in political office, with the Minnesota governor saying he now receives F’s from the NRA, and his stance on guns has shifted more in line with the mainstream Democratic Party. Shortly before Walz was tapped as Harris’s running mate, he touted his “straight Fs”...

The moment showed how Walz went about moderating his stance on guns — slowly at first, and then seemingly all at once. Two months later, after a gunman left 60 dead at a country music festival in Las Vegas, Walz pledged to donate his previous NRA contributions to a charity for families of fallen service members. And a mere four months after that, as the nation reeled again from a mass killing, this time at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., Walz “went full-bore on gun control,” Doar...

The viral camouflage hat sported by Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz shortly after he accepted the nomination has raised close to $1 million for the Harris campaign. A camouflage hat with orange embroidery spelling out "Harris/Walz" hit the official Harris campaign store after Walz was pictured wearing it Tuesday, selling out its initial inventory of 3,000 hats in a half hour and raising nearly $1 million for the campaign, according to a report in the Washington Post. Walz, who has long publicly touted his hunting ability, has made numerous public appearances...

Randy Kozuch, executive director of the NRA’s Institute for Legislative Action, commented on the Harris/Walz campaign camo hats by pointing out the hats “can’t camouflage” Harris and Walz’s “gun-grabbing” tendencies and plans. Teen Vogue noted that a camo hat — their own version of which the Harris/Walz campaign “quickly launched” after Walz was announced as VP candidate — “now has a meaning beyond what it ever did before.” Later in the article, Teen Vogue suggested, “Where the camo cap was a symbol of conservatism, particularly because of its association with...

Believe it or not, but Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) was once rated an “A” by the National Rifle Association (NRA) for his pro-Second Amendment stance before turning over to the dark side. During his second term as Minnesota governor, Walz served as a U.S. congressman from 2007 to 2019. He was applauded for his commitment to protecting law-abiding Americans' rights to own guns and opposed gun-control measures pushed by his Democratic colleagues. The NRA gave him an “A” rating for his 2A support and constant donations. Walz even earned himself...

Tim Walz, the recently announced running mate for Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris, is well-acquainted with guns, which is why he’s trying to control them. The governor of Minnesota has a long road ahead of him as he goes on the campaign trail during a time of high nation-wide disenchantment regarding politics. But Walz is not shying away from the challenge. Rather, he’s sticking to his guns, while vocally pushing back against his opponents, including, the National Rifle Association (NRA). It might seem a little out of the norm or...
