Legislative and Regulatory Update Sources

Your resources to stay politically informed

It's important, particularly this fall, to stay politically informed. Legislative Director Paul gives members a list of sources to keep yourself up to date on legislative and regulatory activity:.

 National Rifle Association Institute for Legislative Action News.

Established in 1975, the Institute for Legislative Action (ILA) is the lobbying arm of the National Rifle Association of America. ILA is responsible for preserving the right of all law-abiding individuals in the legislative, political, and legal arenas, to purchase, possess and use firearms for legitimate purposes as guaranteed by the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. ILA stands on a simple bottom line when it comes to elections: When provided with the facts, the nation’s elected officials usually recognize that "gun control" schemes are an infringement on the Second Amendment and a proven failure in fighting crime. The importance of this premise lies in the knowledge that, as one U.S. Congressman put it: "The gun lobby is people."

In addition to current Second Amendment related news, members can also find local political activists, check your voter registration status, or volunteer to get involved.

In addition to tracking federal legislation, NSSF also watches for state-level gun-related ation, as well.

 Kansas State Rifle Association News Center

The Kansas State Rifle Association has led the charge to defend the Second Amendment and halt the radical gun confiscation agenda in Kansas for decades. KSRA's legislative team works around the clock to hold politicians accountable for anti-gun positions and votes, defending the Second Amendment position from before the Legislature gavels in each year to far after each session adjourns. Since 1928, the KSRA has been a force for responsible gun ownership and the shooting sports.
