Justice Clarence Thomas puts it simply: the Constitution does not grant Americans the right to keep and bear arms; it recognizes that right and restricts government from infringing on it. The distinction matters. It shows rights belong to the people, not the government. 🇺🇸

Criminals are responsible for their crimes, not lawful firearm manufacturers and dealers. Yet efforts to hold the firearms industry liable for third-party criminal acts continue, threatening lawful businesses and the rights of millions of gun owners who depend on them.

San Jose was recently sued by @TheJusticeDept over its $1,600 concealed carry licensing fee, which can push the total cost of obtaining a permit above $2,000. The Second Amendment guarantees a right, not a privilege reserved for those who can afford the price of admission.

NRA-ILA welcomes DOJ’s renewed commitment to defending the Second Amendment under President Trump’s leadership. As @AAGDhillon noted, it's absurd for the government to use an exorbitant price tag to put constitutional rights out of reach. ➡️nraila.org/articles/20260923…

.@TheJusticeDept recently concluded the federal ban on licensed dealers selling handguns to law-abiding adults ages 18 to 20 violates the Second Amendment and cannot be criminally enforced. This marks a major shift on an issue NRA has litigated for years.

Under federal law, young adults are eligible to possess and acquire handguns, but FFLs are prohibited – under pain of felony penalties and adverse licensing actions – from selling or transferring handguns, as well as handgun ammo, to those aged 18 to 20. nraila.org/articles/20260923…

Fact check: Under @POTUS, crime rates are at record lows.
Trump has been a disaster on crime—from making it easier for dangerous people to get their hands on firearms to defunding law enforcement and cutting lifesaving grants our communities rely on. @Emma_S_Brown breaks down how Trump has made us all less safe 👇

🚨 BREAKING: NRA and @2AFDN filed an amicus brief urging SCOTUS to hear Beckwith v. Frey, challenging Maine's 72-hour waiting period for firearm purchases. Delaying the acquisition of firearms directly burdens law-abiding gun owners' Second Amendment rights.

Waiting periods are a historical anomaly. Our brief shows Americans could regularly acquire firearms immediately in the 18th and 19th centuries. The NRA will continue fighting unconstitutional waiting periods across the country. nraila.org/articles/20260924…
