NSSF Supports Rep. Bishop\u2019s \u2018Lawful Purpose and Self Defense Act,\u2019 H.R. 2710<\/em><\/p>\n

Lack of a clear definition of what \u201csporting purposes\u201d and \u201csporting use\u201d mean has allowed, for example, the Obama Administration to try to circumvent Congress and attempt to ban a popular type of ammunition for modern sporting rifles.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

NEWTOWN, Conn \u2013<\/strong>-(Ammoland.com<\/a>)-\u00a0The National Shooting Sports Foundation ( NSSF), trade association for the firearms and ammunition industry, applauds the introduction yesterday of H.R. 2710, the Lawful Purpose and Self Defense Act of 2015, by Congressman Rob Bishop (R-UT), chairman of the House Committee on Natural Resources.<\/p>\n

The bill would revise the Gun Control Act of 1968, as amended, to replace the \u201csporting purposes\u201d<\/em> and \u201csporting use<\/em>\u201d sections with modernizing language used to better define whether firearms and ammunition can be lawfully imported, possessed and transferred. NSSF considers the \u201csporting purpose\u201d<\/em> and \u201csporting use\u201d<\/em> provisions to be outdated and a hindrance to bringing lawful products to market. The 2008 Supreme Court\u2019s decision in District of Columbia v. Heller<\/em> noted that the core purpose of the Second Amendment is self-defense, and the language of H.R. 2710 will more accurately reflect this core meaning of the right to bear arms.<\/p>\n

NSSF urges you to contact your U.S. Representative<\/strong><\/a> to urge him or her to co-sponsor and support H.R. 2710.<\/p>\n

Stay Alert. Stay Informed, Stay Armed and Stay Dangerous!
