  • Official Media Guide March 23 – April 1, 2012 Tucson Trap & Skeet Club 7800 W
    12 US 20 A I S P SF U WORLD C OFFICIAl Media Guide March 23 – april 1, 2012 Tucson Trap & Skeet club 7800 W. Old ajo highway visitTucson.org 2012worldcup.tucsontrapandskeet.com (520) 883-6426 | toll free (888) 530-5335 COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. USA Shooting is pleased to introduce the official 2012 Media Guide for the Tucson World Cup. Since participation in the first Olympic Games in 1896, American shooters have won over 100 medals. Though the events have changed over the years, the spirit of the Games remains. The title of the media guide is “Creating Legends on the Road to London” because American shooters have been so successful in the past and the future is equally lustrous. While there are many opportunities to shoot competitively in the United States, USA Shooting offers world-class athletes the opportunity to achieve Olympic and Paralympic dreams. “To me, the concept of wearing the USA on my back in the Paralympic Games in 2012 means that I have found my way through the fear factor. I have found a new sense of self and I have not only leveled the playing field from Special Operations soldier to Paralympic athlete . I have eclipsed all previous expectations of who I wanted to be and created a new pinnacle that exceeded all previous achievements and I did it without the use of my legs,” said 2012 U.S. Paralympic Team nominee Eric Hollen. Hollen is not only a top-notch individual, but also a very talented and hard-working shooter. Holllen was awarded USA Shooting’s 2010 and 2011 Paralympic Athlete of the Year distinction, and most notably, he was recently nominated to the 2012 U.S.

  • ATF Withdraws Pistol Brace “Guidance”
    January 2021 ATF Withdraws Pistol Brace “Guidance” On December 23rd, ATF posted a document to its website indicating that its recently published Objective Factors for Classifying Weapons with “Stabilizing Braces” is withdrawn. The withdraw notice indicates that “[u]pon further consultation with the Department of Justice and the Office of the Deputy Attorney General, ATF is withdrawing, pending further Department of Justice review, the notice and request for comments entitled ‘Objective Factors for Classifying Weapons with ‘Stabilizing Braces’,’ that was published on December 18, 2020.” The withdraw notice came only hours after Rep. Richard Hudson (NC-08) and 89 other Congressional Representatives sent a letter to ATF asking the agency to “immediately take action to correct this injustice.” As we reported, the “guidance” did nothing to fix ATF’s history of confusing and conflicting determinations on pistol braces. We would like to thank the NRA members, gun owners, and members of Congress who stood up for the Second Amendment rights of all Americans. And, special thanks to Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Congressman Hudson for taking the lead in pushing ATF to rethink its arbitrary and unhelpful “guidance.” Congress is taking notice of the ATF "guidance" about AR pistols with braces. Thanks to Wisconsin CD-7 Rep. Tom Tiffany who spoke to me about this issue personally and directed his staff to assist. Also signed was CD-6 Rep. Glen Grothman. You can let your Congressman know about your opposition to the ATF's proposed changes by clicking the link, and filling out the form here https://act.nraila.org/actions/campaigns/10293 Santa put coal in the ATF bureaucrats' stockings, and we can have stabilizing braces on our AR pistols this Christmas! I also got a call from WI CD7 Congressman Tom Tiffany's office who delivered the news.

ORDER GRANTING 12 XAVIER BECERRA, in his official PLAINTIFFS’ MOTION FOR capacity as Attorney General of the State PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION 13 of California, 14 Defendant. 15 16 The experiment has been tried. The casualties have been counted. 17 California’s new ammunition background check law misfires and the Second 18 19 Amendment rights of California citizens have been gravely injured. In this action, 20 Plaintiffs seek a preliminary injunction enjoining California’s onerous and 21 22 convoluted new laws requiring ammunition purchase background checks and 23 implementing ammunition anti-importation laws. For the reasons that follow, the 24 motion for preliminary injunction is granted. 25 26 1 27 28 Case 3:18-cv-00802-BEN-JLB Document 60 Filed 04/23/20 PageID.2192 Page 2 of 120 1 The purported state interest to be achieved by these new laws is keeping 2 ammunition out of the hands of prohibited Californians.
