U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Seeking Comments From Businesses Regarding the Import and Export of Wildlife Specimens – On November 1, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) issued a notice in the federal register requesting comments regarding Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests from the Humane Society for information on imports and exports of wildlife specimens. The notice has caused significant concern amongst hunters who are justifiably worried that their personal information could be made public.

| Next week, Montana voters will decide the future of trapping in Montana. With complete disregard for scientifically-sound conservation methods, animal rights extremists are proposing that wildlife management decisions be left up to the voters through “ballot box” biology. |

| This week, UK authorities effectively admitted that the “gold standard” of gun control is not enough to protect the country from extremists that are intent on using illegally obtained firearms to commit terrorist violence. Warning that terrorists could bypass the country’s strict laws, the UK’s National Crime Agency and National Counter Terrorism Policing have issued a desperate appeal to the public for any information that could prevent terrorists and other criminals from acquiring firearms. |

| Time after time, the mainstream media has tried to write off Donald Trump and his supporters. And the same media that openly back Hillary Clinton want you to believe it’s not a question of whether she will win, but by how much. |

| As his adopted hometown of Chicago achieved another grim milestone for murders occurring in 2016, President Obama was busy adding to a record of his own: felony offenders granted early release from prison under executive clemency. According to the Washington Post, Obama commuted the sentences of 98 inmates last Thursday, bringing his overall tally during his time in office to 872. This, the Post reported, is more than the combined number of his 11 predecessors in the White House. |

| Continuing a trend that has held for over 17 months, the number of firearm-related checks initiated through the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) in October 2016 breaks the record for that month as the highest for any October since the NICS was instituted in 1998. The latest data released by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) on the number of firearm-related checks initiated through NICS for October shows a significant increase over the previous October (2,333,539 vs. 1,976,759) and exceeds the monthly totals for each of the last six months. Moreover, every state (and the District of Columbia), with the exception of Louisiana, saw an uptick in October over the previous month. |

| NRA members come from all walks of life. That’s because NRA’s sole focus of protecting the rights of gun owners and hunters unites people across political party, background, education level, and economic status. Of note, NRA has strong support among union members. Unfortunately, this support frustrates some politicians and political strategists who would rather that union members disregard their Second Amendment rights while in the voting booth. |

| As the country races to the finish line marked by the November 8 election day, media pundits, pollsters and operatives for both the Democratic and Republican parties appear to have overlooked a secret weapon about to be unleashed. That weapon, which will appear at the polls, is the army of enthusiastic gun owners found everywhere, but particularly in the swing states. |

| Gun control advocates would have you believe that, if only there were background check requirements for all gun sales and transfers and if only the so-called “private sale loophole” was repealed, criminals would no longer be able to obtain guns online or at gun shows without a background check. Then, they’d have you believe, we’d see an end to the proliferation of guns and “gun violence.” Backers of the Bloomberg-funded background check initiative in Nevada, for example, argue that the initiative law is necessary because “criminals must be prevented from acquiring guns in simple ‘no questions asked’ transactions.” |
