NEW NSSF SAFETY PSA … Through its $2.4 million federal grant, NSSF has developed new video and radio public services announcements on the importance of securely storing firearms when not in use. “Safety is a Habit” is the theme, complementing the Project ChildSafe Communities program messages. NSSF encourages you to help promote gun safety by making use of the PSAs.
INTERIOR SECRETARY VOTE THIS WEEK … The nomination of U.S. Rep. Ryan Zinke (R-Mont.) to become Secretary of the Interior is expected to receive a full Senate vote this week. An avid sportsman and former Navy SEAL, Zinke is uniquely qualified to fill the post that oversees access to federal lands. Contact your senators to confirm Ryan Zinke as Secretary of the Interior by email or phone through the Capitol Switchboard at 202-224-3121.
- The Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals in an en banc ruling upheld Maryland’s 2013 assault weapons ban and magazine capacity restriction. In Kolbe v.

NSSF strongly disagrees with the court’s mischaracterization of MSRs and is evaluating legal options.
