Youth Shooting Sports programs are an important tool to pass on a legacy – not only the shooting sport tradition, but the American Way and the preservation of our Country. As we navigate the complexities of our changing modern world, the need for strong character, discipline, and leadership skills has never been more critical to keep our American Dream alive.
The Indiana General Assembly kicks off the 2024 Legislative Session next week, November 21. Although a short Session, we will see many Bills impacting our 2A Rights. ISRPA will be working hand-in-hand with the NRA and NSSF on several pieces of legislation, including Bills to counter financial institutions discrimination against individuals and businesses exercising their Constitutional Freedoms by banning their ability to process credit cards and other financial transactions essential in functioning in today’s society. These financial institutions have taken an approach directly out of the Chinese Communist Party Playbook to cancel citizens from participating in society and business if they don’t adhere to strict far-left standards.
Other pieces of legislation that are expected include:
This is Katie Pointer Baney, chairman and executive director of the USCCA-FSL Action Fund. I wanted to reach out to you today to break down the new office of “Gun Violence Prevention” and what it means for gun owners like you.
The current administration has made it clear that the purpose of this new office will be to advance the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, which has highly problematic provisions like working to increase universal background checks and enact red flag laws in states.
This is the first-ever White House office solely focused on limiting your Second Amendment rights under the guise of “gun violence prevention.” I want to be clear: More federal bureaucracy or gun control legislation will do nothing to keep communities safer.
In his announcement, President Biden stated that Vice President Kamala Harris would be in charge of overseeing this effort.
We wanted to give YOU the exclusive opportunity to contact her directly and let her know what you feel the Office of “Gun Violence Prevention” should do. That’s why we need you to send a letter to Vice President Harris telling her EXACTLY what you feel this new office should be about:
✅ Support Firearms Training & Education
✅ Support National Concealed Carry Reciprocity
✅ Protect American Gun Owners Constitutional Rights
This is your chance. Send Vice President Harris a letter TODAY →
ACT NOW
The best way to prevent violent crime in this country is by affirming our citizens fundamental right to self defense, empowering them with tools to defend themselves and their loved ones. Everyone is safer when a responsible gun owner is carrying and able to stop a violent criminal in their tracks.
Right now, more Americans than ever before in our history are choosing to responsibly arm themselves.
We want to flood Vice President Harris’ inbox with millions of letters from responsible American gun owners like you. Make sure you send a letter here.
Thank you,
Katie Pointer Baney
Executive Director and Chairman of the Board
Dear Members and Supporters of USA Shooting,
I hope this letter finds you well and filled with anticipation as the Olympic Trials are currently underway on the Path to Paris. The road to the Olympic and Paralympic Games is a testament to the dedication, hard work, and unwavering spirit of our athletes and the entire shooting community. As we approach this pivotal moment, I am reaching out to you with both hope and an urgent call for your support.
The Path to Paris represents the culmination of years of dreams and aspirations. Our athletes have poured countless hours into training, overcoming obstacles, and pushing their boundaries to proudly represent our nation on the global stage. They embody the values of discipline, perseverance, and excellence that make us all proud to be a part of USA Shooting.
However, this journey comes with significant financial challenges. The costs associated with training, travel, equipment, and competitions are substantial. We remain committed to equipping our athletes with the necessary resources to succeed, but we cannot achieve this alone. That is why I reach out to you today.
We are launching a fundraising drive with the immediate goal of ensuring that our athletes have the support they need to shine in Paris. Your contribution, regardless of size, will have a profound impact. It will not only provide vital financial support but also serve as a powerful symbol of your belief in our athletes and the values they embody.
I kindly request that you donate whatever you can to support USA Shooting and the Path to Paris. Your generosity will help us provide world-class coaching, state-of-the-art equipment, and the opportunities our athletes require to reach their full potential. Furthermore, I encourage you to share this appeal letter with at least five individuals who share our passion for shooting sports. By uniting as a community, we can ensure the success of our fundraising campaign and truly make a difference in the lives of our athletes.
To make a donation, please visit usashooting.org/donate or send your contribution to USA Shooting, 1 Olympic Plaza #3, Colorado Springs, CO 80909. Every dollar contributes and brings us closer to our objective. Together, we can provide our athletes with the support they deserve and epitomize the true spirit of USA Shooting.
Thank you for considering this appeal, for your unwavering support, and for being an integral part of our journey. Let us join forces and create a Path to Paris that our athletes will cherish for a lifetime.
With gratitude and hope,

Your help is urgently needed, as the official comment period on ATF’s rulemaking, “Definition of ‘Engaged in the Business’ as a Dealer in Firearms,” began on Friday, September 8. Comments on the rule will be accepted for 90 days, until December 7, 2023. The more comments ATF receives exposing the flaws, false premises, and overreaching nature of the rule, the more ATF will have to answer for if the agency persists in this ill-conceived effort. While it might be true that no amount of well-reasoned opposition will cause the Biden Administration to discontinue its persecution of gun-owning America, thoughtful comments exposing the proposal’s true nature may embarrass ATF into rewriting some of its worst provisions. And if that doesn’t happen, judges will be on notice that ATF was warned of the proposal’s problems when the final rule is, inevitably, challenged in court.
The easiest and most effective way to comment on the proposal is through the online portal at regulations.gov. Comments can also be mailed to Helen Koppe, Mail Stop 6N–518, Office of Regulatory Affairs, Enforcement Programs and Services, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, 99 New York Ave. NE, Washington, DC 20226; ATTN: ATF 2022R–17. In either case, be sure to reference docket number ATF 2022R–17 to identify the rulemaking on which you are commenting.

Political observers expect the Washington Post and the New York Times to carry water for Joe Biden’s Department of Justice gun control agenda. It’s surprising when the conservative National Review seemingly bends over backwards to defend the weaponized agency in a poorly researched and written piece.
On August 9, National Review published an item with the confident title “Yes, the ATF Can Legally Regulate Ghost Guns.” The ill-informed piece was written by a summer intern. If it was an unpaid internship, the publication got every penny’s worth.
At issue is the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives rule 2021R-05, concerning the “Definition of “Frame or Receiver” and Identification of Firearms.” Published April 26, 2022, the rule, in part, contends that ATF has the statutory authority to regulate so-called unfinished or 80-percent frames or receivers. As firearms built from unregulated parts for personal use do not require markings and are not subject to federal recordkeeping, gun control advocates refer to firearms constructed using unfinished frames or receivers as “ghost guns” to spook the ignorant.
Federal law, 18 U.S.C. § 921(a)(3), defines “firearm” for the purposes of the Gun Control Act (GCA) as follows:
(3) The term “firearm” means (A) any weapon (including a starter gun) which will or is designed to or may readily be converted to expel a projectile by the action of an explosive; (B) the frame or receiver of any such weapon; (C) any firearm muffler or firearm silencer; or (D) any destructive device. Such term does not include an antique firearm.
For the seventh year in a row, August is National Shooting Sports Month, and events are being held at a variety of locations across the nation. Some of the biggest in the industry are supporting the celebration, including the NRA, MidwayUSA, SIG Sauer, Mossberg, Trijicon, Browning, Ruger, Smith & Wesson, Winchester and dozens more.
In many cases enthusiasts are granted free use of ranges on special days during the month. It’s a great, no-cost opportunity to get behind a trigger at a facility they’ve never visited before.
On Saturday, Aug. 19, for example, the Ohio Department of Natural Resources Division of Wildlife is hosting a Free Range Day at five of Ohio’s premier public shooting ranges—Deer Creek Wildlife Area, Delaware Wildlife Area, Grand River Wildlife Area and Spring Valley Wildlife Area.
