Frequently Asked Questions

What is H.R. 1808 and what are the concerns surrounding it?

H.R. 1808, the "assault weapons ban of 2022," passed the U.S. House of Representatives. The NSSF condemns it, arguing it infringes on the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens by banning common firearms like semi-automatic handguns, hunting shotguns, and modern sporting rifles.

Why is Montana's Attorney General suing the Biden Administration?

Montana AG Austin Knudsen, with 16 other State Attorneys General, is suing the Biden Administration over an ATF proposed final rule. This rule would regulate unfinished firearm parts as completed firearms, which they argue undermines state laws and federal authority.

What was the purpose of firearm industry CEOs testifying before Congress?

Firearm company CEOs were called to Capitol Hill to be questioned by the U.S. House Oversight and Reform Committee regarding advertising and marketing practices. CEOs like Marty Daniel defended their products, stating murderers, not lawfully sold firearms, are responsible for crimes.

What is National Shooting Sports Month and its significance?

August is National Shooting Sports Month, established by NSSF in 2017. It celebrates the positive impacts of hunting and recreational shooting, recognizing the firearm industry's $70 billion economic contribution and over 375,000 jobs.
