U.S. SENATE CHANGE OF CONTROL BODES WELL FOR GUN ISSUES

With control of the U.S. Senate going to Republicans in the new Congress, there is little likelihood of legislation passing in the next two years that would be detrimental to citizens’ firearms rights or the lawful commerce in firearms, according to the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF).

In the U.S. House of Representatives, additional Republican members will bolster the majority already supportive of America’s hunting and sports shooting traditions. NSSF says they will continue to provide leadership in a renewed coalition effort for passage of the Bipartisan Sportsmen’s Act early in the 114th Congress.
