Step two, combine that relatively low number with the far greater number of firearm-related deaths involving juveniles and young adults ages 15-17, 15-19, or even ages 15-24. Step three, present the resulting data as the shocking number of “children” (ages 0-17, 0-19 or 0-24) who are subjected to “gun violence” each day/week/month/year.

Volunteers are hard at work—stacking arrows, checking firearms, brewing coffee. Today the entire club has paused its normal operations for something truly special: a Women On Target Instructional Shooting Clinic. Soon, 60 women from across the state will arrive for a full day of hands-on experience with rifle, pistol, shotgun and archery.</span></p><p><span style="display: initial;"><br/></span></p><p><span style="display: initial; font-weight: 400;">Demand for this clinic is sky-high. Thousands of women participate in Women On Target clinics nationwide, but spots at DCWC clinic are coveted. Co-organizers Edie Fleeman and Lisa Williams have refined a registration process to keep things fair: paper registrations only, postmarked after a specified date, no walk-ins, no spectators, no special favors for friends and family. Planning takes months. Execution requires a small army of volunteers.</span></p><p><span style="display: initial;"><br/></span></p><p><strong style="display: initial; font-weight: 400;">Women from All Walks of Life</strong><span style="display: initial; font-weight: 400;"><br/>Just before 8 a.m., a steady stream of cars winds toward the clubhouse.

The VA, of course, is a creation of Congress, as are the statutes that empower, guide, and fund its activities.<br/><br/>Yet as is characteristic of many government agencies, the VA has formed its own agenda, born of deeply entrenched bureaucrats with their personal ideas about how government should operate. One glaring example of this is the department’s focus on gun control, a priority that is not only unrelated to its core mission but puts the VA at odds with many of the veterans its serves, who deeply value the right to keep and bear arms. In a stunning example of bureaucracy run amok, VA officials brazenly told incredulous members of Congress at Wednesday’s hearing the VA “could not” and “would not” comply with proposed legislation aimed at reining in this unauthorized mission. <br/></span></p></div> 1844 <a data-display-type="block" class="u_1547947535 align-center dmButtonLink dmWidget dmWwr default dmOnlyButton dmDefaultGradient flexButton" file="false" href="https://www.nraila.org/articles/20240715/va-tells-congressional-panel-it-could-not-and-would-not-comply-with-pro-gun-legislation" data-element-type="dButtonLinkId" id="1547947535" target="_blank" data-buttonstyle="ROUND_SIDES"> <span class="iconBg" aria-hidden="true" id="1252965776"> <span class="icon hasFontIcon icon-star" id="1838112441"></span> 1845</span> 1846 <span class="text" id="1063184560">Read Full Article</span> 1847</a> 1848 <div class="u_1390151165 dmDividerWrapper clearfix" data-element-type="dDividerId" data-layout="divider-style-1" data-widget-version="2" id="1390151165"><hr class="dmDivider" style="border-width:2px; border-top-style:solid; color:grey;" id="1008902877"/></div> 1849 <div class="dmNewParagraph" data-element-type="paragraph" data-version="5" id="1790133221"> <h1><span style="display: initial;"><br/></span></h1> 1850 <h1 class="m-size-38 size-48"><span style="display: initial;" class="font-size-48 m-font-size-38">NRA Files Lawsuit Challenging ATF’s “Engaged in the Business” Rule</span></h1> 1851<p><span style="display: initial;"><br/></span></p><p><span style="display: initial;">The National Rifle Association of America (NRA) has filed a lawsuit challenging the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives’ (ATF) “Engaged in the Business” Final Rule.
