High-Profile Gun Rights http://www.multibriefs.com/briefs/tsra/header.gif Aug. 26, 2009 TSRA Quick Links > Home Annual Meeting Join Legislative Info Links Services High-Profile Gun Rights Case Inches Toward Supreme Court from CBS News http://www.multibriefs.com/briefs/nr...Brief-icon.gif A federal appeals court on Sept. 24 will hear a high-profile gun rights case that's a leading candidate to end up before the U.S. Supreme Court.

More Soldiers Take Time Out to Teach New Shooters from the U.S. Army Every summer at Camp Perry, Ohio, prior to the National Rifle and Pistol Trophy Matches, Soldiers from the U.S. Army Marksmanship Unit take time out of their own training to pass their knowledge and shooting skills on to the next generation of American shooters.

So-called "must-issue" laws, which mandate that anyone who meets the requirements for a gun permit must be issued one, are spreading to more states. Congress has broadened the rights of gun owners recently, for example allowing guns in federal parks. And the Supreme Court's decision in District of Columbia v. Heller last year emboldened gun owners, experts say. It confirmed that the constitutional right "to keep and bear arms" is not a state right, as some gun-control advocates had argued, but an individual right. More Commentary: Unwise Gun Treaty Erodes U.S. Sovereignty from McClatchy CIFTA -- the 1997 small-arms trafficking treaty drafted with the help of the Clinton administration -- is bad as a matter of principle and policy. When the United Nations tried to get the Bush administration to push the treaty through the Senate, it refused. John Bolton, then undersecretary of state for arms control, said the United States would reject any effort to regulate trade in non-military arms or any treaty that would "abrogate the constitutional right to bear arms."
