Firearms are important tools in rural America. Rural Liberation is committed promoting reasonable regulations on weapons over sweeping bans and other unnecessarily restrictive regulations. Rural Liberation recognizes that most gun owners support some basic regulations, such as universal background checks and restricting access for those recognized as mentally ill. We are committed to advocating for the regulating to stop beyond these basic regulations, and support firearm education courses to ensure that everyone who owns a firearm is equipped to handle it safely.
