NDSSA Junior Match Support Policy

One of the major objectives of the North Dakota Shooting Sports Association is to promote and foster junior shooting programs and junior shooters across the state. Many of our junior shooters excel and reach the next level to compete nationally in their discipline. This policy outlines NDSSA financial support of North Dakota resident juniors attending National Championship Matches.

Level of Funding

Juniors are eligible to receive funding to one event per year.
On an annual basis the NDSSA board will determine of the total amount of funding available and individual limit for the upcoming year. A recommendation put forth and approved by vote at the NDSSA Annual Membership meeting.

New Jersey: Assembly Committee Advances Gun Control Bills
On Monday, December 15, the Assembly Judiciary Committee passed a pair of bad gun control bills along party lines. NRA-ILA testified against S.1425/A.3789 and A.6211, and interestingly, there were no witnesses calling for passage. Despite the lack of support, the one-sided debate ended in 4–2 votes to advance both bills, with both Republicans on the panel voting NO. These bills do nothing to enhance public safety. The first bill is a swipe at gun dealers, and the second bill is a response to the Bruen decision by anti-Second Amendment lawmakers in Trenton. Please contact your Assembly member and respectfully urge them to OPPOSE S.1425, A.3789, and A.6211.
