The FCC cleared the last hurdle on the path to eliminating net neutrality regulations earlier this week, starting a final 60-day waiting period that sets the effective date of repeal to April 23. To commemorate his success at shepherding the agency through the repeal process, the National Rifle Association conferred upon him its Charlton Heston Courage Under Fire Award, which includes a plaque and a real, actual gun. "It’s a Kentucky handmade long gun," said the NRA's Carolyn Meadows, "and you’ll love it."

In his introduction of Pai at the Conservative Political Action Conference, Dan Schneider of the American Conservative Union said that after Pai was appointed to the FCC board by Barack Obama "because the Senate Republicans insisted that Ajit Pai be put on there," he fought tooth and nail, and ultimately unsuccessfully, against the Obama administration's efforts to "take over the internet."
