On Monday, the House of Delegates advanced the assault-style ban to its final reading, with Democratic lawmakers contending that it will not infringe on anybody’s Second Amendment rights. Republicans argue otherwise, saying it would criminalize ownership of some magazines, even after Democrats tempered penalties to a misdemeanor. At one point, police escorted protesters out of […]
The military may be interested in other calibers, but the US Army has just awarded FN America a big contract to crank out thousands of M4’s chambered in good ol’ 5.56 over the next five years. As the Defense Department has announced: FN America LLC, Columbia, South Carolina, was awarded a $119,216,309 firm-fixed-price contract for […]
The US Senate’s Civilian Disarmament Caucus has just introduced a bill that would, for all intents and purposes, create a national gun registry. They’re just politically savvy enough not to call it that. If approved, the Gun Records Restoration and Preservation Act would repeal the following Tiahrt provisions: End the prohibition on ATF from releasing […]
As we’ve reported, the state of Illinois has siphoned off tens of millions of dollars of revenue from the Illinois State Police that was designated to fund the processing of firearms owners ID cards and concealed carry licenses. That money was diverted from its authorized use to into other parts of the Land of Lincoln’s […]
Washington DC city fathers (and mothers…far be it from us to perpetuate the patriarchy), just like their counterparts in most other big urban areas around the country, make quite a show of decrying “gun violence” at every opportunity. But the problem isn’t a lack of laws on the books. There’s no shortage of regulations. The […]
If at first you don’t succeed, sue, sue again. You may remember that ARMSLIST was the target of a Brady Campaign-backed lawsuit after a man shot up a Wisconsin beauty salon in 2012, killing his wife and two others. He’d bought the gun he used in the crime in a private transaction that had been […]
My first bill of the 2020 session is a proposal to increase funds for gun violence prevention & reduction efforts in CT cities by establishing a 35% excise tax on ammunition. #gunsense #enough pic.twitter.com/SGa9eSeHLg — Jillian Gilchrest (@Jilchrest) February 10, 2020 Last year, Connecticut State Rep. Jillian Gilchrest proposed a 50% ammunition tax, but that […]
Fred Guttenberg, whose daughter was murdered in the Parkland shooting, was ejected from the State of the Union speech for yelling at the President. “Later on in the [State of the Union] speech, when he got to the part about the Second Amendment and [Trump] said, ‘I will defend your Second Amendment rights, which are […]
From the American Suppressor Association . . . This afternoon the Virginia House of Delegates voted 51 – 48 in favor of passing House Bill 961, Delegate Mark Levine’s (D-45) “assault firearm” and suppressor ban. All 45 Republican Delegates voted against the bill. They were joined by Del. Lee Carter (D-50), Del. Steve Heretick (D-79), and Del. Rosalyn […]
When you think of heavily gun controlled states, names like New York, California and New Jersey immediately come to mind. But don’t sleep on Maryland. The Eat Crab or Die State has long been at the forefront of Second Amendment rights abrogation and a new bill entered in the state’s House would move the Old […]
As we’ve pointed out time and again, (see here, here and here) far-left pseudo indigenous person Elizabeth Warren has a problem with poor people owning firearms and having the ability to defend themselves. She’s patronizingly against Second Amendment rights for anyone below a certain income level and wants to tax guns and ammunition out of […]
We’ve seen this movie before. When called out on this (in the unlikely event that she is), Ms. Watts will no doubt defend herself by saying she was just regurgitating the willful misinformation being spouted in the linked article by New York Senator Chuck Schumer trying to whip up fear of “ghost guns.” But that’s […]
