If you answered “yes” to all three questions above, then there’s an upcoming dinner party you might want to crash attend. From Patriot Picket comes news of an event that a Maryland law firm — one that specializes in “government relations” — is throwing for members of the state Senate’s Judicial Proceedings Committee: Bellamy Genn […]
Sen. Bob Menendez [D-NJ] has filed Senate Bill 3299, a bill to repeal certain impediments to the administration of the firearms laws. As of this writing, the bill’s text is not available, but early indications are that this is a straight-up firearm and gun owner registration move. Per Menendez’s press release the bill is aimed […]
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 […]
By Larry Keane In a welcomed sign for hunting and shooting sports enthusiasts across the country, the Trump Administration this week submitted its 2020 budget proposal to Congress, and it’s chock full of good news for outdoorsmen and women. President Donald Trump – an ardent supporter of law-abiding Americans’ Second Amendment rights – included in […]
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 […]
By Aamer Madhani, Associated Press After the Parkland school shooting in Florida two years ago, President Donald Trump chided Republican lawmakers for being too “scared” of the National Rifle Association to tighten gun laws — then backed away from the idea. After back-to-back mass shootings in Ohio and Texas in 2019, Trump embraced calls for “strong background checks” — […]
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 […]
Arizona Democrats have filed yet another “assault weapon” ban bill. This one is Senate Bill 1625. At first glance, with two notable stand-outs, it’s pretty much par for the gun-grabbing course; a ban on assaulty-looking guns with grandfathering. But the first notable item is just how inclusive this bill is. All semiautomatic rifles that take […]
By Jeff Hulbert Once upon a time in Virginia, a little emperor named Michael Bloomberg threw a gun control party, but gun rights advocates crashed it…bigly. And what a party it was. Unfortunately, we neglected to RSVP. Spoiler Alert: this story has a happy ending with Michael Bloomberg’s presidential campaign bus veering off into a […]
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 […]
By Larry Keane Call it gun control brain freeze. The Democratic presidential candidates pained themselves into contortions on the New Hampshire debate stage last week in what was clearly symptomatic of sucking on the straw of the same ice-cold talking point concoctions. It hurts the head just thinking about it. Democratic candidates were finally forced […]
