SACRAMENTO — California lawmakers are weighing a pitch from the White House for states to toughen gun storage rules as legislation languishes in Congress. Even though many states, including California, have laws in place for safely storing guns when children are present, the Biden administration wants them to go further by requiring gun owners to secure
EDITOR: Sadly, it didn’t take long to see a demonstration of the impotence of Governor Whitmer’s gun storage law. A two-year-old child was killed through the negligence of her father (law or not) regarding access to a loaded firearm. Two articles in the Daily Press and other sources provide similar accounts, but also
Two different Ohio Senate committees are set to consider controversial bills Tuesday.

A proposed state Senate bill would — and should — close the assault rifle loophole. Prepare yourself, because this will shock almost no one: the gun lobby is blatantly lying to Hawaii legislators. People who make money off the sales of firearms are trying to sell our elected leaders on the idea that hunters in
On Friday’s CNN NewsNight, host Abby Phillip gave a forum to far-left film maker Michael Moore to comment on the presidential race, leading him to accuse the Israel of committing “genocide” in Gaza, preposterously alleging that the Palestinians are being killed because of the “color of their skin.” He also rejoiced in the NRA’s legal

From her speech yesterday at CPAC, you would never have guessed Tulsi Gabbard ran as a Democratic candidate for president just three years ago. In fact, one could easily mistake her for a card carrying, gun toting, God loving MAGA acolyte. Not at all uncomfortable in front of a sea of populist conservatives, the former

Pete Stauber has repeatedly rejected common-sense proposals to outlaw assault weapons and large-capacity magazines, which have enabled many mass murderers.

Janet Mills
