[ad_1] Since the U.S. Supreme Court handed down its decision in NYSRPA v. Bruen affirming the Second Amendment right to bear arms for protection outside the home, New York politicians have been on the warpath against the right to self-defense. Despite Gov. Kathy Hochul’s (D) and the N.Y. State Assembly’s best (and unconstitutional) efforts, New

[ad_1] On July 11, Joe Biden held an event at the White House to celebrate what his administration called “the most significant gun violence legislation to have been signed into law in 30 years.” The ink on the so-called “Bipartisan Safer Communities Act,” passed over the NRA’s objection, is barely dry. And the same can

[ad_1] Not happy with the prospect of ordinary, law-abiding citizens having access to their Second Amendment rights outside of the home, Montgomery County, possibly the most anti-gun county in the state, and one known for being soft on actual criminals, seeks to restrict carry in any way they can. The U.S. Supreme Court affirmed that

[ad_1] Columbia has submitted a draft ordinance to Attorney General Alan Wilson’s office asking if it violates the state’s preemption law. The draft ordinance victimizes gun owners who have suffered the loss or theft of their property, if they fail to report a lost or stolen firearm within a certain period of time after discovering

[ad_1] On Monday, Governor Gavin Newsom signed another anti-gun bill into law, Assembly Bill 1594. Introduced by Assembly Member Phil Ting (D-19), AB 1594 creates a private right of action against firearm industry members for failure to implement “reasonable” controls. This intentionally vague term can subject the industry to crippling lawsuits regardless of whether there is any actual violation of law, and therefore

[ad_1] Tonight, the Winchester City Council will consider O2022-23, to repeal a restriction on carrying firearms at public events. Last year, the City Council passed an ordinance to ban firearms in certain public places. In it, was a prohibition on carrying firearms at permitted events and events that “would otherwise require a permit,” making it

[ad_1] Yesterday, Governor Roy Cooper unsurprisingly vetoed House Bill 49, which would have ensured that law-abiding citizens who inadvertently let their carry permit expire could apply for a new one without as much time and expense. The Senate previously pulled it from committee and promptly passed it on the floor less than two weeks prior.

[ad_1] In maneuvers highly reminiscent of the frantic enactment of the “SAFE” Act in 2013, “rushed to a vote only hours after it was printed,” Governor Kathy Hochul signed New York’s latest gun control bill into law on the same day the lengthy bill text was made publicly available. Legislators in the Empire State passed

[ad_1] Anti-gun politicians hate civilian gun ownership so much, they’re willing to do away with the First Amendment just to get at the Second. Such is the case with New York’s new speech-based restrictions on the Right-to-Carry. Just as troubling is California’s AB2571, which purports to ban all firearms-related advertising that a minor (those under

[ad_1] Today marks the initial signature collecting deadline for Initiative Petition 17. The petitioners claim to have gathered enough signatures to qualify it for the ballot this November. The Secretary of State will now have to certify if the signatures are sufficient.  IP 17 would:  – require a permit to purchase a firearm  – ban magazines over 10

[ad_1] Next week, the Greenwood Village City Council will vote on the final passage of Ordinance 07-22, which will infringe on your Second Amendment rights by prohibiting firearm sales from home businesses. Your chance to express your opposition to this anti-gun ordinance is Monday, July 11th, at 7:00 pm, during the public hearing period for Ordinance

[ad_1] This week, the Boulder County Commissioners unanimously voted – without allowing public comments – to pass a gun control package to infringe on your Second Amendment rights. Citizens will finally be given the opportunity to comment on the five, anti-gun ordinances at a public hearing on August 2nd. The County Commissioners will consider oral

[ad_1] Today, Governor Larry Hogan ordered Maryland State Police (MSP) to immediately suspend requiring applicants for Wear and Carry Permits to demonstrate a “good and substantial” reason for wanting a permit. This is to bring Maryland into compliance with the recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling from the NYSRPA v Bruen case. For far too long,

[ad_1] On June 23, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down New York’s discretionary carry licensing regime as a violation of the Second Amendment right to bear arms in the NRA-backed case NYSRPA v. Bruen. The law at issue was the modern version New York’s Sullivan Law, which was enacted in 1911. Named for notorious Tammany

[ad_1] The Biden Administration is serious about making it more difficult for responsible citizens to exercise their gun rights, which is hardly surprising from the most anti-Second Amendment president in history. What is less obvious is the effect President Biden’s other policy decisions have had, directly or indirectly, on making communities less safe. Besides his

[ad_1] Anti-Second Amendment politicians returned to Albany late this week and did the bidding of Gov. Kathy Hochul.  She called the Legislature back into an “extraordinary” session this week.  The session was anything but extraordinary. Lawmakers sat around in Albany for 36 hours while one party wrote the bill.  In typical one-party-rule fashion, this was

[ad_1] On the heels of last week’s landmark Supreme Court decision in NYSRPA v. Bruen, Majority Democrats in Trenton doubled down on even more Second Amendment infringements by passing yet another package of gun bills.  This is the third gun-control package put forward by Gov. Phil Murphy, as the previous packages continue to be abject

[ad_1] The California Legislature starts their Summer recess today, but not before a busy week full of defiant action against the recent Supreme Court victory in the NRA case of NYSRPA v. Bruen. The legislature passed several anti-gun bills out of policy committees and passed eight anti-gun bills onto the Governor’s desk, two of which

[ad_1] Yesterday, Governor John Carney signed all of the anti-gun bills that the General Assembly sent to his desk. This surprised no one, as he announced his support for these schemes early on. They include a ban on many commonly-owned firearms, a ban on many standard-capacity magazines, discriminating against young adults, and allowing lawsuits to

[ad_1] Today, the Senate pulled House Bill 49 from the Committee on Rules and Operations and will send it to the floor for final passage. It requires sheriffs to waive the training requirement for former concealed carry permit holders who apply for renewal within 60 days of their previous permit expiring. If the permit has

[ad_1] Earlier this week, California Attorney General Rob Bonta announced that he would be releasing firearms data via the California DOJ’s Firearms Dashboard Portal. That data contained gun owners’ names, dates of birth, gender, race, driver’s license numbers, addresses, and criminal history. Today, NRA-ILA asked a federal judge to stop the DOJ from violating gun owners’ privacy rights and

[ad_1] One week after our landmark victory in NYSRPA v. Bruen, the Supreme Court issued orders in two other NRA-ILA backed cases. Those cases, ANJRPC v. Bruck and Duncan v. Bonta, challenge New Jersey and California laws that ban magazines capable of holding more than 10 rounds of ammunition. The Third and Ninth Circuits, over

[ad_1] Fairfax, Va. – The National Rifle Association Political Victory Fund (NRA-PVF) is proud to announce its endorsement of Derek Schmidt for governor in the 2022 Kansas primary election. “Derek Schmidt is a staunch supporter of our Second Amendment freedoms and he will continue to fight to protect our fundamental right to self-defense,” said Jason

[ad_1] Yesterday, the House voted 23-18 to pass Senate Bill 302 and the Senate voted 14-7 to pass House Bill 451. HB 451 then went back to the House, which voted 25-15 to concur. These two anti-gun bills now go to Governor John Carney’s desk, where they join three other anti-gun bills. Gov. Carney has

[ad_1] On Monday June 27, California Attorney General Rob Bonta announced the launch of the California Department of Justice (DOJ)’s Firearms Dashboard Portal. The data tool was designed to give granular firearm transaction and Concealed Carry Weapons (CCW) permit holder data to anyone visiting the DOJ’s website. However, astute users quickly realized that the dashboard

[ad_1] Anti-gun politicians in Trenton will have their opportunity this week to lash out against New Jersey gun owners who secured a major victory last week in the United States Supreme Court.  Concealed carry, which for decades has been denied to Garden State gun owners, was reaffirmed as the “law of the land” last week.

[ad_1] New Jersey’s acting Attorney General, Matthew J. Platkin, issued a directive “clarifying requirements for carrying firearms in public” a day after the historic ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court in New York State Rifle & Pistol Assoc. v. Bruen on June 23. That ruling struck down as unconstitutional the handgun permitting regime in neighboring

[ad_1] Last week, the United States Supreme Court handed down a huge victory for gun owners, confirming what has been known all along: that the 2nd Amendment is not a second class right and should not be treated as such. However, the California legislature is continuing their quest to completely undermine this inherent right to

[ad_1] Today, state Representative Mandi Ballinger (R-23) received the Defender of Freedom Award from the National Rifle Association Institute for Legislative Action in recognition of her tireless efforts to defend liberty and protect the interests of law-abiding gun owners and sportsmen in Georgia. Since her time in the Georgia Legislature began in 2013, Representative Ballinger
