[ad_1] Trenton Democrats desperately want to pass something, anything. They just are not sure what. So far, their approach has been to throw everything at the wall and see what sticks. Make no mistake, Gov.

[ad_1] The Assembly Judiciary Committee agenda for tomorrow grew overnight.

[ad_1] The NRA will support legislation that improves school security, promotes mental health services, and helps reduce violent crime.

[ad_1] The California Legislature continues to fast track firearm related legislation, making bills eligible for floor votes as early as this week. Additionally, the legislature is continuing their underhanded tactics of “gutting and amending” bills. This means they replace the entire text of a bill with new language picking up in the process wherever the

[ad_1] So-called “Red Flag” orders, or Emergency Risk Protection Orders, are designed to empower the government to confiscate Americans’ firearms without due process of law.
