Former Cop Tells Congress "I Will Not Comply" With A Gun Ban :: 09/26/2019
When Rep. Jerry Nadler scheduled a House Judiciary Committee hearing designed to build support for a ban on semi-automatic firearms deemed to be “assault weapons”, I bet he didn’t expect a 2nd Amendment activist, competitive shooter, and former law enforcement officer to end up as the star of the show. That’s exactly what happened, however, when Dianna Muller of The DC Project told those on the committee that she will not comply with any future ban.
House Judiciary Committee Holds Hearing On "Assault Weapons" Ban :: 09/26/2019
Earlier this month the House Judiciary Committee passed three gun control bills, sending them on to the full House of Representatives for approval in the Democrat-controlled chamber. Now the committee’s back in session and holding a hearing on “Protecting America From Assault Weapons today.

Pennsylvania House Judiciary Committee Chairman Rob Kauffman’s declaration Tuesday that he will not take up a bill aimed at giving people a new way to get guns out of the hands of suicidal or judgement-impaired persons had two early effects at the state Capitol:
Pennsylvania: Gun debate revived in Pennsylvania statehouse :: 09/26/2019
The debate over guns was revived Tuesday in Pennsylvania’s Republican-controlled Legislature after a year of shocking violence, although Democrats went away frustrated and warning the process could end up actually loosening gun laws.

Armed Ohio Teachers Learning To Defend Students :: 09/25/2019
School shootings are a real fear for many Americans. Following some of the recent high-profile school shootings, I can understand why. Yes, they’re rare and shouldn’t be a major cause for concern, the media has latched onto these events making them seem like a more pressing problem, scaring the crap out of millions of people for no good reason.
No, ATF Didn’t Really Admit To Overstepping On Bump Stock Ban :: 09/25/2019
The bump stock ban should never have happened. I know why it did, but it shouldn’t have. There was zero reason for the ATF to regulate bump stocks into illegality and we all know it. However, it’s a done deal.
Pennsylvania House Judiciary Chairman Won't Consider Red Flag Bill :: 09/25/2019
Gun control proposals go through cycles, kind of like fashion. Decades ago, it was all about banning handguns. Then it was assault weapons (that one’s come back in fashion…it’s like my seven-year-old calling something “fly”). Right now, the big rage in gun-grabber circles is red flag laws. The idea sounds good, especially when you don’t understand the laws already on the books. I mean, taking guns from potential mass murderers sounds pretty good.
Trump: Dems Traded Gun Control For Chance To ‘Hurt’ GOP :: 09/25/2019
When the political system works as designed, there’s a delicate balance of compromise between all parties. Few rarely get everything they want, especially not without giving a little something in return. That’s the art of compromise and all that. You have to give a little to get a little, as the saying goes. That means playing nice with people you may not particularly like
Giant Eagle and the Second Amendment :: 09/24/2019
Beto O’Rourke and the Democrat Presidential candidates talk about big splashy plans to confiscate or license guns and deny services to gun and ammunition manufacturers. That is unlikely to happen. What is more likely is a subtle, step by step non-legislative action that will ultimately lead to the nullification of the Second Amendment.
Pa. House committee will vote on mandatory minimums for gun crimes, much to Democrats chagrin :: 09/24/2019
In the wake of a summer of mass shootings, a Pennsylvania House committee is poised to vote on a bill that expands prison sentences for gun crimes but not on a “red flag” proposal.
PA: When it comes to guns, we have forgotten ourselves :: 09/24/2019
This week in Harrisburg, we have a spate of hearings regarding gun control in the Pennsylvania State Senate. The fact that red flag laws that violate the Second, Fourth and Sixth Amendments of the U.S. Constitution and Article 1 Section 21 of the Pennsylvania State Constitution are even being discussed in the Commonwealth must have the founders spinning in their graves. It’s a Bill of Rights, not a Bill of Suggestions. How could Pennsylvania, the birthplace of our founding documents, have degenerated into a repository for such legislative flotsam usually reserved for liberal states such as New York and California?
UK: Church Leaders Ask Government to Ban Pointed Kitchen Knives :: 09/24/2019
I’m so old I remember when “knife control” was a joke and not a thing that was under serious consideration.
Conservatives: We'll Spill Blood to Keep Our Guns :: 09/23/2019
Last month, Democratic presidential candidate Beto O’Rourke proposed a modest solution to the relentless tide of mass shootings: a mandatory buyback program for every AR-15 in the country. The View co-host Meghan McCain responded with a dire warning. “The AR-15 is by far the most popular gun in America, by far,” she told her fellow panelists. “I was just in the middle of nowhere Wyoming, if you’re talking about taking people’s guns from them, there’s going to be a lot of violence.”
Dana Loesch Proves, Once Again, Why Red Flag Laws Are Dangerous :: 09/23/2019
Extreme Risk Protection Orders (ERPOs), commonly referred to as red flag laws, have been all the talk in Washington. Politicians on both sides of the aisle seem to think red flag laws are the answers to the mass shootings taking place in our country.
Did Gun Violence Researcher Just Expose Gun Control Myth? :: 09/23/2019
Buried in the text of an article in the current issue of Discover Magazine dealing with so-called “gun violence” is an interesting remark from one of the leading names in gun-related research that seems to let the air out of an argument anti-gunners have been using for several years.
Tucker Carlson May Be Done With 2A Debates, It's Too Stupid :: 09/23/2019
Tucker Carlson is easily one of the biggest names in right-leaning media, if not the biggest. Between his Fox News show and his website, The Daily Caller, he definitely knows how to make a splash. Couple that with his incredibly popular books, and the man has a name.
A Suspiciously Selective, Logically Shaky Analysis of Mass Shooting Data Claims the Federal Assault Weapon Ban Really Did Work :: 09/22/2019
Stanford law professor John Donohue claims to have discovered evidence that the 1994 federal ban on so-called assault weapons "really did work," because mass shootings and the deaths caused by them declined while the law was in effect, then rose afterward. But the methodology Donohue used is suspiciously selective, and his results do not show what he thinks they do.

Media Happily Lends Republicans Its Megaphone to Sell Out Gun Owners :: 09/22/2019
U.S.A. – -(Ammoland.com)- “A red flag law will reduce bloodshed and respect the rights of gun owners,” Florida “Republican” Senator Marco Rubio disingenuously promises in a Thursday promo piece for universal harassment of the “law-abiding,” happily hosted by The New York Times.
