PA House Speaker looking into whether laws were broken for NBC's ghost gun story :: 04/15/2022
Any time the glib anti-freedom caucus gets a chance to hold up trophies in the way of menacing looking firearms, they will. Whether it’s Sleepy Joe holding up a pistol frame on the lawn of the White House (what’s the DC transfer laws?) or some other lawmaker holding up an AR-15 like they’re a Star Wars Tusken Raider wielding gaderffii sticks over their heads, indecipherable grunts and all, they love these theatrics.

Nebraska permitless carry bill fails after filibuster :: 04/13/2022
This has been a pretty great year for Constitutional Carry bills, with legislation signed into law in Indiana, Ohio, Georgia, and Alabama. There’s even a chance that Florida lawmakers will approve a permitless carry bill in its upcoming special session, but despite broad support in the Nebraska legislature, the Cornhusker State will not be joining the ranks of Constitutional Carry states this year. On Tuesday supporters fell two votes short of defeating a filibuster after first attempting to amend the bill to satisfy concerns of politicians and police in the state’s biggest city.

U.S.A. -(AmmoLand.com)- Rising crime rates continue to remind Americans that they are their own first responder when it comes to their personal safety.

PA in crosshairs over firearm background check delays :: 04/12/2022
I’ve always been fascinated by how we still have so-called “point of contact” states here in the US. The point of contact states have to do with when the NICS provisions of the Brady (aka Handgun Control Inc) Bill came into effect. States were able to maintain systems they may have had in place and or use their own systems to act as a liaison between the FBI and a respective FFL. In 2022, these types of systems are antiquated, redundant, and create more work, as well as issues. Of the 12 point of contact states, Pennsylvania is one of the surprising ones on the list, along with Florida, Tennessee, and Virginia. We expect states like Hawaii, California, New Jersey, etc. to be overly control freakish on this topic, but Pennsylvania? A state founded explicitly with freedom in mind?
