Republicans in the Colorado Senate have introduced a bill to repeal the limits placed on magazine capacity in 2013. Here is the summary of SB18-052:
The bill repeals statutory provisions:
Progressive infatuation with gun control and population disarmament stems from their foundational premises about the nature of reality. Progressivism was born out of the end of the frontier and of frustrations with the restraints of the Constitution. Politicians wanted more power than the Constitution allowed.
The Supreme Court refused to grant a writ of certiorari in the appeal of Maryland’s ban on certain semi-automatic rifles and magazines that hold more than 10 rounds. The ban includes non-detachable magazines, but exempts rimfire firearms. The State Police list 200 firearms manufacturers with numerous models that are banned by the law, including some of the most popular rifles in the United States.
The FBI’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) is supposedly an instant background check for people trying to purchase firearms and the information is supposed to be deleted upon an successful check.
The Boston Globe recent ran an article where it acknowledged the obvious: the long term goal of the gun control movement (recently relabeled as “gun safety”), is to confiscate a large number of Americans’ firearms. The Globe has almost everything else wrong in its article, but they are honest about the desire for gun confiscation.
On 24 October, 2017, Governor Andrew Cuomo vetoed bill A. 5667A, a reform of New York State’s antiquated and misused gravity knife law. The law has been popular with almost everyone in the state but the Governor and those who are profiting off of the suffering caused by the misapplication of current law.
The 9th Circuit does not think the 2nd Amendment protects the commerce of firearms. This is one of the most blatant judicial activist gun control grabs I have seen in a while. I shouldn’t be surprised that it comes from California, the state that banned lead ammunition.
It strains credulity that anyone but the most naive or ignorant person can believe that gun control in general and gun registration in particular is anything but a scheme by the government to allow them to come and confiscate your guns. This is even more evident when the threat of a hurricane is being exploited in order to enact said gun confiscation.
Operation Choke Point was an extra-legal attempt by the Obama administration to economically attack businesses that it disliked. It circumvented the rule of law by giving banks incentive to discriminate against a list of businesses.
Is there such a surplus of qualified and loving foster parents in the country that we can just toss out blood relatives because they in an “inconvenient” thing like freedom and liberty?
What exactly were prohibited weapons under Australian law? The list of prohibited weapons is extensive and, from an American perspective, bizarre.
The Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the ban on so called “Assault Weapons” (commonly owned semi-automatic rifles) and on standard capacity magazines that hold over 10 rounds of ammunition. The petitioners in that case, Stephen V. Kolbe v. Lawrence J. Hogan, JR., have decided to appeal the decision to the U.S. Supreme Court.
One of my hosts in Australia gave me a lead for a story. They knew someone with an extensive gun collection. Directions were given; the collector had been called and was waiting. A local who was known to the collector would drive me there and make introductions.
Australia has very strict gun laws. Some would say they are more restrictive than most of the rest of the world. For example, toy guns that look like a real gun have the same penalties attached, and the same restrictions applied, as real guns.
Arizona is one of the most gun friendly states in America. A Constitutional carry state freely allowing open carry with no registration scheme in place. So it was with surprise that I learned of the following story in which 8 foreign students from China who were truly enjoying the freedom here in America that would get them executed back in China were jammed up and had their firearms confiscated for apparently getting the wrong type of hunting license.
A California family has finally had their illegally seized firearms and ammunition returned after over a year in the courts. The collection has an estimated value of over 1 million dollars.
Which are the worst three states for exercising your right to keep and bear arms? There are several contenders for that dubious distinction. The worst states can be found with the answers to a couple of questions.
A legislative committee on Monday effectively killed a bill to expand background checks for gun purchases — an issue that drew large crowds to the Capitol as well as big campaign contributions and intense lobbying and advertising.
