Gun Advocates Need To Support Culture and Entertainment That Is Pro Gun
From Bearing Arms:
About a year and a half ago, I reviewed a graphic novel here at Bearing Arms. It’s not something we normally do because, well, we’re a gun and Second Amendment site. Why would we be reviewing glorified comic books?
But Black Tide Rising was and is a little different. Based on a series of novels by John Ringo, it was an interesting case of a story of survival during the zombie apocalypse outbreak being written by someone who actually thinks your right to keep and bear arms is valid and incredibly useful for such an occasion.
It was only the first volume of a series of graphic novels that didn’t even fully cover the first book. Now, a crowdfunding campaign has kicked off to bring about volume 2.
ARs Becoming Popular With Hunters
From The Truth About Guns:
Hunting with AR-style rifles, also known by some as Modern Sporting Rifles (MSRs) and others simply as ARs, has seen a remarkable increase in use in the field by sportsman over the past decade. This is according to recent research from the Outdoor Stewards of Conservation Foundation (OSCF). A survey conducted by Responsive Management for OSCF found 41 percent of hunters now use AR-style rifles for hunting, up from 25 percent in 2014.
Citizens Sue State Fair of Texas With Texas AG
From The Truth About Guns:
On October 29, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and three fairgoers challenged the policy with an updated lawsuit against the State Fair of Texas and the city of Dallas. New plaintiffs Maxx Juusola, Tracy Martin and Alan Crider joined the lawsuit, State of Texas v. City of Dallas, claiming the ban violated a state law that restricts most government bodies from prohibiting weapons on their properties.
The Importance Of Armed and Organized Citizens
From Ammoland:
In fact, militias were used as late as the War with Spain in Cuba and the Philippines. Roosevelt’s Rough Riders were a volunteer militia that was formed in part by Theodore Roosevelt. A standing army had been around for many years; however, militias were still very important to the security of the United States.
Mass. Gun Law Ruled Unconstitutional
From Bearing Arms:
… a municipal court judge in Boston recently ruled that an applicant for a license to carry was wrongly denied based on “suitability” concerns. A Boston man named Jordan Lebedevitch sought an LTC (which is required to both own and carry a handgun and some long guns in Massachusetts) as part of his job working in security, but Boston Police Commissioner Michael Cox and the Boston police rejected Lebedevitch’s application based on a 2023 police report in which his then-wife told officers that he had threatened to kill himself.
The Battle Of Agincourt And The Origin Of An Armed Populace
From Don Shift:
The French expected an easy win but underestimated the English, especially their devastating longbows. The English longbow was a game-changer, capable of penetrating armor and hitting targets hundreds of yards away. English archers held off the French cavalry and thinned out French infantry from a distance before they even reached the English lines.
Gunman Stops Vehicular Homicide
From The Truth About Guns:
According to the San Antonio Police Department’s (SAPD) preliminary investigation, the so-called victim was reportedly causing a disturbance in the parking lot of an after-hours club, with witnesses saying he threatened to shoot others and attempted to run over people with his vehicle. In response, a man, described as being in his early 30s, pulled out a firearm and shot the man in the car in self-defense and defense of others—both legal defensive claims in the state of Texas.
Hawaii and Michigan Create Stasi-like Tip Line
From Guns.com:
In Hawaii on Thursday, Gov. Josh Green (D) announced the state Department of Law Enforcement has established a confidential “Gun Tip Line for people to make anonymous reports of illegal gun ownership and gun crimes.” Tipsters seeking to “drop a dime” can do so either via a call or text to a phone number or via the DLE’s website. Further, there is a downloadable app where tipsters can go so far as to submit photographs and videos to back up their report.
Meanwhile, in Michigan, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) signed House Bill 5503 this week. The measure, an education funding bill, allocated $1 million in School Aid Funding to support a tip line for students to anonymously report “improperly stored firearms.”
The bill also mandates the state’s Department of Education will develop educational materials related to improperly stored firearms, including the use of the tip line to report them, and distribute the materials to school districts statewide.
Why You Should Be Armed When You Vote
From Bearing Arms:
An Afghan national allowed into the US shortly after the Harris-Biden administration’s chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan was charged Tuesday with plotting an ISIS-inspired Election Day terror attack.
Nasir Ahmad Tawhedi, 27, was living in Oklahoma City on a Special Immigrant Visa as he took steps to stockpile AK-47 rifles and ammunition to carry out an attack on US soil “in the name of ISIS,” according to the Justice Department.
Media Admits Washington Gun Law Not Working
From Bearing Arms:
Washington ranks ninth in the country for gun-law strength, according to Everytown for Gun Safety this year, making it one of the strictest states. The Legislature passed a law earlier this year which requires gun owners to report stolen firearms to law enforcement within 24 hours or face a fine of up to $1,000.
Yet despite Washington’s relatively strict gun laws, children are still obtaining guns.
Florida City Council Members May Have To Pay Fines For Enacting Gun Restrictions
From Ammoland:
The five-member Okeechobee, Florida city council and Police Chief Donald Hagan may each be forced to pay $5,000 personally – without using taxpayer dollars – for violating Florida’s powerful preemption statute, which only allows the state legislature to regulate firearms.
As previously reported, the city adopted an illegal ordinance shortly before Hurricane Helene made landfall, which banned the sale of guns and ammunition and prohibited firearm possession in public by anyone other than law enforcement or members of the military.
Florida Will Soon Have Open Carry
From Ammoland:
GOA and Hughes sued State Attorney Thomas Bakkedahl and St Lucie County Sherriff Keith Pearson over the state’s ban on the open carrying of firearms. Florida law bans the practice unless the carrier is engaged in the act of hunting or fishing. All other citizens open carrying a firearm are subject to arrest. Florida is one of the only states in the country not to allow the open carrying of guns. The plaintiffs in the case believe the law is unconstitutional and violates the Second Amendment.
How To Insure Your Firearms
From Guns.com:
Many people assume guns are covered through the personal property clause on their homeowner’s or renter’s policy. You may indeed have some coverage there, but specialty items like guns, jewelry, and collectibles are severely limited. For example, my homeowner’s policy covers only up to $2,500 for loss by theft of firearms. I don’t know about you, but that’s not nearly enough to cover my entire collection.
Depending on the carrier, you can add a rider to your homeowner’s policy, but the coverage remains limited and comes with many exclusions. It is best to purchase a separate policy specifically intended to cover firearms.
Supreme Court To Hear Mexican Gov’t Lawsuit
From Guns.com:
First filed in 2021, the $10 billion suit – supported by no less than a dozen anti-gun states such as Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Illinois – sought to put some of the biggest names in the American gun industry including Barrett, Beretta, Century Arms, Colt, Glock, Ruger, and Smith & Wesson on the hook for the out-of-control narco cartel violence that has plagued Mexico since 2006.
A federal judge tossed the suit in October 2022, citing the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act prevented the claim, but Mexico pushed the issue and appealed to the Massachusetts-based U.S. First Circuit Court, which kept the case alive and handed the issue to a lower court in Boston.
Supreme Court To Take More Gun Cases
From The Truth About Guns:
Among the first issues to be heard is a challenge to the Biden administration’s regulation of “ghost guns” — firearms that can be assembled from parts sold online and are often untraceable due to the absence of serial numbers. On October 8, the court will hear Garland v. VanDerStok, a case that focuses on whether partially assembled firearms sold in kits should be treated as guns under federal law.
