Texas Sheriff Issues Statement in Wake of Shooting
From Breitbart:
With the recent tragedy in Florida, I wanted to make clear my policy on responding to an active shooter. All commissioned Deputies, if you respond to an active shooter you are expected to take immediate action. We do not stage and wait for SWAT, we do not take cover in a parking lot, and we do not wait for another agency. We go in and do our duty. We go in to engage and stop the shooter and save lives.
Are Age Limits For Guns Constitutional?
From The Washington Examiner:
Some federal courts have dealt with a different firearm age limit, upholding the 21-year-old age requirement for handgun sales by licensed dealers. That rule passed Congress in the Gun Control Act of 1968, long before the AR-15 became one of the nation’s most popular guns, and doesn’t ban young-adult handgun possession.
Michael Connelly, executive director of the U.S. Justice Foundation, a public interest law firm that supports gun-rights advocates, said, “I think an effort to ban people between 18 and 21 from purchasing AR-15s would be vulnerable to a Second Amendment challenge, particularly in light of the current makeup of the Supreme Court.”
Armed Law Enforcement Agent Asked To Leave Outback Steakhouse
From NRA-ILA:
I was approached by the manager and asked if I would put my gun in my truck. I let her know that I couldn’t because I was in uniform. She then went and made a call and came back and we were asked to leave because Outback is a gun free zone.
In an update to his initial post, Ward noted that he was asked to leave after Outback management bent to the will of an unhinged customer. According to Ward, “There was another customer who was ‘scared for her life’… because ‘police are shooting people.’†Ward explained that “the customer went on to demand to be escorted to her vehicle out of fear of being shot.â€
National Concealed Reciprocity In The Senate
From NRA-ILA:
The Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act has already passed the House with a bipartisan majority. Your NRA is now laying the groundwork for success in the Senate. We’re ensuring every Senate office knows where we stand on this landmark legislation for gun owners.
“Bump Fire” Doesn’t Require A Bump Stock

Government Unable To Purchase Illegal Firearms Online
From IJR:
Our covert testing involving GAO agents attempting to purchase firearms illegally on the Surface Web were unsuccessful. Specifically, private sellers on Surface Web gun forums and in classified ads were unwilling to sell a firearm to our agents that self-identified as being prohibited from possessing a firearm.
New NICS Law Could Be Opening For More Gun Control
From Townhall.com:
“Enforce the law” has been a mantra for squish Republicans. Â So, you may ask, what’s wrong with making sure every single eligible name reaches NICS?
The answer is that the “dirty little secret” of NICS is that the prohibited persons law (18 U.S.C. 922(g)) and its interpretation under a 2007 law and its regulations are so perverse that, if actually enforced to the letter, they would ban guns from millions of additional law-abiding Americans.
If this doesn’t bother you, how about 18 U.S.C. 922(g)(3)’s ban on marijuana smokers? Â Under Cornyn-Schumer, states would be required to turn over to the FBI medical marijuana lists, and lists of persons in diversion and medical treatment programs. Â Incidentally, the FBI still regards all of these people as federal felons.
Or what about the roughly 13% of all Brady Law denials occurring under 18 U.S.C. 922(g)(2) — a scary “fugitive” category which normally means that the person had an unpaid traffic ticket while on vacation? Â This is actually happening now, and is a major issue. Â Are we going to turn in the names of all “renegade parkers” who haven’t paid their fines?
No Right To Sell Guns?
From Guns.com:
The U.S. 9th Circuit on Tuesday upheld an Alameda County law barring gun stores within 500 feet of residential properties in a blow to gun rights advocates.
The court held that local governments could regulate the sale of firearms so long as would-be buyers were still able to purchase them somewhere in the area and that the Second Amendment does not protect the ability to engage in gun sales.
The obvious question now is: Do you have a constitutional right to sell books?
The Correlation Between Democrats and Disarmament
From Slow Facts:
The carry rate varies from a high of about 15 percent down to zero in some states.  The number of us who will get our permit is determined by the issuing scheme and the costs.  These factors explain how many, but they don’t explain why.
The answer is politics. Â Some states have Democrats as their governor, attorney general, and in control of their legislatures. Â Others have Republicans in those positions. Â The degree of Democrat control is strongly linked to the decline in carry permits. Â Look at the next figure. Â All the states in the upper left corner are Republican controlled while all the states in the lower right corner are all Democrat controlled.
L.A.’s Ban on Tiny Pistols To Be Repealed
From LA Times:
For more than a decade and a half, Los Angeles has banned the sale of “ultracompact†guns, which lawmakers feared could be more easily hidden by criminals.
Now the city is poised to eliminate that rule in the face of legal warnings from the National Rifle Assn. and the California Rifle & Pistol Assn., which say that the city restrictions have been preempted by state law.
Gun Control’s Racist Roots
From The Hill:
One month after the Confederate surrender in 1865, Frederick Douglass urged federal action to stop state and local infringement of the right to arms. Until this was accomplished, Douglass argued, “the work of the abolitionists is not finished.â€
Kansas Senator Samuel Pomeroy extolled the three “indispensable†“safeguards of liberty under our form of government,” the sanctity of the home, the right to vote, and “the right to bear arms.†So “if the cabin door of the freedman is broken open and the intruder enter…then should a well-loaded musket be in the hand of the occupant to send the polluted wretch to another world.â€
Canadian Man Charged After Defending Self From Home Invaders
From The Chronicle Herald:
The two in the home seized a firearm from one of the suspects and several shots were fired as the suspects fled. Police later located one of the suspects, who had non-life-threatening gunshot wounds.
Munroe faces charges of attempted murder, intent to discharge a firearm, intent to discharge a firearm when being reckless, careless use of a firearm, improper storage of a firearm, pointing a firearm, possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose, unauthorized possession of a firearm, possession of a firearm knowing that possession is unauthorized, and possession for the purpose of trafficking.
Border Patrol Sees Significant Drop In Crossings
From Zero Hedge:
A sharp dropoff in the number of illegal border crossers coming into the United States from Mexico is “nothing short of miraculous,” National Border Patrol Council President Brandon Judd told C-SPAN on Monday.
As far as the Trump administration’s efforts on immigration, this is something they campaigned heavily on.
We have never seen such a drop that we currently have.
There’s a vibe, there’s an energy in the Border Patrol that’s never been there before in 20 years that I’ve been in the patrol.  –Brandon Judd
Judd went on to say that Trump’s two Executive Orders instructing border agents to fully carry out laws is in sharp contrast to the Obama administration, which kept agents from performing their sworn duties.
The Washington Examiner reports a 53% decrease in apprehensions at the Southwest border compared to last year - a 6 year low.
Gun Sale Spikes After Shootings
From CNN:
The demand for guns jumped in Newtown after the shooting. Assault rifles began selling out across the country amid fears of tighter gun control legislation. Similar spikes in gun sales followed tragedies in Orlando and San Bernardino, and stock in gun companies surged. Now, research in California suggests that the closer people are to a mass tragedy, the greater the impact on gun sales.
Texas Cutting CHL/LTC Fees
From Guns.com:
The House on Tuesday tentatively approved in an 111-30 vote SB 16, which would drop permit fees from $140 to $40 on first-time applications and renewals from $70 to $40, setting the measure up for a third and final reading in the chamber. A legislative priority for Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, Texas has some of the highest handgun license costs in the country.
