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.
Crackdown On Switches And Suppressors From China
From The Truth About Guns:
U.S. authorities announced on September 11 that they had seized 355 websites used to sell suppressors and conversion kits, known as “switches,” which are used to convert semi-automatic handguns into machine guns. The suppressors, reportedly being imported into the country from China, are highly regulated in the United States under the National Firearms Act, while the switches alone are considered illegal under most circumstances as the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) considers them machine guns regardless of whether they are installed on an actual firearm or not.
The Trace Uses Assassination Attempt To Attack Supreme Court Gun Rights Decision
From The Truth About Guns:
In its latest Bruen-bashing editorial, hot on the heels of its latest series about the decision, The Trace tries to make readers think that Ryan Routh, the Democrat donor and latest attempted Trump assassin, will likely walk free because of the Supreme Court ruling.
“Supreme Court Ruling Threatens Gun Charges Filed in Trump’s Alleged Assassination Attempt,” the headline reads. First let’s set the “Alleged” part aside. There was an assassination attempt, no “Alleged” to it. The man arrested is the “alleged” would-be assassin, but I don’t believe any thinking person really believes there wasn’t an attempt on Trump’s life.
Chatbots Full Of Anti-Gun Bias
From Bearing Arms:
The CPRC study examined 15 popular AI chatbots, including ChatGPT and Elon Musk’s Grok 2 (Fun Mode), analyzing their responses to a series of questions about crime and gun control. The research highlighted a disturbing shift: almost all chatbots demonstrated liberal views, particularly when it came to gun control issues. This finding is alarming for those who value a balanced perspective, as the chatbots’ influence continues to grow across media and educational platforms.
An Argument For National Gun Reciprocity
From The Truth About Guns:
Two New Hampshire men charged in separate incidents with unlawful possession of a gun have challenged Massachusetts firearm law. Dean Donnell Jr. and Phillip Marquis are both legal gun owners and residents of New Hampshire, a state that issues carry permits for purposes of reciprocity but otherwise observes constitutional carry, meaning that no license is necessary to open or conceal carry within the state. Attorneys for the men argue that Massachusetts felony charges, under the state’s strict firearm laws, are a violation of their Constitutional rights.
“Massachusetts can’t be less protective than the Second Amendment,” argued Hayne Barnwell attorney for Phillip Marquis.
Feds Still Attacking 3D Printed Gun Parts
From Ammoland:
Earlier this month, the government held an event hosted by ATF Director Steve Dettelbach and U.S. Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco. The government invited federal law enforcement, members of the 3D-printing industry, and academia to the conference in Washington, DC. The goal was to pressure the industry to stem the tide of 3D-printed gun parts.
Should We Name Mass Shooters, Or Not?
From Ammoland:
By NOT identifying the mutant, we are dependent on what ‘officials’ and their approved media megaphones tell us, cutting off independents from doing their own fact checks. If anything, I’d like to see the perps’ social media sites and everything about them left up so we can see for ourselves the mindset they had and from what ideologies they sprang, instead of what we see happening with increasing frequency – those accounts are taken down before the names of the killers are even released.”
Congressman Massie Introduces National Constitutional Carry
From Ammoland:
The National Constitutional Carry Act (HR 9534) would remove permitting requirements for Americans to carry firearms nationwide. Most US states do not have permitting requirements to carry a gun. The bill will also remove the states’ and territories’ ability to prevent Americans who are not a prohibited person from carrying guns in public. Any regulations passed by the states to restrict one’s ability to carry a firearm would not have the force of law. Rep. Massie believes that an American shouldn’t have to seek a permission slip from the government to exercise an inalienable right.
