NY Targets Gun Makers For Liability
From Politico:
New York lawmakers are mounting an effort to open gun manufacturers and distributors up to civil liability suits.
“It would be the first bill of its kind in the country, and would be incredibly important to reestablish norms of gun industry accountability,†said David Pucino, an attorney at the Giffords Law Center, a national gun control advocacy group.
Texas Law Could Oust Bank of America and Citi From State
From Bloomberg:
The legislation, Senate Bill 19, would block government entities from contracting with banks and other financial services providers that have policies that restrict business with the firearms industry. Under the bill, companies with 10 employees or more seeking a government contract worth at least $100,000 would have to verify in writing that they do not have a policy or directive that “discrimina
Young Americans Are Against Gun Control
From Newsweek:
A new ABC News/Washington Post poll released Tuesday from among more than 1,000 U.S. adults found that Americans overall are less supportive of new gun control legislations than they were just three years ago. People between the ages of 18-29 saw the sharpest decline in backing for new weapons laws, with fewer than half now saying new legislation is needed to reduce the risk of future mass shootings or to block “red flag” buyers.
Supreme Court Takes First Gun Case In Over A Decade
From The Federalist:
On Monday, the Supreme Court agreed to hear an appeal by two petitioners challenging New York’s denial of their applications for concealed-carry firearm licenses. The case, New York State Rifle & Pistol Association, Inc. v. Corlett, represents the first time in more than a decade that the high court will hear a Second Amendment case.
Civil Disobedience And Guns
From Open Source Defense:
The cognitive dissonance comes from the fact that while someone may recognize the social value of civil disobedience, they might not be willing to personally bear the risks of delivering that value. That’s uncomfortable, and potentially even shameful. And as each person in a community navigates that internal discomfort, they each find their own personal risk tolerance threshold. When people with different thresholds try to decide whose threshold is “rightâ€, an argument happens.
Why Gun Control Is Doomed
From 19fortyfive:
Liberals across the country as well as Democratic lawmakers only see the negatives with the increase in firearm ownership. They see more guns used in violent acts, but the fact is that even as gun sales have hit record numbers – showing no signs of slowing down – that crime hasn’t kept pace. Moreover, in the past twenty years as crime has gone down, the number of guns in private hands has gone up.
Gun Policy Is Complicated
From The Cato Institute:
I wish it were that simple, but, like most questions in public policy, it is not. Gun policy is hard, and getting it right—or even starting to get it right—requires calling out the bad arguments from both sides and understanding inevitable tradeâ€â€‹offs and unavoidable facts.
Senator Mike Lee Introduces Bill To Remove Regulations On Suppressors
From Bearing Arms:
Lee said his bill, the Silencers Helping Us Save Hearing Act, would eliminate the “onerous†regulation to make a legal sport safer for millions of Americans. Sens. Ted Cruz, of Texas, and John Cornyn, of Texas, are co-sponsoring the legislation, and Rep. Bob Good, R-Va., introduced a companion bill in the House.
Supreme Court Refuses To Take Another Gun Case
From The Truth About Guns:
The United States Supreme Court announced today that it will not review three cases challenging lifetime bans on gun ownership by people who have committed nonviolent offenses, some as long as four decades ago.
Asian Woman Discusses Gun Rights And Self Defense
From Inquirer:
As a Chinese American woman born to immigrants from Hong Kong, I knew I was an outsider in the small, Upstate New York town where I grew up, but the differences seemed benign. The teasing I endured from classmates didn’t seem racially motivated, just cruel. As an adult, I dropped the foreign parts of my name and lost my native Cantonese language skills, feeling more American with every step. I rarely worried about being Asian. The times I was heckled with racist insults were few and far between. I lived a life free from threats of racist violence.
My gender, small stature, and periods of single life seemed more likely to attract harassment and crime. They were why I learned how to shoot guns, to fight using Brazilian jiu-jitsu, and otherwise defend myself against all of the normal sorts of threats that women worry about. In time, they were why I founded On Her Own, a social media project where I share what I’ve learned about how women can survive and thrive in today’s world.
Texas Democrat Opposes “Wild West Pimp Style” Bill
From The Reload:
This woman has no idea what she is talking about. All she knows is that she hates these inanimate objects.
ALL Tools Of Self Defense Are Covered By The Second Amendment
From Ohio Capital Journal:
Ohioans can now secretly carry knives under a new law that took effect Monday.
Prior law prohibited anyone in the state from carrying a concealed “deadly weapon†other than a handgun. House Bill 140 codifies into the law that knives, razors, or cutting instruments not used as a weapon do not count as a “deadly weapon.â€
Similarly, the new law allows for the manufacturing, sale and possession of brass knuckles, cestuses, billy clubs, blackjacks, sandbags, switchblade knives, springblade knives, gravity knives, and similar weapons.
Gun Writer Starts New Website: The Reload
From The Washingtonian:
That’s why the Washington Free Beacon reporter is putting his livelihood on the line—his last day at the conservative outlet was Friday. As of today, he’s started the Reload, an independent publication based on the Substack model, where people subscribe directly to his reporting. But Gutowski, who’s a certified firearms instructor and who has been one of the best reporters to follow about the NRA’s turmoil, isn’t leaving the Beacon for Substack. He’s built the Reload himself for a couple thousand bucks—his biggest expense was buying the URL—and living on money he saved during the pandemic while he sees whether readers will follow him as he “explains the politics and the guns,†as he says.
Texas House Passes Constitutional Carry Bill
From Texas Tribune:
House Bill 1927, spearheaded by state Rep. Matt Schaefer, R-Tyler, would nix the requirement for Texas residents to obtain a license to carry handguns if they’re not prohibited by state or federal law from possessing a gun. Texans under current state law must generally be licensed to carry handguns, either openly or concealed.
