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.
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.
Missouri’s Gun Sanctuary Law Struck By Federal Court
From The Federalist:
Both the District Court and the Eighth Circuit saw things differently, and by enjoining Missouri’s law, have forced the state to use resources and its employees to enforce federal gun laws. That could include materially supporting the compilation of gun owner records for the ATF’s gun registry, the enforcement of President Joe Biden’s “zero tolerance” policy against Missouri gun dealers, or helping a hypothetical Kamala Harris administration in confiscating AR-15s under a future “assault weapons” ban.
The precedent is clear, the federal government has no authority whatsoever to compel a state to enforce a federal law. So, what’s the difference here? Sadly, all too many federal judges stubbornly believe the Second Amendment is a second-class right. In the case of the recent ruling against SAPA, the Eighth Circuit simply invoked the Constitution’s supremacy clause, and gave the back of its judicial hand to Missouri and every other state that might question the constitutionality of a federal law — at least a federal gun law.
Fifth Circuit Says It’s Unconstitutional To Ban Pot Users From Gun Possession
From Ammoland:
The government tried to use laws from the founding era that disarmed people who felt they were dangerous. One example that was given is the banning of British Loyalists from having firearms. The judges rejected that argument, stating that the ban on marijuana users owning firearms would be more akin to the founders banning people who drank alcohol from owning guns. The judges pointed out that the founders drank copious amounts of alcohol. The judge stated the government may be able to prevent someone who is intoxicated from carrying a firearm. Still, Ms. Connelly was not under the influence of drugs at the time of the arrest and was not a dangerous person.
TX AG Paxton Sues Dallas Over State Fair Gun Ban
From Bearing Arms:
With the fair set to kick off in less than a month, Paxton followed through on his threat on Thursday by suing the city and the state fair in district court. Paxton is asking the court to block the ban through both temporary and permanent injunctions, arguing that while While some portions of Fair Park are “gun-free zones” as established by state statute, the “vast majority of the 277-acre Fair Park in Dallas is not a place where weapons or firearms are prohibited.”
If the fair moves forward with its carry ban, Paxton says lawful gun owners are either subject to arrest, or are going to be forced to comply with an unlawful rule in order to enter the fair.
Court Rules Against Missouri’s Second Amendment Protection Act
From The Truth About Guns:
At the time, Gov. Parson said the unique law “draws a line in the sand and demonstrates our commitment to reject any attempt by the federal government to circumvent the fundamental right Missourians have to keep and bear arms to protect themselves and their property.”
On Monday, however, a three-judge panel of the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals upheld last year’s district court ruling and found that the Missouri law violated the U.S. Constitution’s supremacy clause, which states that federal law takes precedence over state laws.
Federal Judges Says Machine Guns Part Of Second Amendment
From Guns.com:
A U.S. District Court in Kansas agreed with a federal public defender over a set of machine gun charges, tossing them as unconstitutional with the right to keep and bear arms.
Judge John W. Broomes, a 2018 Trump appointee, agreed with a motion from the Federal Public Defender Office in Wichita to dismiss a two-count indictment against a local man for possession of a pair of unregistered Post-86 machine guns, arguing the charges went against the “history and tradition of the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution by imposing a blanket prohibition on machineguns,” and is thus unconstitutional as applied to the defendant.
Hunters Now Blamed For “Gun Violence”
From The Truth About Guns:
In what may be the most poorly conceived and horribly researched study ever published by The Journal of the American Medical Association during its entire 141-year history, a trio of anti-gun researchers now claims deer hunting is associated with a substantial increase in firearm violence.
Maine Gov Goes After FPC For Tweet
From Ammoland:
This response wasn’t the first time that FPC had used colorful language to push back against gun control, but it might be the first time that a Governor’s staff reported the organization to the police for a perceived threatening statement. Thanks to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request by the Maine Wire, we now know the staff contacted Maine State Police’s Executive Protection Unit to investigate the tweet. The Executive Protection Unit is responsible for protecting the Governor, similar to how the United States Secret Service (USSS) is supposed to protect the President and former Presidents of the United States.
