Gay Community Has Many Reasons To Be Pro Gun
From The Washington Post:
I don’t understand why the LGBTQ community is so hostile toward the Second Amendment. I’d like to ask my fellow gays to take a moment and consider this issue through a different lens. I long for the day when the gay community will galvanize its significant political might and work toward making practical changes that would let gays better protect themselves when laws don’t.
NZ Cop Admits Registration Necessary To Get Guns
From Bearing Arms:
Chris Cahill, with the country’s Police Association, said it’s not clear if this year’s budgeted funding for the buy-back would be adequate because New Zealand (like America) does not have an official gun registry.
“We really have no idea how many of these firearms are out there in New Zealand,†Cahill told the Herald. “Which really points to how bad our firearms legislation has been, that we have let this get out of control.â€
Handgun License Requirement Is Backdoor Registration
From Guns.com:
The legislation, backed by Dems in both the House and Senate, would encourage more states to adopt licensing schemes like Connecticut’s handgun purchasing law, which requires a special renewable permit to purchase any revolver or pistol. Dubbed the Handgun Purchaser Licensing Act, the bill was introduced by U.S. Sen. Chris Van Hollen of Maryland and Senators Richard Blumenthal and Chris Murphy of Connecticut along with U.S. Reps. Jahana Hayes, D-Conn and Jamie Raskin, D-Md.
AR Sales Increase Ahead of Washington Gun Law
From The Truth About Guns:
We’ve talked about Washington’s Initiative 1639 before. It puts a host of new restrictions on gun owners, including requiring a permanent waiver of their HIPAA rights before buying a handgun or semi-automatic rifle.
Ahead of this, Washingtonians are buying up everything they can get their hands on. It will be interesting to watch Washington going forward, as this is in many ways an unprecedented restriction. A number of lawsuits are already winding their way through the courts. This will be worth watching.

NY’s Insane Gun Laws

A 64-year-old Deerfield homeowner was charged with illegal firearm possession and arrested after he used a gun he’d inherited from his deceased father to kill two repeat burglars.

College Suspends Student For Going To Gun Range

Stag Arms Leaving Connecticut
From Guns.com:
After more than 15 years in New Britain Connecticut, AR maker Stag Arms said they are pulling stumps for somewhere with “significant support for the firearms industry.â€
The announcement, posted last Friday, said the move is part of the company’s “strategic initiative to significantly improve the overall customer experience.†While the new location has not been selected, Stag says their Board of Directors has “narrowed down the options to a short list of vibrant communities where there is significant support for the firearms industry.â€
Gun Seller Goes Bankrupt After Betting On Hillary
From Bloomberg:
Firearms distributor United Sporting Cos. loaded up on guns ahead of the 2016 U.S. presidential election, expecting a surge in sales that would likely follow the election of a Democrat. Then Hillary Clinton lost.
The miscalculation sparked a multi-year decline that has reached the courthouse steps in Delaware, where United filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy on Monday.
California Bans Lead Ammo For Hunting
As a reminder to anyone hunting in California this year, the state’s full lead ammunition ban will take effect July 1. California’s lead ammo ban, which was officially signed as a new law in 2013, required the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) to gradually build up to a full prohibition.
Pennsylvania Strengthens 2nd/4th Amendments
From National Review:
Unless a police officer has prior knowledge that a specific individual is not permitted to carry a concealed firearm, and absent articulable facts supporting reasonable suspicion that a firearm is being used or intended to be used in a criminal manner, there simply is no justification for the conclusion that the mere possession of a firearm, where it lawfully may be carried, is alone suggestive of criminal activity.
Trump Considering Suppressor Ban
From Bearing Arms:
President Donald Trump said he’ll “seriously look†at banning gun silencers after last week’s mass shooting in Virginia.
“Well, I’d like to think about it,†Trump said in an interview with Piers Morgan on ITV’s Good Morning Britain. “I’m going to seriously look at it.â€
Gun Shop Leaving Illinois For Indiana

Lost Creek Trading Post in Marshall, Illinois late last month said they had been told by local officials they had until June 17 to apply for a newly-mandated state-issued license and be certified by July 17. The requirements include a $1,500 fee and a host of new training and regulatory guidelines. Rather than try to jump through the hoops, Lost Creek is pulling stumps for a location across the state lines in Indiana.
Biden Promotes Old “Assault Ban” Idea
From NRA-ILA:
This week the campaign website for presidential hopeful Joe Biden published what it called an “Education … Plan for Educators, Students, and Our Future.†Among its agenda items was to “[d]efeat the National Rifle Association†by “championing legislation to ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines – bans [Biden] authored in 1994.†In other words, Biden would reprise a law that was widely recognized (including among gun control advocates) as a failure and the cause of his party losing control of Congress in 1994.
