D.C. Police Investigating NBC News’s Gregory
From Rueters:
Gregory held up what appeared to be a 30-round gun magazine – which would be barred under Washington municipal code – while hosting the nationally broadcast interview with National Rifle Association Chief Executive Officer Wayne LaPierre.
Court Strikes Down Illinois’s Concealed Carry Law
From Chicago-Sun Times:
In a huge win for gun-rights groups, a divided federal appeals court in Chicago Tuesday tossed the state’s ban on carrying concealed weapons and gave Illinois’ Legislature 180 days to craft a law legalizing concealed carry.
California Tries to Ban More Guns
Posted by Brian in Law, News, Threat Watch on 21/Aug/2012 08:24
From NRA-ILA:
Senate Bill 249, as amended, would make a small but profound change to the definition in state law of what constitutes a detachable magazine for a semi-automatic firearm. By doing so, as many as one million semi-automatic rifles (with a “bullet button†or other magazine locking device), which were legally sold in California over the last twelve years, would become illegal on July 1, 2013. If you’re one of the hundreds-of-thousands of Californians who purchased one of these modern sporting rifles (a centerfire semi-automatic rifle with a magazine locking device that prevents detachment of the magazine without a bullet or tool) since 2000, your firearm will have to be surrendered or may be confiscated.

NRA-ILA on the UN Arms Treaty
Posted by Brian in News, Threat Watch on 13/Jul/2012 13:48
From the NRA:
“As we reported last week, for nearly 20 years, the NRA has fought tirelessly to oppose any United Nations effort to undermine the constitutional rights of law-abiding American gun owners. Â That fight has grown more intense lately, as the U.N. and global gun banners have markedly stepped up their attack on our Second Amendment freedoms by including civilian arms in the proposed Arms Trade Treaty. “

States Introduce Bills Requiring No Permit For CCW
From USA Today:
States that have been or are considering bills in current legislative sessions include Colorado, Iowa, Georgia, Kentucky, Maine, New Hampshire, Ohio, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota and Virgina, according to the NRA.
South Dakota could be the fifth state to join the ranks of permit-less carry states. Lawmakers last week passed a measure allowing anyone 18 and older with a valid state driver’s license to carry a concealed weapon, as long as they don’t have a background that would otherwise prohibit them from getting a permit. The bill awaits action from Republican Gov. Dennis Daugaard.
Virginia To Allow Multiple Gun Purchases Per Month
From NRA-ILA:
Today, the Virginia Senate passed Senate Bill 323 by a 21 to 19 vote. SB 323 would repeal the archaic prohibition of purchasing more than one handgun per month.
Racist Roots of Gun Control
Over at Reason.com Thadeus Russell has a review of Gunfight: The Battle Over the Right to Bear Arms in America.
Here is an excerpt from his review:
At the heart of his narrative, Winkler convincingly argues that the people who began the movement against gun control operated not out of the National Rifle Association’s national headquarters in Washington, D.C., but out of a nondescript two-story brick building three blocks from where I sat staring at that pistol: 3106 Shattuck Avenue, in the heart of radical Berkeley. It was there, in 1967, at the headquarters of the Black Panther Party, that Huey Newton and Bobby Seale planned an armed march into the California State Capitol that “launched the modern gun-rights movement.â€

NRA: “No New Gun Laws”
The NRA has finally spoken out about the proposal of new gun laws after the shooting in Tucson. From The Washington Times:
But the group has begun to push back at congressional proposals to tighten gun laws, warning lawmakers not to chip away at gun rights.”Even while our country was respecting the heartache of the people of Tucson and waiting for the full facts of the case, anti-gun activists were renewing their push for more gun control laws,” said Chris W. Cox, executive director of the NRA Institute for Legislative Action, in a Wednesday letter to members of Congress.
