Reciprocity Now
From The Federalist:
While predicting Supreme Court decisions can be a fool’s errand, given the Supreme Court’s precedents it would appear likely the days of New York and a minority of states requiring citizens to prove “good cause†or a “need†to exercise their Second Amendment right to carry a firearm on their person for self-protection are numbered. Should the Supreme Court strike down these “may issue†requirements, then all states will be “shall issue.â€
That’s where the Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act (H.R. 38/S. 1522), introduced by U.S. Rep. Richard Hudson, R-N.C., in the House of Representatives and by Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, in the U.S. Senate makes all the sense in the world. If all states are required to adhere to a “shall issue†policy, it only makes sense to treat concealed carry permits the same way individuals states treat driver’s licenses.
Illinois FOID Challenged As Unconstitutional
From Chicago-Sun Times:
For more than half a century, anyone in Illinois who wanted to own a gun needed to first apply for a special state identification card.
But now the state’s top court is being asked to decide whether the Firearm Owner’s Identification cards — popularly called FOID cards — are a necessary safeguard or a violation of the U.S. Constitution.
Last week, a downstate judge ruled the FOID card system was unconstitutional, reducing residents’ Second Amendment rights to bear arms to a “façade.â€
Supreme Court Refuses Bump Stock Case
From Associated Press:
The high court on Monday turned away a challenge to the ban, which took effect in October 2018. A lower court had dismissed the challenge at an early stage and that decision had been upheld by an appeals court. As is typical, the court didn’t comment in declining to take the case.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Oregon Proposes Draconian Gun Storage Law
From AP:
Oregon’s bill mandates that gun owners secure unattended weapons with trigger locks or in locked compartments. Those who don’t would be strictly liable for any injuries or property damage. If a minor gets ahold of an unsecured firearm, the gun’s owner would face a maximum $2,000 fine.
Nevada Op-Ed On The Racist History Of Gun Laws
From The Nevada Independent:
The last several years of racial and cultural tension have had a predictable effect on firearm ownership that is certain to complicate progressives’ political calculus regarding gun control: More Americans are buying more firearms than ever, and minorities are increasingly joining the ranks of first-time gun buyers.
The explosion of firearm ownership among Black Americans, especially, is something that would make some of the civil rights activists of decades-past beam with pride—and, with good reason: Historically, gun control has negatively affected disadvantaged communities to a greater extent than white middle-America, and gun rights were once integral to the expansion of civil rights.
Biden Says Bill Of Rights Are Not Absolute
From National Review:
There are already tens of thousands of laws governing individual gun ownership in the United States. There are more laws restricting this guaranteed individual right than any other in the Constitution. The notion that gun ownership is “absolute†— or anything in the proximity of absolute – is preposterous beyond words. Imagine your freedom of speech being contingent on an FBI background check? (Though maybe we shouldn’t give progressives any ideas.)
Biden Gets “Mostly False” Rating From Politifact
From HotAir:
PolitiFact focuses only on one of those falsehoods — the hoary “gun show loophole†that never existed in the first place. Democratic politicians have tried making the same claim for years if not decades, but it’s a flat-out lie:
“These bills, one, require background checks for anyone purchasing a gun at a gun show or an online sale,†Biden said at the April 8 event. “Most people don’t know it, you walk into a store and you buy a gun, you have a background check. But you go to a gun show, you can buy whatever you want, and no background check.â€
When it comes to background checks for gun purchases, what matters is who sells the guns, not where the guns are sold — and when a federally licensed seller is a vendor at a gun show, they have to run a background check just as they would if they were back at a bricks-and-mortar gun store.
Gun Bans Are The Goal
From Ammoland:
That admitting these are but “initial actions,†and that there’s plenty more citizen disarmament waiting in the wings confirms what alert gun owners have known since Sen. Thomas Dodd, author of the Gun Control Act of 1968, publicly wished for “abolishing all guns†and to “destroy them all,†and since Brady Campaign predecessor Handgun Control Inc.’s Nelson “Pete†Shields revealed in 1976 the plot to “take one step at a time [to] make possession of all handguns … totally illegal.â€
Dems Continue Assault On Guns With Online Ammo Bill
From Guns.com:
First, it would institute a program to require ammo dealers to obtain a license to sell their products to consumers. Current federal law only requires a license for those engaged in importing or manufacturing ammunition, not to sell, purchase, or possess. This would inevitably have the effect of trimming the number of legal vendors to the marketplace.
Next, Coleman’s bill would require face-to-face transfers of ammunition from licensed dealers to consumers, which is a departure from the common practice today of gun owners searching for deals through online sites such as Guns.com to fill their ammo needs. This would be further enhanced by a ban on shipping ammo to anyone without a license.
Congress Wants AR/AK Pistols As NFA Items
From Guns.com:
Describing them as “concealable assault-style rifles,” a group of Democrats in Congress called on President Biden Wednesday to regulate semi-auto rifle-caliber pistols under the National Firearms Act.
In a letter penned by Democrat U.S. Reps. Val B. Demings (FL-10), Joe Neguse (CO-02), Ed Perlmutter and Mike Thompson (CA-05), then signed by roughly half their caucus, contends that AR- and AK-style pistols should be covered under the NFA, a move that would require $200 tax stamps, registration, and layers of ATF red tape.
