Left Prefers Feelings Over Science On Guns
From The Federalist:
Whenever states have eliminated “proper cause†requirements, gun-control advocates have predicted disaster, with blood-in-the-streets and irresponsible behavior by permit holders. But in state after state, concealed handgun permit holders have proved them wrong by being extremely law-abiding. Indeed, none of the right-to-carry states have even held a legislative hearing, let alone held a vote, to move back to requiring “proper cause.â€
DC: 1,400% Increase In Permits
From Daily Caller:
The number of Washington D.C. concealed carry permit holders skyrocketed a little over 1440 percent since the District lost a key legal battle related to its previous restrictive gun permitting process at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia last year.
The Metropolitan Police Department confirmed to The Daily Caller Tuesday that 1,896 concealed carry permits were issued by MPD for the calendar year to date 2018.
The Correlation Between Democrats and Disarmament
From Slow Facts:
The carry rate varies from a high of about 15 percent down to zero in some states.  The number of us who will get our permit is determined by the issuing scheme and the costs.  These factors explain how many, but they don’t explain why.
The answer is politics. Â Some states have Democrats as their governor, attorney general, and in control of their legislatures. Â Others have Republicans in those positions. Â The degree of Democrat control is strongly linked to the decline in carry permits. Â Look at the next figure. Â All the states in the upper left corner are Republican controlled while all the states in the lower right corner are all Democrat controlled.
California’s “Good Cause” Requirement Struck Down
From Bearing Arms:
The ruling means that California will effectively become “shall issue,†and must issue concealed carry permits to otherwise qualified applicants who had previously been stopped by the unevenly applied “good cause†provisions.
OK Gov. Vetoes “Shall-Issue” NFA Bill
From NRA-ILA:
Authored in the House by state Representative Mike Turner (R-82) and in the Senate by state Senator Nathan Dahm (R-33), HB 2461 would require that a chief law enforcement officer (CLEO) sign an application for the transfer of any item regulated under the National Firearms Act (NFA) within fifteen days if the applicant is not prohibited by law from receiving it.
UPDATE:
House Bill 2461 will go to the state Senate where a two-thirds vote would be required to complete the veto override. The bill initially passed the Senate by a vote of 46-0 on April 22.
Wednesday’s House vote came one day after Fallin vetoed 15 House bills, including this one, while criticizing the House for failing to act on important issues, such as Capitol repairs, while passing flawed bills and bills that are irrelevant to most Oklahomans.
