President Biden’s Last-Ditch Gun Control Doozy :: 12/03/2022

IL Dems say they've got the votes for a gun ban :: 12/02/2022
And they’re not wasting any time ramming it through the legislature. A sweeping gun control bill that would not only ban the sale of so-called assault weapons and require the registration of all legally-owned modern sporting rifles but would block most adults under the age of 21 from accessing their Second Amendment rights could get its first hearing in just a few days, and backers are hoping to get it to Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s desk in January.

HuffPo upset "right-wing" folks still making "ghost guns" :: 12/01/2022

United States – -(AmmoLand.com)- Second Amendment supporters have long fought political, legislative, and legal battles to protect our freedoms. However, the cultural and financial/economic arenas are new battlegrounds where our rights are being targeted, and Second Amendment supporters are playing a great deal of catch-up in these areas.
Anti-gunners freak over Elon Musk's fake guns :: 11/30/2022
New Twitter owner Elon Musk is an interesting sort. He actually seems to believe in people’s rights, for one thing and is more than willing to allow people the latitude to say what they want on what is now his platform.
How the Orwellian Term “Gun Violence” is used to Push Citizen Disarmament :: 11/30/2022
U.S.A. –-(AmmoLand.com)- The term “gun violence” has been deliberately inculcated into the public debate over the last 20 years. It is common in news articles. It has been used in numerous court briefs. It appears in court decisions at the appellate level and in amicus briefs to the Supreme Court.

Clyburn equates legal gun buys to evils of slavery in bizarre gun control rant :: 11/29/2022
There’s a lot of competition for the dumbest thing Democrats have said about guns over the past couple of days; from Joe Biden’s declaration that “allowing” the sale of semi-automatic firearms (the most commonly-purchased style of firearm in the country) is “sick” to Sen. Chris Murphy’s assertion that maybe police departments should be defunded if they don’t fully enforce every state-and-federal gun control law on the books (something we’ll be discussing in greater detail on today’s Bearing Arms’ Cam & Co).
Is Biden Going Full Beto-Swalwell on Gun Control? :: 11/29/2022

Memphis lawmakers want exemption from Constitutional Carry :: 11/29/2022
Shelby County is a speck of blue in ruby-red Tennessee; one of just four counties to vote for Democratic gubernatorial candidate Jason Martin, who managed to pull in 33% of the vote statewide, but won Shelby County 54.2% – 43.2% over incumbent Bill Lee. Memphis-area lawmakers know they have no chance of enacting any new gun control legislation in the Republican-dominated statehouse, but they’re hoping that the GOP will throw them a bone when the 2023 session gets underway by exempting the county from the state’s permitless carry law.
Portland's crime woes won't be solved by Measure 114 :: 11/29/2022
Portland residents recently provided the winning margin for Measure 114, a gun control measure that would impose a ban on “large capacity” magazines and establish a permit-to-purchase system that all legal gun owners would have to go through in order to exercise their right to simply keep a gun in their home. The city’s progressive politics was undoubtably the major factor in the 75% approval that Measure 114 received in Multnomah County, but the crime spike in Portland also likely played a role. Both violent and property crime have gotten worse over the past couple of years, and it doesn’t surprise me that some naive residents would cling to the comforting premise that adding a couple of new, non-violent possessory offenses to the books will stop the bleeding in the city.
The Surprising Fact About Minneapolis' Sky-High Homicide Rate :: 11/29/2022
Last year, as riots, looting, and anarchy erupted on the streets of Minneapolis in the aftermath of George Floyd’s death at the hands of Minneapolis police, the city saw its homicide rate skyrocket from 48 murders in 2019 to 84 last year. Things haven’t improved in Minneapolis this year, and the city could end up seeing the most murders in its history, surpassing the 97 homicides recorded in 1995. There’ve been at least 67 homicides in the city in 2021, but as PBS and the Star-Tribune newspaper report, the crime is concentrated in just a handful of the city’s neighborhoods.
