NY AG concerned of "regulatory chaos" if gun law overturned :: 10/25/2022

Try Not to Laugh: AP's Zeke Miller Knows Why Biden's Approval Rating Is in the Toilet :: 10/25/2022
A new Associated Press "news" story from Zeke Miller might be the most brazen attempt to rehab President Joe Biden's failed image this year as the mainstream media finds itself grasping at paper straws to come up with reasons to speak favorably of the president whose approval remains underwater and is set to cost his party even more seats in an already unfavorable midterm cycle.
CNN's good move on gun coverage :: 10/24/2022
CNN’s hiring of The Reload’s Stephen Gutowski, who’s also today’s guest on Cam & Co, as part of the network’s new Guns in America project is making gun control activists like Shannon Watts meltdown, even though the team will also feature Jennifer Mascia of the Michael Bloomberg-funded gun control news site The Trace as one of Gutowski’s counterparts.

Most Gun Reporting is a Misinformation Campaign :: 10/24/2022
CNN's constant coverage of what it calls "mass shootings" disguises the fact that these are mass murders. The villains they always call shooters are actually murderers. America's 100 million gun owners, they're shooters—decent righteous people practicing, learning, teaching and when needed, defending themselves and others facing violent criminals. Self-defense with guns is absent from CNN but not in real life—a total misinformation and misdirection campaign.
Two charged in Kansas smash-and-grab gun store robberies :: 10/24/2022
We know that criminals don’t just walk into gun stores and plop down money for a firearm, walking out armed. That’s just not how it works and it hasn’t for a very long time at least. Current law forbids those sales and even those who could pass a background check because they just haven’t been caught doing anything still don’t go to the gun store.
Courts Are Foiling Biden's Trivial Attempt To Regulate 'Ghost Guns' :: 10/22/2022
President Joe Biden’s push to change the rules regarding “ghost guns” and put serial numbers on gun parts may be hitting a major roadblock. Relying on the Supreme Court’s Bruen decision in June, a West Virginia federal district court judge ruled on Thursday that it is unconstitutional to ban guns without serial numbers. That is hardly the end of the story, however, as federal judges in Texas and North Dakota seem to have no problem with requiring serial numbers.

Gun bans offer manufacturers golden opportunity :: 10/21/2022
Banning certain categories of guns is tricky. If you just ban, say, AR-15s, then someone will simply rename the rifle and the ban will be meaningless. That’s why a gun ban like the former assault weapon ban focused on features rather than just the weapons by name.

More than a dozen Democratic members of the U.S. Senate have fired off a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland and ATF Director Steve Dettelbach to “encourage” them to issue new guidance to law enforcement regarding the Biden administration’s recently-imposed rules on DIY gun-making kits. According to the anti-gun Senators, led by Richard Blumethal of Connecticut, the rule, which requires kits containing unfinished frames or receivers to be treated as finished firearms (including a serial number and background checks on commercial sales), is supposedly being circumvented by companies exploiting a loophole in the rule.
