New York’s clearly unconstitutional post-Bruen gun control temper tantrum took another hit earlier this week. US District Court Judge Glenn Suddaby issued an injunction blocking major portions of the law including the subjective “good moral character” requirement, the mandate that applicants provide the names and contact information of other adults in the home, and the requirement for social media […]

Colorado’s two contenders for the U.S. Senate faced off in a second debate that included Democratic Sen. Michael Bennett and Republican challenger Joe O’Dea answering questions from moderators about gun rights and gun control. The first debate didn’t address issues pertinent to the firearm and ammunition industry or Second Amendment rights. This second debate showed their […]

You have the right to use deadly force when faced with an imminent, credible threat of death or grievous bodily harm. This applies even in anti-gun, anti-self-defense jurisdictions with Soros-funded prosecutors (i.e. Houston, Los Angles, Chicago, Dallas, New York, St. Louis, Austin, Philadelphia, Albuquerque, San Antonio….). Sadly, armed self-defenders often make dumb mistakes in the […]

A new hire doesn’t exactly fit the mold of a CNN employee. The left-wing outlet has hired Stephen Gutowski, a firearms analyst who operates the gun policy website The Reload. Gutowski offers what he describes as “sober, serious” reporting on gun culture and firearm ownership in America. The firearms analyst is critical of how the establishment […]

“Gun manufacturers are very determined to flout the spirit of these laws, and they can do that because the laws are too technologically specific,” said Lindsay Nichols, federal policy director for the Giffords Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence. “We need legislation that is broadly written so that it’s harder to circumvent. State legislators are scared to […]

A New York gun control law that prohibits firearms in Times Square, Yankee Stadium, the subway, and other sensitive places is on the shaky legal ground after a judge found these provisions violate the Second Amendment, though the ruling is paused while the case is appealed. The ongoing court battle over New York’s gun control measure […]

Another shoe has dropped. In United States v. Price, a district court in West Virginia considered whether bans on firearm possession by felons and possession of firearms with obliterated serial numbers were constitutional. While finding that the law barring convicted felons from possessing guns was justified under Bruen, the court found that the laws against removing the serial number […]

First, denying cert in a case is not a ruling on the merits of that case. The decision not to take a case is not an explicit endorsement of a lower court’s ruling. … Second, there is good reason in this instance why the Supreme Court may want to take a wait-and-see approach to how the law in […]

The Bruen ruling, when laying out the historical prong of the test, said it was up to the government that was defending a gun law to prove the restriction had a parallel in the past. This shift in burden has put gun rights groups at a greater advantage in court. It has also changed the type of […]

What better way to let every criminal know everyone is unarmed? In the pantheon of stupid ideas, letting the world know that there are no citizens legally carrying guns might go right on the Mt Rushmore of stupid ideas. The same goes for the “gun-free home” light bulbs people have been using recently. If I […]
