Attorney Colion Noir called out Vice President Kamala Harris for praising Australia's mandatory gun confiscation that was carried out in the 1990s. The Second Amendment advocate told "The Ingraham Angle" that the situation in Maine this week underscored why legal gun ownership is important for Americans. "Nobody needs a firearm, until you do," Noir argued, after a suspected mass shooter eluded police after attacking a bar and bowling alley. |

Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel joined a coalition of 18 other attorneys general in supporting the District of Columbia’s (D.C.) efforts to restrict the capacity of firearms magazines within its borders. The coalition filed an amicus brief yesterday in support of D.C. in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, arguing that the district’s law that prohibits possession and sale of large-capacity magazines comports with the Second Amendment to the US Constitution. |

Statewide politicians tread cautiously on gun issues in the Bluegrass State, where support for gun rights is seen as “almost the third rail of Kentucky politics," said longtime political commentator Al Cross.
During the recent televised debate, Beshear and Cameron declared their support for the Second Amendment. But they disagreed about the need for legislation designed to prevent people who might hurt themselves or others from acquiring firearms — commonly known as “red flag” laws.
Beshear, who is seeking reelection to a second term in the Nov. 7 election, made his case for the law in personal terms, as he did in the days after Elliott's death at Old National Bank in downtown Louisville. |

It's why Stewart Edmiston from Triangle Self-Defense Training in Durham says he's seen more employers and local businesses consulting him asking about active shooting training. The Air Force Veteran who also has Department of Homeland Security active shooter certifications says it boils down to situational awareness.
He said while some people opt for more high-end tools like a tactical flashlight that can be used to break glass or distract someone by shining light in their face, and some concealed carry weapons for protection, he understands most people are unarmed and minding their own business when they find themselves in a situation like we saw in Maine. |

In a decisive move, Maryland Attorney General Anthony G. Brown united with a coalition of 19 Attorneys General, expressing their collective support for the District of Columbia’s efforts to limit the capacity of firearm magazines. The group submitted an amicus brief to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. Their argument is founded on the premise that D.C.’s law, which prohibits the possession and sale of large-capacity magazines, aligns with the Second Amendment, largely because such magazines aren’t frequently employed in self-defense. |

Since Missoula’s bus system reluctantly changed its policy in early October to allow passengers to carry guns, a frequent response from riders has been one of concern, according to the transit agency.
On Oct. 3, Mountain Line announced the change after a pro-gun group, the Montana Shooting Sports Association, threatened to sue the agency for breaking the state law by banning them, according to a press release from the Missoula agency. |

As is the case with most consumer products in the U.S. today, firearms are widely available for sale online. Unlike most items purchased online, however, firearms are generally not shipped directly to your door. Typically, the process requires buyers to have their firearm shipped to a licensed gun store, which will then run a background check before transferring the gun to the customer. Still, as is the case with online shopping in general, the convenience and inventory offered by online retailers is a major draw for consumers. |

On Nov. 7, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in U.S. v. Rahimi.[1] At issue is whether Title 18 of the U.S. Code, Section 922(g)(8), violates the Second Amendment.
Specifically, the court will decide if it is constitutional to prohibit persons subject to domestic violence restraining orders from possessing firearms.
If the Supreme Court rules that this provision is unconstitutional, there will be a weakening of gun laws and, as a result, potentially deadly consequences. |

Lawmakers can save countless lives if they’d only strengthen the state’s firearm laws by barring domestic abusers from owning guns, violence prevention advocates said.
The idea, though, has proven a tough sell in the GOP-controlled Legislature, which in recent years has loosened gun restrictions.
Advocates say more laws controlling gun access are needed to save lives in a state that has seen over 70% of abusers kill their victims with a firearm. According to the most recent report from the Oklahoma Domestic Violence Fatality Review Board, 118 people were killed as the result of domestic violence in 2021. |

Committee Chair Senator Joseph Ceventes says an assault weapons ban including the legal definition of such a weapon, age restrictions, magazine capacity regulations and waiting periods are some of the issues expected to see possible legislation next year at Roundhouse.
He says it’s a good idea to take a long look at what lawmakers are interested in discussing ahead of the 30-day session and the current status of court rulings. |

The dead and injured of Lewiston deserve our attention now. But we must also consider the monetary costs of the shootings: Think of the medical and funeral expenses, additional law enforcement pay and business losses that come because one man wielded a weapon that used to be banned in this country.
With their longtime opposition to reasonable gun control measures such as universal background checks and a ban on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, the National Rifle Assn. and the Republican Party are truly asylums for the morally insane. |

Attorney Kostas Moros is a warrior for the Second Amendment. His work on CCW issuance in California since Bruen (which we lovingly refer to as Club 58) has produced significant and tangible results even in the most anti-2A counties.
In the latest installment of CRPA TV, Kostas stops by to update progress on CCW, as well as to discuss interrelated issues, such as SB 2, on which he’s also working.
How did resistant jurisdictions react in the wake of Bruen, and how have they been forced into compliance? |

A federal agency is waiting for Arkansas to respond to questions about a new state gun law that went into effect in August. The legislation in question would allow Arkansans with a medical marijuana card to get a license for concealed carry.
“We're a state that has medical marijuana. We're also a very pro-gun state, we value our second amendment here in Arkansas,” said State Representative, Aaron Pilkington.
He said that those two reasons are what led to legislation House Bill 1784 now Act 757 to be introduced.
“Essentially, we were saying choose between your medicine and your second amendment rights, which to me was not fair,” said Pilkington. |

The Biden administration hit back Friday on Speaker Mike Johnson’s recent comments that placed blame for mass shootings in the United States on Americans’ “hearts,” calling the remarks “offensive.”
In a statement, White House spokesman Andrew Bates said the administration “absolutely” rejected “the offensive accusation that gun crime is uniquely high in the United States because of Americans’ ‘hearts.’” |

On Oct. 20, Niles police responded to a report of shots fired inside a home in the 9200 block of Woodland Drive around 10:33 a.m.
During a dispute, police say 33-year-old Anthony Walker pulled out a gun and shot the teenager in the upper body. The victim was then able to disarm Walker and shoot him back in self-defense. Walker was struck in the torso.
Only one gun was involved in this incident, police said. Both individuals were transported to an area hospital for treatment. |

If you’re a Florida resident living in a rural area not exclusively zoned for residential use, beware of stray bullets; there isn’t much, legally, to protect you from them.
State law allows people to shoot weapons outdoors in areas with residential densities of less than one home per acre. If they accidentally fire a round that hits a nearby property or person, they’re largely free of facing any criminal penalty.
Boynton Beach Sen. Lori Berman and Wellington Rep. Katherine Waldron hope to change that troublesome allowance through twin bills (SB 270, HB 259) they filed for the 2024 Legislative Session. |

A student, a victim of an attempted kidnapping comes to mind, he recalled, “I shot him with my two-shot derringer and he just looked at me.” He now carries a 1911 with no prompting from me.
From another student: “He broke into my house and raped me in front of my children and it will never happen again… ever.” This female, a true warrior now, shoots a large-frame magnum revolver. And she shoots it very well. |

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said that he would not support a national red flag law if elected president and called for more people experiencing mental health struggles to be involuntarily committed to a treatment facility.
DeSantis’ remarks in an interview Thursday on CNN came just a day after mass shootings in Lewiston, Maine, that left 18 dead and set off an ongoing manhunt for the suspected killer. The suspect in the shootings had reportedly experienced mental health issues in the past and was institutionalized for two weeks over the summer. |
