There have been several different responses to the rise in violent crimes against Asian Americans. Some Asian Americans are going out in public less, out of fear for their own safety. Others are organizing community programs to escort the elderly. And one group in Southern California is thinking about a very different response - taking up arms in self-defense. NPR's John Ruwitch reports.
And a warning - this story contains the sound of gunshots. |

President Biden has announced plans for about half a dozen executive actions. Among them, he wants tighter regulations on buyers of ghost guns, or homemade firearms assembled from parts kits. He wants these treated under the Gun Control Act, and include a background check.
Other plans include a proposed rule regulating pistol-stabilizing braces. Biden said this was used in the Boulder, Colorado shooting last month, which left 10 people dead. He also urges states to adopt "Red Flag Laws," and will publish model legislation in the next two months. Red Flag Laws allow someone to petition a court to have weapons confiscated from someone who could be a danger to themselves or others. |

Proposed by Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt, House Bill 2058 does the following:
--Recognizes all out-of-state concealed carry permits, and allows those who have been licensed to carry a firearm for self-defense, to do so lawfully in Kansas. This legislation recognizes that visitors to Kansas should not be left defenseless simply by crossing a state line.
--Allows individuals who are 18 to 20 years of age to apply for a Kansas concealed carry permit.
--Authorizes the Attorney General to issue an alternative license to carry a concealed handgun to qualified applicants during a declared state of disaster emergency.

In recent weeks, mass shootings and related arrests across the U.S. have made a comeback.
Maybe it’s a very sick sign that our COVID recovery is underway. The carnage begs the usual question: “Does this mean there is a need for gun control?”
Pro-gun activists say the “rare” mentally ill are to blame for the shootings. Opponents say the shootings reveal toxic behavior unrelated to mental illness and are demanding full gun control reform. |

West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey (R) on Thursday threatened to sue the Biden administration over President Biden’s proposed gun safety measures.
Morrisey issued a statement threatening to be in court "very quickly" if Biden follows through on his proposals, which the president unveiled at the White House Rose Garden on Thursday.
“Defending the Second Amendment remains one of the most important priorities for the West Virginia Attorney General’s Office,” Morrisey said. “I will not allow the far left to run roughshod over our citizens’ gun rights. If President Biden follows through on his proposals, we will be in court very quickly." |

A new Texas House Bill that would allow Texans to carry a firearm without a permit has a chance of becoming law this year.
Texas House Bill 1911 has been passed out of the House Homeland Security and Public Safety Committee. It is now waiting for the full vote of the house.
“So, right now if you want to either conceal carry or open carry in Texas you have to undergo a license requirement, meaning that you have to provide finger prints, go through about four to six hours of training and then go through a gun range and do a shooting proficiency,” said Jeanette Arpero, criminal justice professor at WTAMU. |

April 7th, 2021, the South Carolina House voted 69-47 to advance House Bill 3096 after the second reading. This clears the way for H. 3096 to receive a third reading tomorrow, where the House can vote to pass it.
House Bill 3096 allows a law-abiding adult to carry a handgun without first having to obtain government permission. This ensures that citizens have the right to self-defense without government red tape or delays. Additionally, this legislation maintains the existing Concealed Weapon Permit (CWP) system, so citizens who still wish to obtain a permit may do so. |

The occupier-in-chief living in the senior-living-center, formally known as the White House issues executive “Actions”, not orders? Telling us peasants what he is giving us permission to own. Never mind the Constitution.
We say screw that and we doubled down and ordered more. We encourage you to do the same. Here are his five most feared freedom fighting tools that puppet Joe Biden and his gun-hating enablers want to be banned first. |

According to a release, the bill would prevent the federal government from confiscating firearms or ammunition which are legally owned and made in Wisconsin.
This comes on the same day President Joe Biden announced executive action on gun reform. |

What does a camping trip in the woods have in common with taking the dog out for an evening walk? While both scenarios can feel like common, comfortable occurrences to most, they both also can require having the right self-defense tool handy in times of need.
No matter how relaxing or routine an activity may be, they can also all come with potential risks and hazards. Rather than being caught off-guard by a possible threat, it’s worth researching common personal safety tools to help protect in whatever the scenario may be. |

But Winkler says revoking or significantly changing the Second Amendment is highly unlikely. “The truth is, there are only about 10 states with restrictive gun laws,” he says, including Illinois, Massachusetts, New York, and New Jersey. Notably, California is known for the strictest regulations, and it also has the seventh-lowest rate of deaths by gun violence. Since it takes a super-majority of 38 states to repeal an amendment, and roughly 40 states are gun-friendly, Winkler says the Second Amendment is more likely to be amended to expand gun rights than revoke them. Instead, we will have to continue talking about it and trying to find the sweet spot where our right to individual security and public safety are in balance. |

Though the Second Amendment Preservation Act made it through the Wyoming Senate, it will not go any further. Senate File 81 died upon introduction to the House.
The bill was intended to prevent firearms from being confiscated due to federal laws that may be passed in the future. It caused controversy in its original form because it placed the accountability for preventing unwanted laws from being enforced on Wyoming’s law enforcement officers. |

State Rep. Joe Miller (D-Amherst) called on statehouse leaders April 7 to repeal Ohio’s new no duty to retreat law, which passed in December 2020.
Democratic-sponsored legislation, House Bill 38, would repeal the new shoot first law that took effect April 6.
“As a gun owner and supporter of our second amendment myself, I firmly believe that when citizens carry their weapons in public, they agree to do so responsibly, Miller said in a news release. "This means that you do not shoot first if you feel your rights are infringed. |

A Manchester man will not face charges for killing his adult son after the Attorney General’s Office concluded he shot in self-defense as his son punched, kicked and beat him with a cane.
Alan Beliveau, 59, was living with his father, George Beliveau, 82, in a house on Brockton Street, in a quiet neighborhood on Manchester’s West Side. Alan struggled with addiction and mental health, George later told police, and one of George’s other children said her father was afraid of Alan. She would see George with bruises, but he refused to say how he got them. |

House Bill 1450 enhances North Dakota’s permit laws by reducing certain minor violations on its list of prohibiting factors for applicants. HB 1450 would allow more individuals to exercise their constitutional right to self-defense. Please contact Governor Burgum and ask him to sign House Bill 1450.
House Bill 1498 will strengthen North Dakotans’ fundamental right to self-defense anywhere they are legally allowed to be. Victims of violent crime who respond with defensive force while protecting themselves or their loved ones should not have to face the additional threat of criminal or civil prosecution. If enacted, law-abiding citizens would no longer be required to retreat before defending themselves. |

The North Dakota Senate has approved a bill that would significantly lower the legal bar for using deadly force in self-defense.
The so-called "stand-your-ground" legislation would expand the existing "castle" law that permits the use of deadly force at one's home or workplace but requires an effort to escape the attacker in public places unless one's life is in danger. The bill would eliminate the "duty to retreat" and allow the use of deadly force to prevent a violent felony anywhere a person is legally permitted to be. |

The law went into effect on Tuesday. In this week’s column, I will compare ‘Stand Your Ground” to the “Castle Doctrine” that it supplants and offer some sage legal advice Ohioans should consider before pulling the trigger.
Like many American legal principles, the Castle Doctrine is based on English common law and literally means that a person’s home is their castle and they have the right to defend it. |

The National Rifle Association Institute for Legislative Action (NRA-ILA) today applauded Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee for signing Senate Bill 765/House Bill 786 into law. This NRA-backed legislation fully recognizes the constitutional rights of law-abiding gun owners to carry a firearm without government red tape or delays.
“This bill is a great step forward in the advancement of self-defense rights and Second Amendment freedoms for all Tennessee gun owners,” said NRA-ILA Executive Director Jason Ouimet. “It simply means law-abiding Tennessean’s no longer have to pay a tax to exercise the right of self-protection.” |
