A former Shelby Township public official is expected to be arraigned Monday in Macomb County Circuit Court on a felony weapons charge in connection with a traffic accident he was involved in.
Nicholas Nightingale, a former township trustee, faces one felony count of carrying a concealed weapon, and misdemeanor charges of operating a motor vehicle with a blood-alcohol level of 0.17, possession of a weapon under the influence of alcohol and failing to stop at the scene of an accident.
He was ordered to stand trial following a preliminary exam in 41A District Court on May 21. Defense attorney Vincent Manzella said he plans to file a motion to quash or overturn Visiting Judge Matthew Rumora's decision on the CCW charge. |

On Wednesday, the Senate Codes Committee passed S.6151 (Kavanaugh) on a 9 to 4 vote. This legislation is a desperate attempt to moot United States Supreme Court review of New York City’s unconstitutional firearm travel laws in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association Inc. v. City of New York. The Supreme Court has already rejected New York City’s effort to moot the case by offering to amend its current regulation. Now, suddenly, there is a second effort to stop the Supreme Court from hearing this case by changing New York State penal law. |

ATF Special Agent Shawn Benedict said two .45 caliber pistols were found at the scene of Friday's rampage, one purchased by the shooter in 2016 and one in 2018. Two other firearms were found at the home of the suspect, 40-year-old DeWayne Craddock, Benedict said at a news conference. |

Mark Cuban might be a billionaire entrepreneur, NBA team owner and celebrity investor with a television show. But a constitutional scholar, he’s not. It’s time to call foul on Cuban’s latest foray into the gun rights debate. He offered to “update” the Second Amendment. What he really offered was lower the hoop to six feet so gun controllers could finally dunk. Cuban’s proposed changes include:

This week’s revelation that Salesforce.com, a San Francisco-based business software company, has changed its company policy to bar the use of its technology to companies that sell “a range of firearms, including automatic and certain semi-automatic firearms,” got a swift and scathing reaction from a major gun rights organization. |

The United States militia is enshrined in the Second Amendment of the Constitution. And while the militia movement of today is widely known, its history – and the history of independent Constitutional militias stretching back to the dawn of the republic – is far less well known. Why does this matter nowadays? Because understanding the historical roots of America's militias helps modern-day members appreciate the role they play in our federal system of government. |

TO BE CLEAR, there was nothing I could’ve done to save him. It’s just a fantasy that has been circling my brain in a holding pattern for decades — that somehow I could have intervened. On the evening of Dec. 14, 1992, a student armed with a semiautomatic rifle fired into the guard shack at the entrance to Bard College at Simon’s Rock in Great Barrington, Mass., seriously wounding the guard stationed there. Moments later a car pulled up to the guard shack and the killer shot point-blank into the car’s side window.

Too many guns. Too little hope. After each succeeding gun massacre, a dull fatalism grips the American mind. The victims of such massacres are counted in the thousands; the victims of individual murder, of suicide, and of heartrending accident by now are counted in the tens of thousands. Yet action to save lives is vetoed again and again by an implacable minority who see gun ownership as integral to their identity. |

The question whether video games affect people is a sensitive one, especially when it comes to the possible relationship between violent video games and gun behavior. Unfortunately, it is a topic that must be discussed especially since among the resource-rich countries, the United States actually has the highest child mortality rate resulting from unintentional firearm use. |

Maine’s bear hunters were hoping to bag big wins in the legislature this year, but their proposals for an overhaul of the state’s hunting rules will have to wait. State legislators considered a change offered by a pro-hunting group that would have allowed state biologists to adjust the length of the season and the number of animals a hunter can kill.

During his CNN town hall on Sunday, 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Rep. Seth Moulton (MA) was asked what he would do to combat the gun violence problem in America. Naturally, Moulton ran with the typical anti-gun talking points, despite being a former member of the military. "It's almost embarrassing to be standing here as a member of Congress even how little we've done about gun violence in America," Moulton said. "I carried guns In Iraq every single day, two. I had to use guns for my job. Guns saved my life. But weapons of war have no place on our streets or in our schools."
