Rep. Chris Collins started planning Saturday's two-hour firearm-safety workshop in Elma three months ago – long before the shooting that injured Rep. Steve Scalise and others shocked the nation last month. But the injuries suffered by Scalise, the House majority whip from Louisiana, and others at a June 14 Republican congressional baseball practice further crystalized for Collins the nation’s heightened need for responsible gun ownership. |

A foiled gun-smuggling attempt in Nogales, Arizona, and a daring raid at an airstrip in Sinaloa, Mexico, led U.S. authorities to a gun shop on Tucson’s northwest side. Along the way, federal agents encountered rifles powerful enough to take down a helicopter, two phony home invasions, dozens of fraudulent gun sale records, and a former Tucson police officer accused of stealing the identities of people he arrested as part of a scheme to smuggle guns across the border. |

The enthusiasm was high; the fear was non-existent.
Dispelling any notion that women and guns do not mix, women took over the shooting ranges at the South Berwick Rod and Gun Association all day Sunday. Participants shot pistols, revolvers, shotguns and rifles, both bolt action and semi-automatic.

If there is a target type more routinely satisfying than steel, we’re open to suggestions. We grant that others may be more necessary, dramatic or even fulfilling (in several senses of that word), but few—ding in and ding out—are so much fun. There was a time when the fun was seriously eroded and corroded by several annoying and unsafe attributes, most of which boiled down to one thing—inappropriate base materials for the targets.

A judge tossed out an anti-campus carry lawsuit conducted by three Texas professors, saying it contained “no concrete evidence” and instead consisted of “mere conjecture,” according to a court document reported Saturday. Jennifer Lynn Glass, Lisa Moore, and Mia Carter, professors at the University of Texas at Austin, alleged that Texas’ campus carry law, which permits students 21 years old or older to carry a handgun on campus, violated their right to free speech, according to Campus Reform. Judge Lee Yeakel summarily refuted the legal basis of these claims in his decision filed Thursday.

Before the fatal encounter, 30-year-old Marquian Hearring, who had reportedly been drinking all day, picked fights, brandished a gun and threatened people at a northeast valley apartment complex, where revelers were out celebrating the Fourth of July. Hearring’s final confrontation led to a hail of bullets — mostly shot by Keon Miller, who he’d just upset — which sent rounds flying through apartments, leaving Hearring dead, a bystander wounded and Miller facing a murder charge, according to Metro Police. |
NRA's Latest Call to Arms: Lawless Liberals Run Amok

The influential lobbying and marketing arm for America’s gun manufacturers no longer has a Democrat in the White House to demonize as a way of boosting sales. A slump in demand since President Donald Trump’s inauguration seems to have prompted the National Rifle Association to manufacture a new demon: To arms! Lawless liberals are running amok! The newest NRA ad campaign is titled “Freedom’s Safest Place,” and it features incendiary narratives suggesting that taking up weapons is the only way to fend off a relentless onslaught on American values. This campaign is absurdly exaggerated but nevertheless frightening in its rationalization of guns as the solution to America’s political divide. |

It was inside a now-empty home in the tiny Wisconsin town of Weston that Jerad Jones shot and killed his brother-in-law, Justin Ogden. "There's not going to be an argument about what happened. There's going to be an argument about why it happened," said defense attorney Aaron Nelson.
