A Sporting Chance
The bill would allow the import of firearms when similar products are domestically produced and available for sale in the United States. [More]
I wonder if he reads Firearms News. The thing is, it doesn’t need to be a bill, which would allow for it to fail. :
There’s something else Trump could do quickly that would not require Congressional approval. Back in 1989, George H.W. Bush (the “Read my lips, no new gun laws” president who quit the NRA over its then-Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre repeating Democrat Rep. John Dingell’s “jackbooted thugs” reference to ATF) imposed “a permanent import ban on 43 types of semiautomatic assault rifles, including the Chinese-made AK47 and Israeli-made Uzi carbine,” per The Washington Post. The excuse given was they “were not being used for sport as required by the Gun Control Act of 1968.”
That would be “very easy” to overturn, Firearms News Editor-in Chief, Vincent L. DeNiro, who has a nine-page resume in the gun industry going back to 1982, assesses. “President Trump doesn’t even need Congress to get rid of the unconstitutional 1989 “assault weapons” import ban, he just needs to order the BATFE to declare all imported semi-auto rifles as ‘sporting,’ which is what these same models are considered when domestically produced.” (True, “sporting use” is a term originated in a 1938 German gun control law, and “swords and every terrible implement of the soldier are the birthright of an American,” but it will get the job done and we know why we want them.)

Incidents/Injuries:
None reported
So unlected, embedded, probable Democrat bureaucrats get to impose an expensive “F*** you” over a non-existent problem, unless you’re in the habit of leaving your guns so equipped in reach of toddlers…
You gotta wonder if they invented this on their own or if the antis have figured out how they can snitch and stick it to gun companies with rulefare.
What was that about teddy bears again…?
I’m wondering if a FOIA request might shed some light, and who would be the best person/entity to file one… I’m also wondering if this type of destructive overreach is something the new administraiton can address.
Too bad Gun Owners for Trump isn’t an actual thing…

The Stop Fraudulent Tax-Funded Anti-Gun Propaganda Act
Medicaid funding for gun violence programs faces scrutiny – Republican Congressman Andrew Clyde, of Georgia, unveiled the Medicaid Funds Integrity Act to restrict Medicaid funds for gun violence prevention programs. [More]
As usual, the “real reporters” are parroting lies to us. The point is to stop using tax dollars to spread violence monopolist propaganda, just like CDC was doing when its Director of the National Center for Injury Control and Prevention publicly advocated “We need to revolutionize the way we look at guns, like what we did with cigarettes. Now it [sic] is dirty, deadly, and banned.”

Guaranteed not to prevent one instance of violence because it will be comprised entirely of people who oppose the only proven deterrent…
It’s revealing, how he lies and says citizen disarmament that will bolster a violence monopoly, a blatantly political move, should “transcend politics.”
That and “Violence is a statewide problem” without telling us how many WI communities has zero murders…
Ah well, his blood dance got him publicity with stupid Democrat voters who believe he’s “doing something,” which is what this is all about.

Multiple Republicans voted for gun confiscations without due process in HB-4144 [More]
Until gun owners let the GOP know they cannot betray us and win, this will continue. They need uncompromising gun owners more than uncompromising gun owners need them.
So does that mean I’d rather let a really, really anti-gun Democrat win the seat instead?
Does that mean you’d surrender your guns if they did?

Your Terms of Surrender
House Bill 12 by Rep. Joy Garratt (D-ABQ) allows law enforcement officers to bypass the need for a “reporting party” and go straight to filing a petition for an extreme risk protective order based on information collected by the officers — allowing them to be the sole source and mechanism by which an order is issued.

From the People Who Would Benefit Politically from You Being Dead
SB25-003, Colorado’s newly filed “Assault Weapons” Semi-Auto Firearm bill will ban all rifles and shotguns that accept detachable magazines, along with many semi-auto pistols that accept detachable magazines. If enacted, the Colorado Attorney General would have the power and authority to further define the nuanced and often contradictory bill language. [More]

If They Can Do It to Him…
A New Jersey attorney who was denied a gun permit is suing Springfield Township and its police department in federal district court, alleging they violated his right to bear arms because of pro-Palestinian social media posts…. In records that Saadeh obtained through the state Open Public Records Act, police wrote that granting the permit renewal “would not be in the interest of the public health, safety or welfare because the person is found to be lacking the essential character of temperament necessary to be entrusted with a firearm.” [More]
Don’t stop there. Sue them for libel.
And no, I’ve changed no positions. I’m only going on facts presented and extrapolating from there while channeling my inner Thomas More.

Tell Me You’ve Learned Nothing Without Telling Me You’ve Learned Nothing
We’re the Only Ones Diagnostic Enough
When gun owners apply for concealed carry permits in Mecklenburg County, sheriff’s office background checks have sometimes turned up sensitive health information, including whether a person has had an abortion or has a sexually transmitted disease… The sheriff’s office, through a spokesperson, said the agency has no control over what information health providers choose to send. In a statement, MCSO said the records sent are dependent on the provider’s discretion. [More]
They can’t specify the information they want? And the providers don’t have policies and procedures in place approved by their risk managment departments to only provide what is required by law?
And why the hell is this required by law anyway?

It’s Showtime!
The U.S. Supreme Court has distributed a third Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) case, B&L Productions v. Newsom, for conference on Friday, Jan. 24. The case challenges California’s statutes which ban gun shows on state-owned property. Because the gun shows at issue are not only opportunities to view and purchase firearms, but also for like-minded individuals to assemble and share ideas, the case presents questions about both the First and Second Amendments. [More]
Having followed this issue for many years, I say apathetic gun show attendees own their share of the mess they’ve allowed. They’re no doubt part of the majority that don’t contribute to efforts like this to clean up that mess.
Judge John L. Sinatra Jr. Has Yuge ‘But’

That and he’s one of those Trump judges we’ve been led to believe would turn things around.
