Virginia VCheck Outage Points to Unacceptable Vulnerability for Gun Purchases

“All gun sales, even private ones, were stopped dead in their tracks until that system came back up. If it took a month, then gun sales would have been stopped for a month.” [More]

But don’t worry– rights weren’t “denied.” You just couldn’t exercise them.

Stroke of the Pen, Law of the Land of Lincoln

With the stroke of his pen, Governor JB Pritzker made Illinois the ninth state to ban assault-style weapons. [More]

No surprise there.

So how soon until we see that challenge we’re told groups are “gearing up for“?

Back to the Drawing Board

SCOTUS denies vacating 2nd circuit stay in Antonyuk, but says @GunOwners “should not be deterred by today’s order from again seeking relief if the Second Circuit” gets it wrong! [More]

H.R.38 – To amend title 18, United States Code, to provide a means by which nonresidents of a State whose residents may carry concealed firearms may also do so in the State. [More]

Grieveland

Student shot and killed at bus stop near John Adams high school in Cleveland [More]
