I’m not so much sure we could call him a “good” Democrat as one who could not figure out a way to override clear state preemption law without bringing a s#!+storm down on himself.

Registration for 2025 Fall Youth Shoot now open [More]

I’d call enrollment of children by those who can a parental responsibility.
What do you have going on in your state?

Today, we’re detailing nine new House bills and one new Senate bill that BFA opposes — though “new” is a stretch. These are largely the same ineffective measures rebranded with fresh bill numbers. [More]
No one ever accused Opposite Day “progressives” of actually having new ideas.

Ohio House Bill 331 and Ohio Senate Bill 214 propose revisions to the Ohio Revised Code, eliminating suppressors and mufflers from the definition of dangerous ordnance and removing language that mandates suppressor registration under the NFA. [More]
