Prelude to Confiscation

ATF whistleblowers sound alarm on Biden admin proposal that effectively bans private gun sales: report – Watchdog group says alleged ATF proposal would ‘go after law-abiding citizens for private’ gun sales [More]

Not in Our Best Interests

Members of the Senate Health and Public Affairs Committed voted 5-4 to table Senate Bill 122, which advocates say would give prosecutors and judges a stronger tool to keep suspects charged with violent crimes behind bars while they await trial. [More]
