Michigan Democrats Target Home-Built Guns

1 day ago | bearingarms.com | Cam Edwards

Violent crime appears to be trending down in Michigan, which is a very good thing. Last year, for example, the city of Detroit saw the fewest number of homicides in 60 years, and non-fatal shootings were down by 25%. Democrats in the Michigan legislature are proposing several new measures ostensibly aimed at making those numbers drop even more. The problem, though, is that what they're proposing will have a much bigger impact on lawful gun owners than violent criminals.

A U.S. District Judge in Colorado has upheld the state's ban on gun sales to adults younger than 21 after a federal appellate court previously ruled that the prohibition is kosher under the Constitution. Colorado's ban took effect in 2023, and Rocky Mountain Gun Owners, along with a couple of individual plaintiffs, were successful in obtaining a preliminary injunction blocking enforcement of the law.
Oklahomans Can Now Display a Gun to Defend Property, Not Just Lives

2 days ago | bearingarms.com | Cam Edwards

Oklahoma law already allowed lawful gun owners to display their firearms to protect their life or the lives of others. Now, however, residents can also display a gun to protect their property. HB 2818 was recently signed into law by Gov. Kevin Stitt after winning approval by wide margins in both chambers of the legislature. Still, the handful of anti-gun lawmakers have been mounting a public relations campaign against the new law, warning that it will make the Sooner State less safe. Rep.
2A Groups Ready Lawsuit Over Maine's 'Red Flag' Referendum

As we reported earlier this week, the statute in question says ballot initiatives "must be afforded a public hearing conducted by the joint standing committee of the Legislature having jurisdiction over the subject matter of the petition or by a special legislative committee established for that purpose by the Legislative Council", and that the "public hearing must be conducted in the same manner as other public hearings."

I continue to believe that it's an injustice for Scott Hayes to have ever faced criminal charges to begin with. The licensed gun owner was exercising his First Amendment right to peacefully protest in support of Israel last September when a man ran across the street and assaulted him. As Hayes was lying on the ground wrestling with his attacker his gun discharged, wounding his assailant.

An undivided Supreme Court ruled 9-0 on Thursday in tossing out the Mexican government's lawsuit against Smith & Wesson and many other major gun makers that alleged the companies were the proximate cause of cartel violence south of the border. In an opinion written by Justice Elena Kagan, the Court held that the lawsuit, filed with the support of gun control activists, is barred by the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act.

Nevada Gov. Joe Lombardo has once again stepped up to defend the right to keep and bear arms in the Silver State by vetoing a gun control measure approved by the Democrat-controlled legislature. It's the second time that Lombardo, the former sheriff of Clark County, Nevada, has rejected a bill aimed at preventing adults under the age of 21 from exercising their Second Amendment rights.
North Carolina's Permitless Carry Bill Clears Another Hurdle

The North Carolina Senate has already signed off on allowing lawful gun owners to be able to bear arms without the need for a government-issued permission slip, and the House of Representatives could soon follow suit after the legislation passed out of a key committee on Tuesday. According to Grassroots NC, however, the vote in the Judiciary 2 Committee was a lot closer than it should have been.
