Massachusetts Latest Version of Their Own “Carry Killer” Bill To Be Voted On Thurs 2/1
Last year, devious Massachusetts State Representative Michael Day put on an 11-part Gun Law Listening Tour, pretending to hear both sides of the anti-gun/pro-gun positions. Immediately after, he put out a lengthy bill that strips your gun rights like nothing we’ve ever seen before. It failed.
Round two is being voted on tomorrow, Thursday, Feb 1.

NYS Threatens to Sue Other States for Selling Ammo to NY Residents
New York State legislators have an egregious new bill on the table that demonizes New York gun owners and will punish them and out-of-state dealers for trying to save a few bucks on ammunition. We all know Kathy Hochul will sign just about any bit of gun control legislation that makes it to her desk. Remember, its much easier to kill a bad bill before it becomes law than it is to get it overturned after it becomes law.

SAF Challenges Federal Prohibition On Marijuana Use & Gun Ownership
Today, the Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) filed a federal lawsuit challenging the prohibition on firearm possession for marijuana users. Does this prohibition have any historical backing or will it fall under Bruen?

Third Circuit Protects 2A Rights for 18-to-20-Year-Olds
Another gift from Bruen today. A three-judge panel of the US Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit correctly interpreted the Bruen ruling in recognizing that 18-20 year olds do not have a different set of rights than those aged 21 and older.

9th Circuit Shockingly Stops Carry Ban!
First you can’t carry in all these “sensitive places” and then you can and then you can’t again and then you can again… The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, which is well-known for its rabid anti-gun vitriol, again reversed itself. Californians CAN strap their guns on again.

9th Circuit Appeals Court Again Steps on the #2A
As expected, a motions panel of the largely anti-gun, anti-rights, 9th Circuit Court of Appeals stayed the preliminary injunction that would have prevented California’s carry killer bill, SB2, from going into effect. Unfortunately, SB2 is now in effect statewide.

US Federal Judge Stops California Carry Restrictions
Law-abiding Californians just got the best Christmas gift: Firearms Freedom! Citing the very similar New Jersey carry killer law making virtually the entire state off limits to legal concealed carry, a Federal Judge enjoined California’s SB2 carry killer bill, stopping it from going into effect on Jan 1, 2024.

Gun Rights Groups Target CCW Laws in California
With the force of the Bruen ruling behind them, Second Amendment groups have brought a much needed challenge against the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department and the California Attorney General. At stake is the constitutionality of the abusive amount of time it takes to receive a concealed carry permit.

SCOTUS Issues Directive in the IL Assault Weapons Ban Case
Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett just issued a directive to Illinois and the city of Naperville. They have until December 6th to submit their arguments supporting their “assault weapons” ban.

Congressional Democrats Peddle Gun Control As “public health crisis”
Much like Italian dishes, which are often made from the same ingredients but folded into different shapes and called something different, so too are Congressional Democrats’ efforts at gun control. The newest lasagna is to package gun violence as a “public health crisis.”

Appeals Court Knocks Down Maryland’s Handgun Licensing Law
The Bruen ruling, handed down in June 2022, keeps the wins coming. The Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals enjoined a Maryland handgun licensing scheme from being enforced. While this decision is currently only binding on the fourth circuit, it has potential for much wider reaching implications in other circuits.

An Open Letter to Speaker Mariano on the Shredding of the Bill of Rights
Urgent! Massachusetts House poised to vote on HD.4607 this Wednesday, October 18th. This is the most egregious anti-civil rights bill of all time. It is imperative you contact your legislators and Speaker Mariano immediately to let them know your rights cannot be taken!
