Clay County Florida Sheriff Darryl Daniels warned protesters in a video Tuesday he will “deputize” all “lawful gun owners” if protesters become too violent. The video posted on YouTube Tuesday depicts Daniels standing in front of deputies while he told protesters they are wrong to think the sheriff and deputies will surrender if “lawless” demonstrators “threaten to come to Clay County.” ...

The Colorado Supreme Court upheld a law Monday banning the possession of gun magazines capable of holding more than 15 rounds of ammunition despite opposition from gun rights advocates. Justice Monica M. Márquez wrote the majority opinion, calling the gun control legislation “a reasonable exercise of the police power that has neither the purpose nor effect of nullifying the right ...

Republican Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz announced Tuesday that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives has been secretly working on restricting a type of device that allows gun owners to stabilize both pistols and short-barreled rifles against their arms. Such a pistol brace also allows a buyer to obtain a rifle-style weapon with a short barrel length without a ...

The Florida Supreme Court on Thursday struck down an amendment that would ban the ownership of assault weapons due to misleading wording. Ban Assault Weapons Now, which prohibited the “possession of assault weapons,” banned magazines holding more than 10 rounds and mandated registration for these guns, was set to appear on the 2020 ballot. However, justices voted 4-1 to ensure ...

Over 1.7 million firearms were acquired by private citizens and handgun scales skyrocketed by 90% when compared to sales in the same month in 2019, according to Small Arms Analytics & Forecasting’s (SAAF) analysis of FBI NICS data.

Tennessee is now one step closer to becoming a Second Amendment sanctuary after the state House of Representatives passed a resolution Monday strengthening legal protections of gun ownership. Resolution HJR074, drafted in March, requires the state to “[extend] a safe harbor to Virginians and other United States citizens whose constitutional rights are being violated by elected officials.” It also affirms ...

The Second Amendment is probably the most controversial provision in the Bill of Rights. People broadly agree that there should be freedom of speech. Most people don’t think the government agents should be able to search anyplace, anytime they want. We may argue about the extent of these rights, but virtually everybody thinks they should be upheld. But when it ...

“Make no mistake,” the governor said. “If you are essential and open, you have a special responsibility to do the right thing.” Northam’s guidance did not mention gun shops as either essential or nonessential, though he did list indoor shooting ranges as nonessential. He did not respond to a request for comment as to whether gun shops are considered essential. ...

Arming and training teachers and school staff is an effort that is not taken lightly. The reality is that arming volunteer school staff can prevent school shootings. It has become apparent that special door locks and security cameras are ineffective. In recent school active shooter confrontations, these safety measures have been shown to not prevent the shootings. While training requirements ...

In 2019, the New Mexico legislature passed legislation that curtails the 2nd Amendment rights of New Mexicans. Unfortunately, the law is in place now. And, the prospects for overturning the legislation are dim. Sadly, that’s not a surprise, given the current batch of elected state officials. However, the persistence of the New Mexico legislature in the face of legitimate resistance ...

Chris Hurst is a lot like Parkland shooting publicity hound David Hogg. Both have used an association with violence as a stepping stone to advance their career. Hogg parlayed Parkland into a spot at Harvard and Hurst parlayed the publicity surrounding the televised shooting death of his girlfriend into a spot in the House of Delegates. Naturally, Hurst is very ...

Activists at Monday’s Second Amendment rally in Richmond, Virginia, said gun rights are essential for all Americans, especially women. “We have families to protect, but it’s more than protection. It was guaranteed by the Founding Fathers that all the amendments are our protection against a tyrannical government,” one woman said. “If we start chiseling away at this, we’ll start chiseling ...

Virginia is for Gun grabbers? Governor “Blackface” Northam and his fellow Democrats in Virginia continue to roll ahead with their Soros and Bloomberg-backed gun control plans, which are a direct violation of our Second Amendment.

A surprising development is occurring among staunch members of the left at the Washington Post and elsewhere. These woke scolds have come out strongly against sanctuary cities and counties. Before it was either silence or tacit approval for government sheltering a population that was “in the shadows,” which makes sense when you remember they’re running from the law. Sanctuary jurisdictions ...
