The state of Oregon could impose new restrictions on the right to keep and bear arms, many of which appear to violate the Constitution, if a ballot initiative just approved for the November elections ends up being approved by voters.
The gun control lobby loves to portray itself as the voice of "reasonableness" and "commonsense," but their criticism of the armed citizen who stopped the targeted attack at a Greenwood, Indiana mall doesn't make much sense at all, as the Reload's Stephen Gutowski and Cam Edwards discuss on today's show.
A 22-year old was able to stop a targeted attack on an Indiana mall on Sunday, but only because he violated the mall's "no weapons" policy and was carrying a handgun of his own. While the armed citizen isn't likely to face chargers, the defensive gun use is another demonstration that "gun-free zones" don't stop violent criminals, but could prevent law-abiding citizens from acting in self-defense or the defense of others.
Law professor Jonathan Turley says New York Gov. Kathy Hochul and the Democratic legislature are risking a Supreme Court smackdown with their latest round of gun control laws, but he gives the anti-gun politicians far too much credit when it comes to trying to comply with the Court's decision in Bruen.
Florida Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried's lawsuit challenging the federal government's prohibition on gun ownership for medical marijuana laws looks to be motivated at least in part by politics, but that doesn't mean the case itself is without merit.
Rick Ector is hoping to help educate hundreds of new and would-be gun owners in the Detroit area through a massive event taking place at two local ranges later this month. He joins Cam to talk about the event, as well as the licensing delays Detroit residents are still facing when they apply for their license to carry.
Anti-gun activists are getting downright delusional with their efforts to disarm Americans. Thwarted by the Supreme Court, a growing number of them are now demanding that we the people amend the Constitution and repeal the right to keep and bear arms entirely.
House Oversight Committee chairwoman Carolyn Maloney of New York is calling on the CEOs of several major gun companies to testify on Capitol Hill in a politically-motivated witch hunt designed to scapegoat the firearms industry and blame it for the actions of criminals.
Attorneys for the New York State Rifle & Pistol Association are carefully poring over the new anti-2A laws slapped in place by Democrats last week, and NYSRPA executive director Tom King says legal challenges are coming "sooner rather than later."
New York State Rifle & Pistol Association executive director Tom King tells Cam that the attempts by New York Democrats to defy the Supreme Court's opinion on the right to bear arms in public by imposing sweeping "gun-free zones", draconian training mandates, and more will be challenged.
