Minnesota Democrats (known in that state as DFL for Democrat-Farm-Labor) have made it a priority to pass additional gun control laws, only to be stymied by Republicans who still control the state Senate. The proposed gun control laws would institute universal background checks for private transfers of firearms and institute so-called "red-flag" laws which turn […]
Delaware Senate President Pro Tem David McBride announced earlier this week that the package of gun control bills being pushed by Democrats would be shelved after the response by the public to the plans was less than enthusiastic. Support for strict gun control measures proposed by fellow Democrats is "almost non-existent," the leader of Delaware's […]
Following in the footsteps of Washington Gov. Jay Inslee, New York Democrats announced a push today to pass a bill that would ban undetectable guns from being manufactured and sold in New York. Supporters said the ban on firearms that are undetectable by X-ray machines will save lives and bolster New York's gun laws, which are […]
Oregon Democrats have a 3/5ths supermajority in the state Senate which allows them basically free reign over the legislative priorities of the chamber. However, to do actual business, there needs to be a quorum, which is defined as 2/3rds of voting members being present. Since last week, the Republican minority has sent only one senator […]
Maine Rep. Barbara Cardone (D.-Bangor) has determined the maximum amount of rounds necessary in any self-defense situation that may arise in the state. That number is 10. The proposal would make selling a high-capacity magazine a Class D crime. It has no language about bringing a high-capacity magazine across state lines. According to the proposal, […]
Earlier this week, Washington Gov. Jay Inslee signed a slate of new gun control laws, including a law that apparently makes certain illegal guns illegaler. The gun control laws would be “a model for the rest of the United States,” said Inslee, who is running for president. A model? As in, the federal government should […]
The New York State Rifle & Pistol Association (NYSRPA) filed its brief in its Supreme Court case against the City of New York Tuesday afternoon and it invites the court to rule broadly and expand slap down district and appellate courts who have been committing legal contortions to do all that they're able to to […]
The National Rifle Association's Institute for Legislative Action (NRA-ILA) is encouraging Delaware gun owners to make their voices heard Wednesday, May 8 at 2:30 p.m. in the state Senate chamber as the legislature considers a trio of gun control bills.

As we reported last month, the City of New York attempted to preempt a Supreme Court decision on its draconian gun control law that prohibits a person with a premises permit from taking their firearm outside the city limits by changing the law. New York City wasn't interested in changing the law when it was […]
Former Newark, N.J. mayor and current Sen. Cory Booker unveiled his gun control wishlist today that would do little to actually stem gun violence and instead is aimed at large scale gun confiscation and bankrupting gun manufacturers. Like his gun-grabbing colleague, Sen. Kamala Harris (D.-Calif.), Booker's extensive rewrite of the nation's gun laws and gutting […]
With Democrats in control of the Nevada governor's office and the state legislature, a push is being made to allow counties, specifically Clark County, to create stronger gun-control laws than the remainder of the state. Many states, most notably Pennsylvania, have what are known as preemption laws that bar any government entity other than the […]
The Florida legislature on Wednesday passed a bill that would allow school districts to arm teachers as part of the state's school guardian program. GOP Gov.
