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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

In the wake of the tragic shooting last Saturday at the Poway, Calif., synagogue that left one dead and three others wounded, gun control advocates came out of the woodwork explaining that if we just outlawed "assault weapons," this tragedy wouldn't have happened.
