California’s SB 1327 fee shifting provisions stopped

In an order issued last night, Judge Roger Benitez enjoined the fee shifting provisions of SB 1327, a law Governor Newsom patterned after a Texas law banning abortion. This is a HUGE WIN for California’s lawful gun owners as it stops the state’s attempt to make its laws impervious to legal challenge.

CDC pressured by gun control zealots to bury stats on guns used in self-defense, downplay firearms as possible crime deterrent

California DOJ drops defense of SB 1327

What states such as California and New York can learn about guns

More people than ever have concealed handgun permits. A new report from the Crime Prevention Research Center, which I head, shows the figure now stands at 22.01 million — an increase of 488,000 since last year. Whereas gun ownership surveys may be affected by people’s willingness to answer personal questions, concealed handgun permit data is the only “hard data” we have on the prevalence of guns.

Another day, another court decision against New York gun control

Sensible gun logic

Just like voting

I think firearms dealers should sell guns by mail without checking photo I.D. or verifying signatures. You know, just like mail-in voting.

Trump-appointee blocks NY gun law, says Dem legislature ‘may not eviscerate the Bill of Rights’

New York gun control advocates are enraged after a Trump-appointed judge blocked an unconstitutional gun law from taking effect and then raked Democrats over the coals for attempting to “eviscerate the Bill of Rights.”

NY ruling will have enormous implications across the U.S.

Today, Gun Owners of America (GOA) and Gun Owners Foundation (GOF) secured a preliminary injunction in federal district court against most of New York’s poorly named “Concealed Carry Improvement Act.” This follows GOA and GOF securing a temporary restraining order against the law in October, which was frustratingly blocked by a federal appeals court.
