FRANKFORT — Republican legislation that would ban colleges, universities and any other “postsecondary education facility” from restricting or banning concealed-carry firearms on campuses advanced out of a Tuesday morning House committee meeting.  House Bill 542, sponsored by Rep. Savannah Maddox, R-Dry Ridge, was previously an unrelated bill about “workforce development” before the title and content

After the NRA’s wildly successful lobbying to turn the Second Amendment into an absolute individual right was emboldened by the Bruen decision, several states have been toeing the line to determine what prohibitions, if any, stand in the way of gun ownership. One of them, Missouri, passed a law that put a chilling effect on

As we mentioned just last week, California is a laboratory for oppressive and ineffective gun control. That was in the context of a bill that would punish financial service providers for refusing to discriminate against firearm manufacturers. This week gives us two more examples of how California uses gun control, not to pursue public safety,

Unexpected fault lines emerged Monday in Connecticut’s urban gun-control coalition during a 12-hour hearing that tested the General Assembly’s appetite for new restrictions on firearms and its willingness to confront illegal gun possession.

Late Friday night, members in the anti-gun majority introduced a bill, House Bill 23-1230 (“HB 23-1230”), which bans the manufacturing, importing, purchasing, selling, offering to sell, or transferring ownership of what the drafters have defined as an “assault weapon.” The bill’s broad definition of “assault weapon” bans all semi-automatic rifles including America’s most common rifle, the AR-15, along with

Stymied by the American people and their elected representatives in attempts to enact the type of sweeping legislative gun control they desire, the gun controllers in the federal government sometimes lash out at the Second Amendment rights of those who fall more directly under their control. The most grotesque manifestation of this practice occurs when

Good Tuesday morning. It’s Election Day in Florida. Voters in six Florida counties have opportunities to cast ballots in municipal elections ranging from City and Town Council contests to charter amendments. Among the most high-profile local elections, Tampa voters will decide on all but one City Council district in the state’s third most populous city.

HARTFORD, Conn. — With thousands of shootings already this year nationwide, Connecticut lawmakers clashed Monday over Gov. Ned Lamont’s proposals to restrict the purchase and use of guns. Lamont’s multi-pronged plan calls for preventing anyone under 21 from buying any gun, limiting handgun purchases, requiring registration of previously grandfathered assault weapons and increasing penalties regarding

The Constitution does not guarantee the right to carry guns. Yet the governor is likely to sign a new state gun law in the next few weeks, which will make Florida a whole lot more dangerous.

The Connecticut General Assembly’s Joint Committee on Judiciary held a public hearing on March 6 on firearms and gun-control legislation that lasted about 12 hours (approximately 9 a.m. to 8:45 p.m.) and which, at times, got testy and emotional. Close to 5,000 people submitted written testimony, and more than 150 delivered their remarks in person

Many municipalities being pressured by the progressive left have “defunded the police,” with activists claiming that shrinking “massive” police budgets would actually improve public safety.

MIAMI – A bill up for discussion during this legislative session would allow Floridians to carry concealed firearms without a permit.  On Monday, a gun violence prevention organization held a press conference to oppose the measure.  “The Florida Republican legislature is pushing a dangerous permitless bill that would allow almost anybody to carry a gun

The first of four bills offered by Democrats — which they argue would reduce gun violence — cleared its first House committee Monday on a near party-line vote.
