This year, a trio of anti-gun bills are advancing through the California legislature, two of which set up gun makers for expensive and potentially devastating legal battles.

The Meskwaki Nation Police Department in Iowa confiscated this week a homemade firearm they dubbed the “Smith and Meth-Son.”

“It is alarming that no evidence has been adduced to justify the arbitrary selection of the firearms on the list. Prohibiting specific types of firearms is an approach that has proven ineffective in improving public safety,” she said.

In a move that surprised no one, New York City Mayor Eric Adams called for a “national” gun control response after a would-be mass murderer opened fire on a crowded subway train last week.

In a tale as old as time, the anti-gun lobby is once again petitioning the Federal Trade Commission to investigate and regulate American gun makers for “unfair and deceptive” marketing practices.

President Joe Biden today announced a final rule that bans certain homemade firearms kits (otherwise known as “ghost guns”) by redefining the term “firearm” under federal law. He also named a new nominee to head the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF).

Minneapolis prosecutors announced Wednesday that they do not plan to file charges against a police officer who shot and killed a legally armed man during a no-knock raid in February.

A Texas grand jury decided not to recommend charges against a man who shot and killed his girlfriend’s ex-husband in a viral incident caught on video in November.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) caved to pressure from the anti-gun group Everytown for Gun Safety this week when it revoked the federal firearms license of a gun maker in Nevada.
