Gun Control

Sen. Chuck Schumer is calling on the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF) to crack down on “ghost guns.”

A Utah gun-rights advocate said that recent efforts to enact gun control in the Beehive State is a solution to a problem that doesn’t exist.

A Virginia House committee advanced this week a bill banning the sale, manufacture, and possession of “assault weapons,” “high-capacity” magazines, and suppressors (HB 961). The House Public Safety Committee passed the legislation on a 12-9 party-line vote and sent it to the full House for consideration.

The Florida referendum to ban common rifles and shotguns as “assault weapons” has failed to gather enough signatures to appear on the 2020 ballot.

Mayor Whaley and others are pushing to increase regulations regarding “ghost guns,” or guns made at home from parts and kits.

“I was prepared to see a whole lot more people show up than actually did and I think it’s an indication that a lot of this rhetoric is bluster, quite frankly,” said anti-gun activist Chris Hurst reports ABC 13.

“I am not a Michael Bloomberg surrogate,” said Judge Judy. “We may not agree on everything. I have always felt that the bad guys will always get guns. I was involved in criminal justice for a quarter of a century before I got this great gig that I have now.”

“My Office is taking the initial step of clarifying – through my official, legal opinion – that under Pennsylvania law, 80% receivers are firearms and can be treated, regulated, and enforced as such,” Shapiro said Monday.

“This is East Texas,” he said. “No one has any question as to how we feel about the Second Amendment.”
