Gun Control

The Democratic presidential hopeful and sitting U.S. Senator has stated repeatedly that toy guns are more heavily regulated in the United States than real guns. Spartacus, Jr., made the same claim in his 15-point gun-control policy platform last week, and the Washington Post’s fact-checkers rated his statements as “mostly false.”

Shannon Watts said on Twitter Tuesday, “Soon, NRA lapdogs will say that the teachers in Highlands Ranch should have been armed. Shame them. Shun them.”

Cory Booker is having another Spartacus moment.

The New Jersey Senator and Democratic Presidential candidate, most famous for comparing himself to Spartacus during the Senate hearings to confirm Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court, announced this week a sweeping, 15-point gun control platform that the New York Times called “most progressive” of any candidate to date.

U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein reintroduced this week a bill that would raise the minimum age to 21 for anyone attempting to purchase an “assault weapon” and or a “high-capacity” magazine. The California Democrat introduced the same bill last year in the Senate, but has decided to try her hand again in the wake of a murder that took place at a San Diego synagogue last week.

Interim President Juan Guaidó of Venezuela is admitting that the populist push to remove the Nicolas Maduro regime from power is losing ground.

The First Circuit Court of Appeals sided with Attorney General Maura Healey and upheld the Massachusetts “assault weapon” ban.

A new piece of legislation introduced earlier this month in the U.S. House of Representatives would allow medical marijuana users to purchase and own firearms.

The bill, dubbed the “Second Amendment Protection Act,” was introduced by West Virginia Rep. Alexander Mooney and states that an individual “shall not be treated as an unlawful user of or addicted to any controlled substance based on the individual using marijuana for a medical purpose in accordance with State law.”

Democratic presidential hopeful Kamala Harris told a crowd at a CNN town hall on Monday that, if elected, she plans to use executive action to implement universal background checks, revoke the licenses of firearms dealers who break the law, close the so-called “boyfriend loophole,” and prohibit people with arrest warrants from buying guns.

Not satisfied with confiscating firearms from law-abiding Australian citizens, one province Down Under has passed a new regulation that would force museums to render their firearms “permanently inoperable.”
