BATFE has reneged on its previous stance regarding “stabilizing braces” for AR-style handguns. Now ATF says that using such a brace as a shoulder stock on a pistol so equipped “constitutes a ‘redesign’ of the device because a possessor has changed the very function of the item.” Does that mean if you fire a long gun one-handed and without its […] Read More
Newtown update: The Constitution State?
The Sandy Hook Advisory Commission, formed in the wake of the school shooting tragedy in Newtown, Connecticut, wants restrictive gun laws, including an unconstitutional ban on the sale and possession of any gun that can fire more than 10 rounds without reloading. “Whether or not this law would stand the test of constitutionality is not for this commission to decide,” […] Read More
State of the Union: 2015 vs. 2013
We understand that President Obama’s 2013 State of the Union Speech contained eight instances where Obama mentioned guns or gun violence (sic).
