Significant firearms-friendly laws go into effect in Arizona.
With so much attention focused on Arizona's controversial immigration law, some other nationally significant measures adopted in Tucson last spring have been overlooked.
Firearms microstamping study bill introduced in U.S. House.
The National Shooting Sports Foundation is applauding Congressman Dan Boren (D-Okla.) for introducing legislation in early July (H.R. 5667) that directs the U.S. Attorney General to work with the National Academy of Sciences to conduct a comprehensive study of firearm microstamping.
Elena Kagan's Supreme Court quest cleared a critical hurdle Tuesday when the Senate Judiciary Committee endorsed her nomination in a 13-6 vote.
If she is confirmed by the Senate as expected early in August, the nine-member court will have four Democratic appointees for the first time since 1971.
As expected, Chicago adopts new ordinance restricting gun ownership.
Four days after the U.S. Supreme Court shot down Chicago's handgun ban, city aldermen on July 2 voted 45-0 to impose new regime of restrictions on gun ownership. Within a week, lawsuits challenging the new ordinance were filed by a man who wants to open a gun shop in the city and four residents.
Group warns senators not to approve nominee's appointment to Supreme Court.
The NRA has ended its silence regarding Elena Kagan's nomination for the U.S. Supreme Court, issuing a statement on July 1 claiming that Kagan "repeatedly demonstrated a clear hostility" to gun rights in her career in government and academia, and warning senators that it will take their votes into account when considering endorsing their re-election.
New Mexico, Virginia, Tennessee, Georgia, Indiana legislators' pro-Second Amendment laws are now in effect.
The 561 new laws approved by State Legislatures nationwide that went into effect on July 1 include significant victories for Second Amendment advocates.
The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that the Second Amendment "applies equally to the federal government and the states."
The 5-4 ruling in McDonald v city of Chicago did not explicitly strike down gun bans in Chicago and one of its suburbs, but orders a federal appeals court to reconsider its initial ruling upholding the bans. But it left little doubt that they would eventually fall, a vast majority of legal pundits agree.
Called the MicroSight, this is a brilliant idea for shooters who want to keep using iron sights but are limited by deteriorating vision. While it looks like this concept would work great in competitive shooting (assuming the rules allow for it) and in an arid environment when hunting or in combat, I wonder how well it would function in the snow and rain. Would snow, rain or fog haze up the image to the point where you couldn’t see the target?
Daley continues to unravel in a bizarre display of disintegration.
It's early June and that means someday soon, the U.S. Supreme Court will issue decisions on cases it heard during its fall 2009 session.
Chief among them is McDonald v. City of Chicago, a challenge many legal pundits believe will result in a ruling that finds the city's 37-year-old gun ban is unconstitutional.
NRA chief lobbyist Chris Cox responded to allegations that those who support the Second Amendment apparently support terrorism with a noteworthy column in the Washington Post on May 10. There is a real and present danger of this tool being used for all the wrong reasons -- none of which has to do with homeland defense and fighting terrorism.
