The prosecutor in Washington state's most-populated county is calling on police agencies to investigate people who try to buy guns when they are legally prohibited from owning them. “They’ve shown an intent to get a gun, even when the law says they can’t have one. I want to know why that person is trying to get the gun,” said Dan Satterberg. |

New Mexico gun owners must immediately rally opposition to two identical anti-gun measures that would criminalize most private transfers of firearms in the Land of Enchantment. House Bill 50, NRA-opposed legislation banning private firearms sales and transfers, is sponsored by Democrat state Rep. Stephanie Garcia Richard and is receiving full support from the Bloomberg-funded gun-ban group Everytown for Gun Safety. On Saturday, the House Consumer and Public Affairs Committee approved the measure by a 3-2 vote. |

The sponsor of legislation to weaken "Shannon's Law' agreed Tuesday to stop trying to allow people to fire off guns in a city within a quarter-mile of any residence. Rep. Tony Rivero, R-Peoria, said there was too much pushback to his proposal from police and prosecutors who complained of the danger to public safety. That opposition apparently left him without sufficient votes to get the measure approved Tuesday by the House as scheduled. |

While some victims of domestic violence would be able to possess a gun for 60 days without a permit under a bill debated at the statehouse, opponents argue the last thing a violent home needs is the presence of a firearm. “In the last report of 100 deaths, 77 separate incidents, 62 out of the hundred were committed with a firearm,” said Laura Berry of the Indiana Coalition Against Domestic Violence, citing a recent fatal domestic violence study. |

I suspect that the argument of what rifle cartridge is the best "all-around" caliber for Alaska big game hunting has burned as many calories in heated debate as what truck is better, Ford or Chevy. Forests have been decimated to publish various opinions. When we moved to Alaska in 1971, I went back through old magazines my dad had and read everything I could find on the subject. I never experienced Nirvana, nothing seemed conclusive. |

Montanans who don’t pay their child support could be denied hunting, fishing and trapping licenses, under a bill presented Tuesday by Republican state Sen. Mike Lang. Lang, of Malta, told the Senate Judiciary Committee that his bill wouldn’t automatically deny someone’s licenses if they’re behind on child support – but would give child-support enforcement personnel an additional tool to tackle an ongoing problem.

Guns are one of the most deadly weapons known to man, with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reporting that about 33,736 people die from gun shots each year. While most of us understand what happens to a person who has been shot, how firearms affect the biology of the shooter is more mysterious. Here’s a short run-through of what happens to your body when you pull the trigger.

Florida could soon have looser gun laws. Or tighter gun laws. Or something. Numerous gun bills await the Legislature when it convenes March 7. From the right we have a full-frontal assault by Sen. Greg Steube, who filed a comprehensive bill — since broken into smaller proposals — to allow open display of firearms in courthouses, government meetings, on college campuses and in airport baggage claim areas.

The invitation from Joel Harris, head of global public relations at Zeiss, was an adventure-seeker’s dream: to attend an international media event in Germany and experience a traditional driven hunt, test the soon-to-launch-in-America Zeiss Victory V8 illuminated riflescope, tour the Zeiss factory and experience centuries-old hunting traditions alongside a hunt master, his hunting horn and the German hunt terriers of grand storybook fame. And in December, throw in Old World Christmas traditions like holiday street bazaars and tannenbaums and I’d have it all. Not being a beer drinker, who needed Ocktoberfest? |

When the GOP-controlled House voted last Thursday to overturn an Obama-era regulation that prevented some mentally ill people from purchasing firearms, anti-gun Democrats howled. They mocked the Republican Party for being such lapdogs to the National Rifle Association (NRA) that they would do something as plainly stupid as giving guns to people who are unstable and unpredictable.
