As Michiganians, we generally want the same things. We work hard for our families, want our kids to go to good schools -- and want to get there on safe roads. At the end of the day, we want our communities to be safe places where our kids can grow up, regardless of where we live in this state.
Senseless gun violence makes that impossible.
There are a lot of responsible gun owners in Michigan. Like many people in our state, I have my CPL and I support the Second Amendment. But supporting the Second Amendment and implementing sensible, life-saving gun laws are not mutually exclusive. Gun violence claims the lives of 1,163 Michiganians every year. That means that someone is killed with a gun in Michigan every eight hours. |

Hawaiʻi Attorney General Clare E. Connors has joined an 18-state coalition defending Vermont in its effort to ban large-capacity magazines. Supporters of the legislation say it is designed to prevent gun violence and protect public safety.
In a friend-of-the-court brief Connors and her counterparts argue that states have the right to enact reasonable firearm restrictions that reduce the number of deaths and injuries caused by gun violence. |

During a public hearing in the DFW Metroplex, dozens of citizens waited hours to testify against legislative proposals aimed at preventing mass shootings—including controversial “red-flag” laws.
The hearing was convened by the Texas House Select Committee on Mass Violence Prevention and Community Safety, formed along with a companion Senate committee in the wake of shootings in El Paso and Odessa in August. Gov. Greg Abbott also formed a Texas Safety Commission and issued eight executive orders “intended to bolster the public safety coordination that can prevent mass shootings.” |

“This is a perfect example of why Constitutional Carry is so important for the state of Oklahoma. Adam was pulled over by an officer for a simple traffic violation and after providing his driver’s license was asked if he has any weapons in the vehicle. Adam stated yes and was ordered out of the vehicle. The firearm was removed from the combat marine veteran and unlawfully confiscated. Since he is an Oklahoma resident, he should have been issued a $70 citation according to 1289.13A of the Oklahoma Self-Defense Act. Had he been from any of the other 15 Constitutional Carry States he would not have been in violation of Oklahoma Self-defense Act laws.” |

The results show 92 percent of Illinoisans support making mental health background checks more stringent. That’s about the same number as a similar survey from last year. Another 74 percent back the idea of banning assault weapons, a big jump from 2018. While there is a partisan split on that question, a majority of both Democrats and Republicans are in favor.
Meanwhile, 88 percent support requiring fingerprints to get a Firearms Owner’s Identification (FOID) card, and three out of four Illinoisans favor banning high capacity magazines. |

Recently, a deranged leftist (pardon the redundancy) got angry with me for talking publicly about my firearms collection. Apparently, he not only opposes my ownership of guns but also does not want me to discuss them. In other words, he is one of those Beto O’Rourke leftists seeking to eviscerate both the First and Second Amendments. He even decided to write one of my bosses and petition for my termination after I refused to stop tweeting about firearms. So I am going to respond to his demands in the only reasonable way I can: I’m going to start writing about firearms more often to remind him that he is dealing with an alpha male, not a Beto male. |
Taurus Has A New 9mm And It Looks Like A Winner

Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to test and evaluate a number of Taurus handguns, including revolvers from .38 Special to .44 Magnum, and semi-autos ranging upwards from 9mm to .45 ACP.
They have worked, often superbly and never poorly. From a compact pocket pistol to the company’s rendition of a Model 1911, all of these experiences were eye-opening and tended to reinforce the notion that one can still find an affordable handgun that works.
So, when Taurus recently announced the G3 self-loader in 9mm my curiosity was more than piqued. And a Taurus announcement reported, not surprisingly, the pistol has garnered “tremendous response from dealers, consumers and the firearms media.” |

When we talk about the need for the NRA to get involved in cultural engagement in order to establish a pro-Second Amendment culture, some might question the need. After all, Hollywood’s bias is well known, it’s arguably baked into the planning many Second Amendment supporters have. But this will matter – a lot – even if – correction, especially if the Supreme Court case on New York City gun regulations ends up with a favorable ruling. |

If you, as a concealed weapon carrier, are involved in a self-defense deadly-force shooting, the burden of proof is generally on you to show that you legally used your gun, according to the laws of your state and/or jurisdiction and federal laws. Using the latest advanced and high-resolution technology in a weapon-mounted camera can be very helpful to supplement the several usually-inferior quality videos captured by others on their cell phones, etc. Some say cameras worn on the body are not that effective. |

The Democrat candidates for president are issuing extreme proposals like a bunch of drunks who stayed at the bar too long. Now, the candidates are competing to see who can come up with the wildest schemes as they vie for media attention. Beto O’Rourke got some press coverage when he called for forced confiscation of mid-range semi-automatic rifles. Desperate for attention, Kamala Harris and Cory Booker flashed some confiscation of their own. None of the Democrat candidates criticized firearms confiscation. Are these extreme proposals appealing to the Democrat base, or is there a larger motivation?
