Gun Control

Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer has called President Trump “the gravest threat to American democracy.”  Nonetheless, Schumer wants to erase the Second Amendment.  House minority leader Hakeem Jeffries calls Trump a “racial arsonist” and urges supporters to “fight” the Trump administration “in the streets.”  Still, Jeffries wants to limit gun ownership and confiscate Americans’ firearms.  

The gun control lobby is crowing today after a jury in Baltimore slapped a Maryland gun store with a $62 million verdict for “flooding the city” with unserialized firearms.

Baltimore, working hand-in-hand, with the gun control group Brady, sued Polymer80 and Hanover Armory in June, 2022, a couple of months before Joe Biden’s ATF began enforcing a rule treating “buy, build, shoot kits” as firearms that needed to include a serialized frame or receiver, even if it wasn’t in completed form when it was sold.

OTTAWA—Canada’s gun buyback scheme is in the “final stages” of design and will be completed “no later” than the end of 2026, Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree said Monday, as he warned hesitant provinces and law enforcement agencies it’s their obligation to implement the law.

In an interview with the Star, Anandasangaree confirmed an October 2025 amnesty deadline will have to be pushed back, but reiterated the Carney government plans to move forward with the plan to buy back thousands of “assault-style” weapons it has banned since 2020.

A woman in Joliet, Illinois used her handgun to defend herself and her baby last Friday night, shooting and killing the stranger who broke in to her home.

According to Joliet police, the incident happened around 10:30 Friday evening, and thankfully the woman wasn’t defenseless when the intruder gained entry to her home.

There’s no real debate about 9/11 being the worst massacre in American history, at least within the context of someone or a group killing as many people as quickly as possible, generally in a single day.

But before then, there was another massacre that reigned supreme, and while it involved plenty of guns, making it an exception to my look at massacres of the past where they weren’t used, it’s actually a great example of why we need the Second Amendment.

See, this one was carried out by the United States government.

OTTAWA—Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss?

The Liberal government vowed once more in the April election campaign that it will finally complete its long-delayed plan to buy back more than a 100,000 long guns it has banned across the country. But Prime Minister Mark Carney is all but certain to need one more deadline extension.

Ottawa appears to be moving ahead with efforts to get police forces, or anyone else, to take on the task of collecting the weapons from gun owners, but with no plan announced yet and a looming deadline, stakeholders and insiders expect the government to push back for a third time the amnesty order that protects the owners of more than 2,000 variants of “assault-style” weapons that were banned in 2020.
