Legislation implementing the buy-back program would make good on a commitment the government made in May in response to the mass shooting in Portapique, N.S., that left 22 people and the gunman dead.
Gun Control
Biden Urges Congress To Pass Strict New Gun Control Laws
On Sunday, former Vice President Joe Biden took a big step forward in the push to strip Americans of their Second Amendment rights.
In a statement designed to coincide with the third anniversary of the horrific school shooting in Parkland, Florida, Biden called for the Democrat-controlled Congress to get cracking to produce legislation that would impose harsh new restrictions on ownership of firearms.
Sign of the Times: Iconic American Gun Manufacturer Sold Off to European Group
The 185-year reign for Colt as a uniquely American company is over after the gun manufacturer announced it was bought this week by a European competitor.
Czech firearms company Ceska Zbrojovka Group purchased the company for $220 million in cash and stock — and ended an American tradition in doing so.
WARMINGTON: Judge rules Danforth shooting victims’ families can sue gun maker
They can’t bring back two amazing girls who had their life snuffed out by bullets from an illegal gun fired by Faisal Hussain in 2018.
But those caught in the evil shooting spree on The Danforth — a rampage that killed Julianna Kozis, 10, and Reese Fallon, 18, and wounded 13 others — are now able to sue the manufacturer of the gun used on that July 22 evening.
So now when vehicular terrorism occurs, the victims can sue the vehicle manufacturer and the company who supplied the gasoline, right? Tire makers too?
White House Reassures Gun Control Groups It Will Fulfill ‘Ambitious’ Gun Control Agenda
With control of the House, Senate, and White House as a backdrop, Biden administration officials in their meeting with gun control advocates conveyed confidence about enacting gun control legislation through legislative and executive actions that in the past had not gotten the votes.
On Wednesday, Domestic Policy Advisor Susan Rice and White House Public Engagement Director and Senior Advisor Cedric Richmond held a virtual meeting with leaders of gun control groups, including Gifford’s Everytown for Gun Safety, Moms Demand Action, and Brady, during which they discussed gun violence in America.
Watch a Dramatic Use of a Gun in Self-Defense That Didn’t Make News
If a defensive use of a firearm goes unreported in the media and nobody hears about it, does it really count?
I’m happy to report that the answer is a resounding “yes,” and I have evidence to prove it.
A man who was patrolling his employer’s property to protect it from thieves, confronted by an apparent carjacker, drew his legally carried firearm and subdued the stranger as police officers arrived and arrested the man.
Utah Eliminates Gun Permits
There’s a big change coming for residents of Utah on May 5th. The Governor is preparing to sign a new bill into law allowing most residents to carry firearms concealed on their persons without having to obtain a permit from the state.
Supreme Court to determine if police can enter a house and take guns without obtaining a warrant
In a case that could have wide-ranging effects on policing in America, the United States Supreme Court will hear arguments next month to decide if police can make warrantless searches of a private residence under the “community caretaking” doctrine.
Americans Buying Guns at ‘Blistering Pace,’ FBI Data Shows: Expert
Newly released background check data from January shows Americans are buying guns at a “blistering pace,” a firearms expert said.
“That’s undoubtedly connected to President Joe Biden’s plans to attack the firearm industry by undoing and rewriting regulations and executive actions to target the firearm industry,” Mark Olivia, director of public affairs at the National Shooting Sports Foundation, said in a statement.
Alarming: Democrats Introduce Bill Calling For Mandatory License For All Guns, Universal Gun Database, Banning Ownership Of Guns By Anyone Younger Than 21
The law also bans anyone from owning a firearm if they have “conduct that endangers self or others,” without explaining what such conduct entails*. This could potentially mean universally banning weapons ownership to someone who is a member of a political party if the government deems that political party to be a terrorist group, whether this is true or not.
Biden Early Contender For Gun Salesman Of The Year
President Joe Biden is easily the most anti-gun president we’ve ever had. Sure, Clinton didn’t like guns and passed the assault weapon ban and Obama was clearly no fan of the Second Amendment, absolutely no Democrat has campaigned on as much gun control as Biden did and won, at least not that I can think of.
Never Enough: New Zealand Set For Second Gun Confiscation
New Zealand’s beleaguered gun owners are bracing for a second round of gun confiscations following a raft of new gun control measures enacted last summer that are set to take effect on February 1. Kiwi shooters will have until August 1 to turn over their prohibited items or face severe criminal penalties.
GUNTER: Conservatives tried to get tough on gun crime — the Liberals and NDP blocked them
Remember last May when the Trudeau Liberals used the Nova Scotia mass killing as an excuse to ban 1,500 models of “military-style” rifles and shotguns owned by law-abiding Canadians? (That number has since crept up to 9,500 models and perhaps 400,000 individual guns.)
The justification given for this largest firearms confiscation in Canadian history was public safety. Somehow taking long guns away from hunters, farmers and skeet shooters was going to encourage drug dealers and gang members to stop using handguns to kill one another.
AOC suggests she didn’t attend Biden inauguration because she doesn’t feel safe around Republicans
“You knew that people would ask why you weren’t there,” CNN host Chris Cuomo said. “This was a good cause, from your perspective, of dealing with your constituency. But this was supposed to be a show of force, and unity, and you weren’t there. Explain it.”
“Yeah, you know, I think we also had very real security concerns as well, as you mentioned earlier,” Ocasio-Cortez said. “We still don’t yet feel safe around other Members of Congress and—”
The CCFR’s Court Case Could See Trudeau’s Firearms Ban get Derailed
The injunction is looking to stay the May 1st Order in Council (OIC) gun ban until the case against the ban is heard and Associate Chief Justice Gagné has delivered his ruling.
