Two months after signing into law a measure that will allow most adults in the state to carry handguns without permits, Gov. Bill Lee on Wednesday again touted the legislation at a ceremonial bill signing inside a Gallatin gun factory.

Yesterday, the General Assembly adjourned from its 2021 legislative session.

Throughout much of his two-decade-long congressional career, U.S. Rep. Tim Ryan has been fond of saying he’ll “fight like hell” for his constituents. Today as Ryan campaigns as an official Democratic Party candidate for U.S. Senate in 2022, he’s belting out that same familiar refrain. We, however, would suggest a change of tune and direction

Mike Bloomberg and Everytown have claimed that NRA members support their gun control agenda, based on surveys from 2009 and 2012 that were immediately suspect.

A bill to allow people to carry a concealed handgun in Louisiana without a permit or training secured final legislative passage Tuesday, though Democratic Gov. John Bel Edwards has promised to veto the bill. Senate Bill 118 by Republican Sen. Jay Morris of Monroe is part of a trend of “concealed carry” gun bills being debated in
