Gun Rights

I am horrified and growing increasingly impatient. Let me be blunt: I no longer wish to hear National Rifle Association-funded Republicans simply offering thoughts and prayers to those who lose family members in senseless mass shootings. Those sentiments don’t solve the problem. Moreover, no longer will I sit idly by and listen to these Republicans

Jeremy Hayes was getting ready to take his three sons to the pool when he heard a loud rap on the door.  Hours earlier, his wife Jennifer had gotten to Nashville after finishing a work trip. The Hayeses live in Illinois but bought an apartment on Church Street in 2021 as a weekend getaway —

“MAGA Mike Johnson” is the new House speaker. Who is he? The nickname “MAGA Mike” says all a voter needs to know? Rep. Johnson, R-La., is a huge supporter of the criminal defendant running for president. Johnson has opposed funding Ukraine’s ability to fight, wants to make virtually all abortions illegal, and supported Donald Trump’s “big

I’m the chair of the Illinois House Firearm Safety and Reform working group, and one of my top priorities is confronting the gun violence crisis. In Illinois, we have taken bold steps to save lives, including passing a ban on assault-style weapons and high-capacity magazines. Predictably, the gun lobby has sued to try to stop

State laws that mandate background checks and cooling-off periods for firearm purchases have proven effective in reducing gun-related deaths, according to a study conducted by scholars Patrick Sharkey and Megan Kang from Princeton University.

Another mass shooting occurred in Maine last week, and it’s a guarantee your elected officials will fail to do anything to prevent future ones. Whose fault is that? If you don’t vote or you vote for people who are devout supporters of the National Rifle Association or “your right to carry,” then look in the

The new Speaker of the U.S. House, Mike Johnson, is extremely right wing. He devised and supported a legal strategy to overturn the 2020 presidential election based on lies about massive voter fraud. He was prominent in defending Trump against impeachment and advocated expunging the second impeachment from the record.  He wants to raise the

As a member of the American Society of Arms Collectors (ASAC), we have two meetings a year across the country. It can be tough with a busy work schedule to make all the meetings, and I hadn’t been to one since last year. This fall, the meeting was held in Dulles, Virginia and I flew

Another shooting Again, innocent Americans are brutally slaughtered, this time in Lewiston, Maine. The unconscionable inactions of elected federal representatives led to the vulnerability of all Americans (in schools, dance halls, bowling alleys, supermarkets, and social clubs). This, I conclude, is a form of state-sponsored terrorism, defined as terrorist violence carried out with the active

Formerly against tightening the laws, Golden now wants a ban on semiautomatic weapons. One can understand why elected officials in rural areas, even in generally liberal states, would

A federal judge blocked California’s law prohibiting gun shows at county fairs, saying the ban infringed on the rights of sellers and potential buyers at gun shops. The decision came from U.S. District Judge Mark Holcomb on Monday and repealed a law that went into effect in January 2022. Authored by Democratic state Sen. Dave

By now it is proved beyond doubt, terror-patron Iran was the main architect behind October 7 Hamas pogrom in Israel that resulted in barbaric murder of over 1,400 innocent people and abduction of 222 Israelis, American and foreign nationals. Now Tehran has a much wider and dangerous plan. While Israel is continuing its counterterrorism offensives

The deadliest mass shooting in the U.S. this year and the worst in state history has put Maine’s two U.S. Senators’ positions on guns under the microscope. Republican Sen. Susan Collins and independent Sen. Angus King both oppose an assault weapons ban pending in the Senate, yet both say they favor some type of restriction

Sponsored by: Guns, Rifles, Firearms Sacramento, CA — A new law taking effect this year bans gun shows from taking place at state-owned county fairgrounds. On Monday, US District Judge Mark Holcomb blocked the law with an injunction, arguing that it is violating the rights of prospective buyers who can buy firearms at any gun
