@MorosKostas I lurk in the shadows. And by shadows, I mean I check out you, @2Aupdates, and a few others on a regular basis, even when I'm not posting.
Every month or so I like to post on X just to let folks who don't read Bearing Arms or watch the Cam and Company podcast know I'm still alive and kicking. See y'all in November, probably. Maybe sooner.
This is (1) a big deal, (2) great news, and (3) one of the few times that I get to admit I was wrong about an earlier predictions...and be HAPPY about it.
Huge news for gun owners on a Friday afternoon. DOJ and ATF say federal injunction involving surpressors, short-barreled firearms, and "any other weapons" will apply nationwide, not just to plaintiffs. https://t.co/6fowOghH9y
A mom and her 2-year-old daughter were recently stabbed by a guy who's repeatedly been released from custody after being found incompetent to stand trial, but apparently Rhode Islanders don't have to worry about that since a knife was used, not a gun.
Rhode Islanders should never have to worry about senseless gun violence in their neighborhoods or schools. For many families across the Ocean State, this remains a daily fear.
This fall, we can change that by electing leaders like @HelenaBFoulkes for governor and @AhernForAG for attorney general. They share a commitment to keeping our communities safe, and we’re proud to endorse their campaigns.
You're wrong to call them minors. They're adults. And though that age range may be responsible for a disproportionate share of those crimes, 99% of that age group will never commit a violent crime at all.
Minimum age laws are in place for a reason—people ages 18 to 20 are responsible for a disproportionate share of school shootings, public mass shootings, and gun homicides.
Instead of enforcing the law like they are supposed to, the DOJ is saying it won't prosecute gun dealers who sell to minors despite federal law restricting sales to 18-20 year olds.
Trump and his administration would rather cater to their gun lobby CEO donors than protect public safety and uphold the rule of law. We can’t let this happen.
Also filing an amicus brief today is the Hawaii State Rifle Association, with the brief prepared by Alan Beck!
The brief argues that “dangerous and unusual weapons” is not a test about a type of arm. Rather, it is a common-law phrase about conduct; carrying or using a dangerous weapon in an unusual way that is reasonably likely to terrify the public. The brief presents extensive historical citation to support this core point.
I definitely agree!
🚨 UPDATE: NEW MEXICO’S 7-DAY WAITING PERIOD
According to the Governor’s Office, Judge Browning’s order currently protects ONLY the two individual plaintiffs in this lawsuit from enforcement of the waiting period.
Governor Lujan Grisham’s spokesman Michael Coleman says “the law remains in effect otherwise” and that the administration can say with “almost complete certainty” that it will appeal.
We are still waiting to hear directly from Attorney General Raúl Torrez about the state’s position and next steps, and I’ll be watching the appeal closely.
I’ll keep fighting until the constitutional rights of every New Mexican receive the same protection, not merely the two people whose names happened to appear on the lawsuit.
🔥I highly recommend you read the summary below from @RallyRights, which includes a list of “what next” scenarios.
