At the Republican National Convention (RNC) in Milwaukee, former President Trump has been nominated to be elected president again. Senator J.D. Vance has been selected as the Vice President candidate. No one was shot or injured at the convention. There was heightened security because of the recent assassination attempt on former President Trump.Far-left Democrats, such as Milwaukee Alderman Bauman, wanted someone, anyone, to ban the possession of firearms near the convention but outside the security perimeter. The City of Milwaukee did not have the power to do it. The Secret Service did not have the power to do it. They...

Since what happened on Saturday would be considered a mass shooting event why hasn't there been a massive call by the usual suspects regarding the need for more background checks, gun control legislation and other anti-2nd Amendment legislation. Could it be they are ok with what happened on Saturday? We have been told that "Silence is consent"This is my last Vanity for a while. Thank you for your patience.

Biden urges new gun control to ‘hold families accountable’ in awkward first remarks since son Hunter convicted on gun charges

President Biden demanded punishment for families who leave guns unlocked Tuesday — in his first public remarks since his son Hunter was convicted of three felonies for illegally owning a gun that another Biden family member tossed into a public dumpster. “It’s time we establish universal background checks — and by the way, and require the safe storage of firearms,” the 81-year-old said at a pro-gun control conference blocks from the White House. “We should hold families responsible if they don’t provide those locks on those guns.” Biden didn’t directly address the guilty verdict against his 54-year-old son while delivering...

In a one-on-one interview Monday, Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine talked about the Statehouse special session, House Bill 6 as it relates to the state’s largest bribery scandal, whether he and the legislature see eye-to-eye, and the opening of a new state park. You can watch the full interview further down in this article. The governor, who is term-limited and not allowed to run for the office in 2026, also discussed what gun legislation he would like to see cross his desk, the felony conviction of former President Donald Trump, and his crusade against Delta-8 THC products being available to juveniles....

The Truth About Guns ^ | May 17, 2024 | TTAG Contributor
Today’s gun control politicians are making it clear. It’s not just guns they despise. There are two other primary obstacles to civil disarmament that they loathe.One is the Second Amendment itself. The other, well, it’s you – the gun owner.It wasn’t that long ago when President Barack Obama lambasted gun owners who refused to roll over to his gun control agenda. Stumping for his first election to The White House, he told fundraisers at a San Francisco event of smalltown Pennsylvania voters that were left behind, especially by the political elites.“And it’s not surprising then they get bitter, they cling...

Maryland Gov. Wes Moore (D) signed legislation Thursday to create a state-level gun control center mirroring the federal office of gun violence prevention created by the Biden Administration. The Associated Press reported that Moore lauded the creation of the gun control center at a signing ceremony, saying, “Maryland became the first state in the nation to officially answer President Biden’s call.” Democrats touted the center as a way “to foster a statewide partnership with federal and local agencies to reduce gun violence.”

A proposed bill in the New York Senate is a gun control law being presented under the guise of an environmental law, warns the Schuyler County Clerk.According to County Clerk Theresa Philbin, “the Sporting Range Good Neighbor Act,” currently pending in the New York State Senate, would place heavy restrictions on shooting ranges, due to proximity to wetlands and open water sources, potentially forcing existing ranges to close.That, in turn, would prevent people from getting pistol permits. It would also mean local school shooting leagues would have no place to practice.At Philbin’s request, on Monday the Schuyler County Legislature will...

Maine Senate Democrats wrapped up their legislative session by passing gun controls in response to the October 25, 2023, Lewiston shooting, but the controls they passed would not have prevented the attack. Breitbart News reported FOX News’s observation that the Lewiston attacker used a sniper rifle which he had “legally” purchased. The New York Post likewise pointed out that police noted the attacker “legally purchased a sniper rifle with .308 caliber bullets, the weapons [sic] believed to have been used in the attack.”

A Chinese immigrant who is running for U.S. Congress slammed far-left gun control activist David Hogg this week at gun control debate, telling him that he needed to go to communist China to see what the impacts of total gun control are. Lily Tang Williams, who is running as a Republican in New Hampshire’s 2nd Congressional District, confronted Hogg on Wednesday at Dartmouth University. “I am a Chinese immigrant who survived communism,” she began. “And under Mao, 40 million people were starving to death after he sold the communism to them. And 20 million people died, murdered, during his cultural...

A Chinese immigrant emphasized to activist David Hogg what the Founding Fathers knew so well — that violating the right to keep and bear arms is the first and most vital step for any would-be tyrant. It is interesting to note that Hogg’s Leaders We Deserve PAC is currently involved in a scandal over reports that it spent almost half of the money it raised ($1.4 million) in 2023 on travel, consultants, and legal fees but less than $235,000 on its actual alleged mission of helping get Gen Z candidates elected. Hogg not only has no understanding of how guns...

Virginia Mercury ^ | March 9th 2024 | GRAHAM MOOMAW
In the first signals of how he’ll act on legislation approved by Virginia’s Democratic General Assembly, Gov. Glenn Youngkin signed a largely symbolic bill protecting same-sex marriage but took a more adversarial stance to bills dealing with gun control, reproductive rights and marijuana. Youngkin had until Friday night to take action on 84 bills the legislature sent to him on a shorter-than-usual timeline. He vetoed eight, recommended changes to 12 and signed the rest. The General Assembly finished its work Saturday without taking up any of the governor’s initial amendments and vetoes, which means they will be dealt with during...

Bearing Arms ^ | 2/9/24 | Cam Edwards
Gun control activists are thrilled that a federal appeals court has allowed the government of Mexico's lawsuit against several major U.S. gun makers to proceed, at least for the time being, because they're hoping that the litigation will lead to the obliteration of the firearms industry. A new op-ed in Newsweek from Jonathan Lowy, head of Global Action Against Violence, makes that clear. Lowy, who was formerly the general counsel and vice president of Brady's legal team, is the architect of Mexico's lawsuit, though you have scroll all the way to the bottom of his op-ed to discover his role...
