A little noticed and virtually unreported April 15 notice posted in the Federal Register suggests the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco Firearms and Explosives intends expanding the multiple rifle sale requirement currently imposed on four border states (Arizona, California, New Mexico and Texas) to all states. Titled “Agency Information Collection Activities; Proposed eCollection eComments Requested; Report of Multiple Sale or Other Disposition of Certain Rifles,” and assigned OMB Number 1140–0100, the 60-day notice abstract declares “The purpose of this information collection is to require Federal Firearms Licensees to report multiple sales or other dispositions whenever the licensee sells or otherwise disposes...

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – Straphangers are on alert after police said a suspect attacked a man with a hammer at a Brooklyn subway station.

Apparently there’s a swell of anti-gun fervor in Oregon. The Democrats who infest that state want it to go the way of states like New York, Connecticut, and Colorado with regard to stricter gun control legislation. They don’t know what “shall not be infringed” means. During the gun control debate which shouldn’t be a debate, several notable gun control advocates have said that their suggestions, if adopted, wouldn’t end gun violence. So, not only are these people advocating unconstitutional legislation, they’re also recommending ineffective legislation. Don’t take our word for it. You can see them saying as much on the...
