In the wake of the landmark NYSRPA v. Bruen decision, some states have accepted the ruling and begun working to get their laws in compliance, although many overly-burdensome requirements may still need to be addressed. Others, sadly, have chosen to thumb their noses at the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) …

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul In an “extraordinary” session, the New York State Assembly and Senate passed, and Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) signed, a sweeping new list of gun-control laws that seemed designed to nullify the U.S. Supreme Court ruling in NYSRPA v. Bruen, a majority opinion which confirmed that, yes …

The U.S. Supreme Court invalidated New York’s “good-cause” requirement to exercise the right to bear arms in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen in a 6-3 decision on June 23, 2022. Justice Clarence Thomas, writing the opinion for the Court, ruled that the Second Amendment protects the right to …

The “sensitive” place or area debate is now underway. Any law establishing a “sensitive place”—where the lawful carrying of firearms for personal protection by law-abiding individuals may be restricted or prohibited—must be clearly defined, narrow in scope and include certain parameters if it is to be considered constitutional under the …

After the recent abuse of power by the FBI, gun owners have every reason in the world to be distrustful of the federal government. The same FBI that just raided the home of the White House’s political opponent now wants to “review” gun permit records of private citizens. During a …

California gun owners have been under siege for the past year – even by the not-so-Golden State’s standards. In September 2021, Governor Gavin Newsom (D) signed AB-173, which allows for the disclosure of highly sensitive information, including a gun owner’s name, address, place of birth, phone number, occupation, driver’s license or ID …

There’s nothing like a good, old fashioned, middle-of-the-night, smoke-filled backroom deal by Congress to violate the Constitution.   Unfortunately, this is just the type of tyranny and lawlessness that gun owners have come to expect from the Swamp in Washington, D.C.  Apparently, House Democrats are hoping to compromise internally to gain …

We do not know how the midterm elections this Nov. 8 will turn out, but there are plenty of signs that the anti-Second Amendment fervor from the Biden administration, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and U.S. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) is grounding out on a massive …

The recent heroics of an Indiana man to neutralize a murderer in a mall shows the folly of New York’s new law restricting where law-abiding citizens can legally carry a firearm with a state-issued permit. The U.S. Supreme Court’s Bruen decision struck down New York’s “may issue” pistol permit law. In response, …

In maneuvers highly reminiscent of the frantic enactment of the “SAFE” Act in 2013, “rushed to a vote only hours after it was printed,” Governor Kathy Hochul signed New York’s latest gun control bill into law on the same day the lengthy bill text was made publicly available. Legislators in the Empire State …
