The Truth About Guns

Well, we knew this was coming. Barely had the echo of the gavel banging in the Supreme Court died down after the Court ruled 6-3 to strike down the Trump-era bump stock ban supported by Biden’s Justice Department, than a Democratic move in the Senate supported by anti-gun overlord Sen. Chuck Schumer attempted to pass legislation that would outlaw the controversial firearms accessory.

CBS News reports the attempt to pass the legislation was spearheaded by Sen.

Three teenage girls were alone in their Lawrence County, Kentucky, home one hot summer day in 2019. Suddenly, a white car pulled up and two men got out. One man started kicking in the front door. The second suspect circled around to the backyard and began breaking out a window with a shovel. The youngest of the girls, who was 14 years old at the time, found and loaded the family’s 9mm pistol and fired a round at one of the suspects, who both quickly left.

Buying a suppressor has never been easier, especially with companies such as Silencer Shop basically holding your hand and walking you through the entire process, a process that can be daunting and confusing to a first-time buyer, but really isn’t that hard. Even better, where not so long ago, wait times for approvals were taking as long as nine months and sometimes even over a year to secure, they now are occurring in a matter of just a few days.

Look at any RV message board or Facebook group and you’ll see posts about “the knock.” For some people, it’s just that they parked in the wrong place and tried to sleep against the rules or some local ordinance aimed at the homeless. For others, a stealth van life setup wasn’t stealthy enough, and someone figured out what they were doing. But, what if it’s not the police, a security guard or someone else with good (but annoying) intentions?

President Joe Biden is determined to decimate the notion that responsible gun owners should be able to responsibly teach the next generation of outdoorsmen and women recreational target shooting. His latest scheme is to shutter 98.9 percent of the Sonoran Desert National Monument to recreational target shooting.

The Department of the Interior’s Bureau of Land Management (BLM) finalized a resource management plan revision that closes off all but 1.1 percent of the nearly half-a-million-acre national monument.

Ryan Katz is an attorney with Florida law firm Katz & Phillips also known as the Firearm Firm, one of the leading gun law and gun rights supporting law firms in the country. As his firm works to keep gun owners, particularly Florida gun owners, informed of changes to laws, so that hopefully, they don’t necessarily need to become clients, Katz penned a blog post immediately following last week’s striking down of the bump stock ban by the Supreme Court.

It can be problematic to compare the sentence one criminal defendant receives to another. A judge has a wide variety of mitigating and aggravating factors to consider before passing sentence, such as the defendant’s criminal history, whether they’ve shown contrition and the facts of the crime itself. A prison term that may appear unfair to some may actually be well within the guidelines.

That said, those looking for a near perfect comparison to Hunter Biden’s criminal gun charges need look no further than The United States of America v.

When the Supreme Court ruled the federal government’s Trump-era ban on bump stocks was overreach and struck the restriction down, it removed a shadow from many gun owners who likely still owned the devices, removing otherwise honest, law-abiding citizens from the possibility of being an unintentional felon.

West Virginia defense attorney, Todd La Neve, who specializes in gun law, had this to say on his YouTube channel immediately following the Court’s 6-3 ruling last week on June 14:

“Bump stock ban ruled unconstitutional!

While there are very few things to admire about President Joe Biden, his persistence—especially when it comes to schemes that would cripple and hurt gun owners, gun makers and gun sellers—is nothing short of impressive. In fact, if it were directed toward proposals that would actually help curb the country’s violent crime problem, it would be downright admirable.

Instead, it’s the same old thing, over and over, regurgitated at public appearances where the audience can’t even tell if ol’ Joe even knows whether he’s talking about guns or gorillas.

Smith & Wesson and various .32 caliber revolvers date back to 1865 and the advent of rimfire cartridges. In 1878, the company created the .32 S&W, a centerfire micro-sized .32 caliber round. Guns like the S&W 1 and a Half chambered the little cartridge, as did the famed Lemon Squeezers, the Model 3, and more. The S&W 432 PD can easily trace its lineage back to 1878 through the evolution of various .32 caliber revolver cartridges.

In another giant blow to gross executive overreach, the U.S. Supreme court earlier this morning struck down the bump stock ban instituted by the Department of Justice under the Trump Administration.

The vote on the matter was 6-to-3 in determining that the federal government was wrong to classify bump stocks as “machine guns.”

In his opinion for the majority, Justice Clarence Thomas wrote what most people who understand and are familiar with firearms have been thinking all along.

Top gun control groups have notably avoided discussing Hunter Biden’s recent gun conviction and his likely appeal on Second Amendment grounds. As reported by Politico, these groups are reluctant to comment on the case, with one activist stating, “No, we’re not going to get in the middle of this shitstorm. Nothing good can come of it.”

Hunter Biden, President Joe Biden’s son, was convicted of owning a gun while using drugs and lying about it on a purchase form.

California gun owners could face a restrictive—and arguably unconstitutional—new firearms storage law if some anti-gun Democrats in the state assembly get their way. A measure requiring guns to be stored where they are inaccessible for self-defense purposes—the very reason many people own them—recently passed one more hurdle in the legislative process.

On Tuesday, Senate Bill 53, introduced by Democrat state Sen. Anthony Portantino was approved by the Assembly Public Safety Committee on a 6-to-2 vote.

Fox 7 out of Austin, Texas, is reporting that a Taylor, Texas, break-in was cut short the other week when a knife-wielding home invader got dumped to the ground by an armed homeowner.

Austin Sumpter, 23, was armed with a knife when he broke into a home in the 2300 block of Donna Drive on Monday, May 27 around 11:35 p.m.
