With gift-buying season upon us, it's natural for gun owners who enjoy target shooting, hunting, collecting or just plain plinking to want to share their enjoyment of firearms with others. What better way to do that than to gift a firearm to a family member, close friend or relative?
The first thing to remember if you're thinking about giving someone a gun is that ownership of a firearm brings with it serious responsibilities and legal obligations that other consumer products don't.

A pair of New Jersey firearms dealers found themselves in hot water of the unconstitutional kind when they were sued by the state's Office of the Attorney General for allegedly selling ammunition to undercover agents without first verifying the buyers were legally permitted to possess firearms. Permits or background checks for ammunition purchases are required in California, Connecticut, Illinois, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island and Washington D.C., making these so-called “states” membership in the Constitutional Republic of the United States of America questionable.

Anytime a court rules in favor of Second Amendment rights, you can be sure there will be a naysayer out there somewhere convinced the judges were wrong, and the guns in question should, indeed, be banned.
Such was the case last week in Barnett v. Raoul, in which the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Illinois found that two provisions of the Protect Illinois Communities Act (PICA), which ban many semi-automatic firearms and so-called “high-capacity” magazines, are unconstitutional under both the Second and Fourteenth Amendments.

The 2024 General Election is now over and as the nation, states and local municipalities prepare for new representation, it appears “woke,” left-leaning lobbying groups have taken to attacking nonprofit organizations in an ill-focused attempt to gain new support.

On November 14th, the Michigan Senate Committee on Civil Rights, Judiciary and Public Safety passed SB 857 and SB 858 making the bills eligible for votes on the Senate floor. The pair of measures would expand “gun-free zones” in Michigan, prohibiting gun owners from carrying firearms in the State Capitol Building, the Binsfeld Senate Office Building and the Anderson House Office Building, with an exception, of course, for legislators, because “rules for thee, not for me,” and all that second-class citizen stuff.

Anti-gun city councilors in Memphis, Tennessee, just won't let up in their continuing quest to squelch local citizens' right to bear arms.
Back in July, the city council made an end-run around Tennessee's firearms preemption law by trying to put a three-part gun control question on the November ballot. Despite the secretary of state's warning that the questions violated state law, a judge ruled in September that the questions could appear on the ballot.

Every November, swarms of hunters prepare to head out into the Pennsylvania wilderness in anticipation of deer season, however, some may unexpectedly find themselves on the wrong side of the law if they also possess a medical marijuana card. While shooters have long advocated for sobriety while handling firearms, similar to driving, some disagree with the law, saying that the mere permission to purchase marijuana for medical purposes should not preclude them from exercising their Constitutional right.
Warren County's top law enforcement officer and District Attorney, Rob Greene, who is one of more than 400,000 Pennsylvanians to have a medical marijuana card, is trying to change that law.
