When The Second Amendment Is A Privilege, Not A Right :: 10/16/2019
I know the site’s been a little Beto-heavy today, but I promise, he’s not the only topic on today’s Bearing Arms’ Cam & Co. We do discuss last night’s Democratic debate, as well as O’Rourke saying today that law enforcement would come to the homes of those gun owners who didn’t comply with his proposed ban and mandatory turn-in program, but there’s so much more.
28 Criminal Offenses On His Record And He's Just 14 Years Old :: 10/15/2019
Every day on my show Bearing Arms’ Cam & Co. I highlight a story from our criminal justice system. I don’t always write an entire feature on them, but yesterday and today the stories have bothered me so much that I want them to get as much exposure as possible. Every time a gun control advocate wants to spend time, money, and political capital putting useless and unconstitutional gun control laws on the books instead of dealing with issues like this, it only demonstrates that fundamentally, their concern is with guns and not public safety.
Backers of proposed red flag [ERPO] gun law in Pennsylvania support end-around to get things moving :: 10/15/2019

Newsom Just Delivered Another Blow to the Second Amendment in California :: 10/15/2019
California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) on Friday signed 15 gun control bills into law, which expands the Golden State's already stringent gun laws, the Los Angeles Times reported. Newsom has made a name for himself because of his calls for stricter gun laws, specifically surrounding an assault weapons ban, high capacity magazine ban and the implementation of Extreme Risk Protection Orders (ERPOs), commonly referred to as red flag laws. He said the state decided to take up these bills because of Washington's inaction, a clear reference to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's (R-KY) refusal to take up bills he knows President Donald Trump refuses to sign into law.

Some Anti-Gunners Think 'National Emergency' Should Spark Gun Grab :: 10/15/2019
I read a lot of opinions on a day to day basis when it comes to the Second Amendment. In the case of letters to the editor, most of them are rehashes of what someone else says. Rarely do they contain much in the way of new ideas, and that’s understandable. Most people who write the letters are engaged politically, but they don’t spend their time considering new approaches to problems. Nothing wrong with that.
ACLU Makes Stand Against New California Gun Laws :: 10/14/2019
One of the biggest criticisms I’ve had with the ACLU is that they refuse to acknowledge that the right to keep and bear arms is a civil liberty. They routinely ignore Second Amendment concerns and have even come out against the Second Amendment in the recent past.
DC Poised to Triple Down on Early Release of Violent Criminals :: 10/14/2019

System Failure: Seattle's Criminal Justice System Is Broken :: 10/14/2019
According to the FBI, violent crime declined in the United States last year. There are some cities bucking the trend, unfortunately, and Seattle, Washington is one of them. In fact, in Seattle, crimes like rape, homicide, and aggravated assaults are the highest recorded in over a decade. This, despite the fact that gun control advocates have been able to put all kinds of “gun safety” laws on the books going back to 2014, when the state adopted “universal background check” laws.
German Attack Renews Fears Over 3D Printed Weapons :: 10/13/2019
Just when you thought the paranoia over 3D printed guns was over, it comes back like the slasher in a horror flick.
Gunmaggedon II: CA Gov Signs More Than A Dozen Gun Control Bills :: 10/13/2019
Back in 2016, California gun owners had a name for a sweeping anti-gun ballot initiative pushed by then-Lt. Governor Gavin: “Gunmaggedon.” Today, Newsom unveiled its sequel, signing more than a dozen gun control bills into law Friday afternoon.
The Ignorance Displayed by Gun Control Advocates About Firearms and 'Gun Violence' is Astounding :: 10/13/2019
Defensive gun uses outnumber annual firearms-related deaths by a factor of anywhere from to 15 to 80 times. That means Americans use guns to prevent burglaries, robberies, assaults, rapes, and murders far more often than people die in incidents involving guns.
UK Man Sentenced In Gun Smuggling Case :: 10/13/2019
We routinely hear American anti-gun cities and states blame neighboring states for their own gun issues. Chicago, in particular, is notorious for trying to blame Indiana for their violence without ever explaining how Indiana isn’t a lot more violent.
He sold illegal AR-15s. Feds agreed to let him go free to avoid hurting gun control efforts :: 10/12/2019
For more than a year, Joseph Roh illegally manufactured AR-15-style rifles in a warehouse south of Los Angeles. His customers, more than two dozen of whom were legally prohibited from possessing a firearm, could push a button, pull a lever, and walk away a short time later with a fully assembled, untraceable semi-automatic weapon for about $1,000, according to court records.
North Carolina Paper Digs Into NRA Spending, Ignores Gun Control Cash :: 10/12/2019
The Charlotte News-Observer is out with a new series investigating campaign spending and candidate donations by the NRA and the “gun lobby”, but for some reason the paper doesn’t seem all that interested in spending by gun control groups in the state.
These Gun Owners Were Able to Confront Criminals in September :: 10/12/2019
When the Virginia State Crime Commission and the House Judiciary Committee held hearings earlier this fall regarding firearm policies, it was striking how little many gun control advocates and policymakers know about basic facts related to guns and gun violence.
What Does Gun Control Have To Do With Abortion: Nothing or Perhaps Everything :: 10/12/2019
New York – -(AmmoLand.com)- Politicians should articulate sound and rational policy positions for the Nation, and those policy positions should be consistent with the import and purport of the U.S. Constitution, to preserve and strengthen it, not undermine it. Is that really so unreasonable?
