Assault Weapons - Page 4

Although background checks on Black Friday were record-setting, SK Arms in Midland, TX, says sales the day after President Obama’s terrorism/gun control speech were even bigger.

A majority of Americans oppose an “assault weapons” ban for the first time in 20 years of New York Times’ polling on the topic.

As President Obama and Democrats in the House and Senate push a no-fly list recently rejected by The Washington Post and berated as unconstitutional by the Los Angeles Times, one thing is certain: the push comes at a time that conveniently distracts attention from the failure of Democrat-sponsored gun controls in California.

On December 9 conservative talk radio host Laura Ingram tweeted a quote from John Lott showing that there have been 424 mass shooting “casualties” in the U.S. since Obama took office, but 508 such casualties in heavily gun-controlled France in the past year alone.

WASHINGTON D.C.—The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday declined to review a city ordinance in Illinois restricting so-called “assault weapons.” Two justices dissented from the Court’s denying review and noted a disturbing trend against the Second Amendment.

During his December 6 terrorism address, President Obama urged Congress to act to be sure “no one on a no-fly list is able to buy a gun.”

In a televised speech from the Oval Office, President Obama tried to reassure Americans that he was properly handling terrorism and national security in the wake of the attacks in Paris and California.

During the November 24 airing of Special Report with Bret Baier, Governor Chris Christie (R) denied that he entered politics to push gun control, only to have Baier read a 1993 quote of Christie’s saying he was running for office to fight for an “assault weapons” ban.

In the wake of the November 13 terror attacks in Paris, the Violence Policy Center (VPC) suggests the U.S. ban the sale of all “assault weapons” to civilians.

On November 18, the California Department of Justice (CA DOJ) raided a Clovis home and seized 500 guns and more than 100,000 of ammunition from a man whom prosecutors have yet to charge for a crime.

In a policy paper released to explain the importance of key Second Amendment issues, Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump stresses “concealed carry…is a right, not a privilege” and contends for national recognition of the concealed carry permits from every state.

On August 16, Sen. Ed Markey (D-MA) claimed America is in the midst of a “gun violence epidemic” and suggested there were “204” mass shootings during “the first 204 days of 2015” alone.

Speaking at a House Party in Ottumwa, Iowa, on July 7, Democrat presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton said we must address the “uncontrollable use of guns” in America.

“No More Weapons!” is the emphatic message posted on this controversial Ciudad Juárez sign intended for travelers entering the city from El Paso. The 26×70-foot billboard has lettering made with seized weapons that were brought into Mexico illegally from the US. However, reportedly as a symbol of good faith toward the United States, crews this week started dismantling the sign.

On April 27 the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit ruled that a Highland Park, Illinois’ ordinance banning “assault weapons” and “high capacity” magazines is constitutional.

New information released by the California Department of Justice’s Bureaus of Firearms shows that the state’s “assault weapons” ban did not ban “assault weapons.”

With the myriad of gun restrictions and bans contained in the Secure Ammunition and Firearms Enforcement (SAFE) Act of 2013 now in effect throughout New York state, it is ironic to see New York City installing special microphones to capture the sounds of gun crime in the city.
