Joe Biden is pushing for his ban on so-called assault weapons in the state of Pennsylvania today, hoping that it will invigorate Democratic voters ahead of the midterms. Instead, the issue could galvanize conservatives and may even provide a lifeline for Dr. Mehmet Oz's struggling Senate campaign.

While unions and trade groups in Hollywood claim to support more oversight when it comes to gun safety on set, California lawmakers declined to impose any new mandates on the entertainment industry this year... focusing instead on legal gun owners exercising their 2A rights.

The ATF's new rules on unfinished frames and receivers are now effect, and more regulations imposing new restrictions on pistol stabilizing braces are on the way, but the gun control lobby is already laying the groundwork for the Biden administration to target modern sporting rifles and perhaps even all semi-automatic firearms through regulation in the coming months.

It's not just violent crime that's been on the increase across the country over the past few years. Traffic fatalities have climbed by more than 20% since 2020, and are on pace to be nearly twice the number of homicides this year.... so where are the calls from Democrats about the need for "common sense car control"?

Shootings in Buffalo, New York are down by more than 30% this year, but it's not because of any other gun control laws approved by lawmakers. Instead, police are crediting a shift to focus on "micro hot spots" for the drop in crime; a strategy that targets violent criminals rather than the general public or legal gun owners.

Anti-gun groups are using legislation, litigation, and the threat of regulation in an attempt to chill the First Amendment rights of gun owners and gun makers, including a new complaint filed at the Federal Trade Commission targeting advertising within the firearms industry.

A ballot initiative that would require would-be gun owners to first undergo training and apply for a permit to purchase a firearm is getting serious pushback from gun owners, 2A activists, and several sheriffs in the state who warn that even non-gun owners won't be happy with the unintended consequences if the measure is approved by voters this November.

As Arizona Democrat Mark Kelly hopes to win a full six-year term in the U.S. Senate this fall, the co-founder of the gun control group Giffords is highlighting his support for abortion but isn't saying much at all about his embrace of an anti-2A ideology.

FASTER Colorado Executive Director Laura Carno joins Cam to discuss the growing popularity of armed school staff in her state and beyond Colorado's borders, and why anti-gun activists are wrong to oppose these policies.

Gun owners are well aware of the ineffectiveness of gun "buyback" programs when it comes to reducing violent crime, but surprisingly, one public radio outlet in Texas is casting a critical eye on Houston's recent compensated confiscation event and questioning the motivations behind it.

Rebecca Schmoe has been a champion of the right to keep and bear arms for several years with groups like 1 Million Moms Against Gun Control and the D.C. Project. Now she's stepping further into the political arena by running for state representative in Kansas, and hoping to inspire other advocates to do the same.

With Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis suspending a state's attorney for “neglect of duty” and “incompetence for vowing not to enforce certain laws relating to abortion and "gender transitioning," the Orlando Sentinel wants to know why the governor isn't taking a similar stance on sheriffs who've vowed not to enforce any new gun control laws.

Anti-gun bias in the media is nothing new, but as Cam details, in the wake of the Supreme Court's decision in NYSPRA v. Bruen it's getting ramped up to new heights.

And not only a gun ban. Boulder County has also restricted where concealed carry holders can carry, imposed a ban on gun sales to adults under the age of 21, and a waiting period mandate as well. Now one gun rights group in the state is vowing to sue, and others may soon follow suit.

Gregory Koger might not have thought this one through, because as Cam explains, there are a lot of problems with his call for a national "buyback", even one that's supposedly voluntary in nature.

House Democrats are using an Oversight Committee hearing chaired by Rep. Carolyn Maloney to scapegoat gun makers and blame them for the actions of cowardly murderers and violent criminals, accusing them of putting profits ahead of public safety.

While Joe Biden says you can't claim to support police unless you also support banning so-called assault weapons, Ohio police officer, firearms instructor, and gun store/range owner Eric Delbert says Biden's push for a ban isn't supported by most officers and wouldn't do anything to make the public or peace officers safer.

The behind-the-scenes arm twisting on the part of Speaker Nancy Pelosi and House Democratic leadership continues, but there are signs that the outcome of a vote in doubt, and may not take place this week.
