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.

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.

Buffalo Police Credit Change in Tactic, Not Gun Control Laws, For Crime Drop
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.

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.

Indiana mall shooting and the case against "gun-free zones"
A 22-year old was able to stop a targeted attack on an Indiana mall on Sunday, but only because he violated the mall's "no weapons" policy and was carrying a handgun of his own. While the armed citizen isn't likely to face chargers, the defensive gun use is another demonstration that "gun-free zones" don't stop violent criminals, but could prevent law-abiding citizens from acting in self-defense or the defense of others.
