Looks like Biden is Ready to Move on Gun Control

Or how about the bills banning any round that can pierce a police vest that come up from time to time. That would pretty much ban any and all rifle rounds along with many handgun rounds.

My thought (which is worth exactly what you pay for it) is that we're going to have to get a solid "What firearms are protected?" case before the Supreme Court before Thomas and one or more of the other conservative members step down. The liberal, gun-grabber lawmakers are just going to keep turning the screws unless/until the SCOTUS finally steps in and says, "No!" If we lose one of two seats on the SCOTUS during a Democratic administration, we can kiss the 2A and the RKBA goodbye.

What makes you think that even a 6-3 decision (because the lib justices will lib) stating “The right of all individual citizens to keep and bear arms for defense of self, community and state cannot be questioned” would even slow them down?

At this point I sometimes think they are actually hoping to bait "the right" into using their ARs on cops, so they can go all martial law "round them up".

It's that gasbag Chris Murphy, so who knows how accurate the number is, but he claims that over 60% of counties in the US are refusing to implement the gun laws these jackwagons are passing.

I don't think he realizes that stating that the majority of local jurisdictions in the country refuse to follow his bans is not the win for his side that he thinks it is.

Does the vote on HR1808 reset when the new house members take their seats or does it stay active in the senate?

[dogmush]

It dies if not enacted before the end of the Congress.

[WLJ]

Thought so and what I was hoping.
Though that means expect a full on effort to push it through the senate before then. Jan 3 I think?

Dec 21 is the last scheduled day for Congress to be in session. Dec 31 is the scheduled adjournment.  I have no idea how easy or hard it would be to add days to the work schedule at this point.  The bill seems to be stuck in the Senate judiciary committee currently.

They don't have the will to push it through, no matter how much noise they're making.  It's easy to play chicken with that particular third rail but they're evil, not stupid.

State Senator has introduced a bill that exempts Shelby (Memphis) and Davidson (Nashville) counties of TN from permitless carry and carry permits to be required in those counties.

WHAT? Exempt From Constitutional Carry?!?

Says CDC deleted gun defensive use stats off their site after gun control groups made complains about the stats. Since it didn't match up with their "stats" it must be wrong.

Twitchy has picked up the story

    For years, the CDC's "fast facts" website on gun violence included a reference to the range of estimates on how often guns were used in self-defense (60,000 to 2.5 million per year) and a link to a CDC review of studies on the topic. https://t.co/tKmo3v3BNg

    — Stephen Gutowski (@StephenGutowski) December 15, 2022

    However, after the White House and Senator Dick Durbin's office helped connect them with CDC officials, a group of gun-control advocates disputed the higher end of the estimate and said the CDC referencing it made passing new gun restrictions difficult. https://t.co/tKmo3v3BNg

    Domestic terrorists are the #1 threat to our nation & they are heavily armed with weapons of war. @SenSchumer should schedule a vote ban assault weapons to keep Congress safe. If the insurrectionists were armed with AR15s, we would not be living in a democratic nation right now. https://t.co/4Cln1CcMfn

But they didn't did they.  Guess that fact is lost on CAP Action.
Wait a minute. Were any guns actually found on the "insurrectionists"?
Besides, I thought the govt had F-15s and nukes making AR-15s useless

Shouldn't CDC quit doing or saying anything at all about guns? Pretty sure they should.

Read today that the new ghost gun rule goes into effect.

https://thehill.com/regulation/legislation/3614421-atf-goes-after-ghost-guns-as-new-rule-takes-effect/

The new rule requires that retailers run background checks before selling parts kits that someone could use to assemble a firearm, clarifies the definition of frame or receiver and identifies which parts of the firearm must be marked with a serial number.

The rule also requires that gun retailers and gunsmiths add a serial number to guns printed on 3D printers or any nonserialized firearms they accept for resale or purchase.

The time for which gun retailers must retain records has also been increased from two decades to the entire time in which the retailers are licensed. The Justice Department noted that ATF had been unable to trace many firearms that were reportedly used in homicides and violent crime due to the destruction of records after 20 years.

Update

A federal judge in Texas has granted a preliminary injunction against the federal government’s enforcement of the final rule regarding partially manufactured firearm parts and kits in a case known as VanDerStok v. Garland, which challenged the authority of the Justice Department and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) to regulate items that are not firearms, as if they were firearms
