BREAKING :

Democrats are reportedly moving ahead with plans to take up President Joe Biden’s gun control proposals in the coming days and the National Rifle Association has already warned its members.

Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson on Wednesday signed into law a measure easing the state's restrictions on the use of deadly force in self-defense, but urged conservatives who pushed for the legislation to pass a hate crimes proposal they've so far resisted.

The Iowa Department of Natural Resources will hold its annual spring auction April 10 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Auction Solutions, 7803 Military Ave., Omaha, Nebraska. Doors will open at 8 a.m. Items up for auction include more than 600 firearms, bows, gun barrels, scopes and other assorted equipment.

The group New Mexicans to Prevent Gun Violence is teaming up with the Las Cruces Public Department to host a drive-thru gun buyback event this month. It is scheduled to be held Saturday, March 13 at the East Mesa Public Safety Complex at 550 N. Sonoma Ranch Blvd. The event will run from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., according to organizers.

Wyoming lawmakers will consider a new law allowing people with concealed carry permits to take guns into areas where firearms were previously prohibited, such as schools and legislative meetings. House Bill 117 and Senate File 67 would repeal gun-free zones in government meetings, public schools, public university buildings and professional athletic events. Only those with state-issued concealed carry permits would be legally allowed to carry guns in those areas.

MI – GUN CRIME – Violence at protests sparks conversation on open-carry gun laws in Michigan

From the state capitol in Lansing to Kalamazoo, armed protesters and counterprotesters have clashed around our state and the country. In Wisconsin, a 17-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse faces homicide charges after deadly shooting during a night of unrest. In Michigan, it is legal for a person with a concealed pistol license to carry a firearm in public. It is also legal to carry a gun as long as the person is carrying it with lawful intent and the firearm is not concealed, according to state law. Recent incidents of violence have blurred the lines of lawful intent for some. Armed protesters stood at the entrances around Arcadia Creek Festival Place in Kalamazoo, a place reserved for a unity rally, when the Proud Boys came to Kalamazoo Aug. 15, 2020. The clash of Proud Boys and counterprotesters turned violent. “Vigilante justice got us where we are, and it’s unfortunate the violence began and ended before public safety could get on scene,” said Kalamazoo City Commissioner Erin Knott. Knott and other city leaders have said the armed counterprotesters may have increased tensions and escalated the violence in Kalamazoo. “Why do we need people carrying weapons in our communities? Why do we have to have open carry? What is that all about?” asked State Rep. Cynthia Johnson. Johnson sponsored House Bill 5094 in October 2019 to ban open-carry firearms in Michigan. [full article]
