BREAKING :

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.

This year, the Transportation Security Adminstration (TSA) has added something new to its list of tips designed to help spring break travelers get through airport security quickly and without drama. In previous years, this advice has typically included general packing hacks on how to pack liquids, how to remove laptops and electronic devices for inspection and what not to pack in checked luggage.

Baltimore is piloting a software program developed by Everytown for Gun Safety that will enable it for the first time to identify patterns of gun trafficking and illegal sales.

Democrats have reintroduced gun sale background check legislation that requires unlicensed or private sellers to conduct a background check before selling a firearm. The Background Check Expansion Act introduced by Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., is co-sponsored by 43 Senate Democrats, including Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., while Rep. Mike Thompson, D-Calif., has resurfaced a companion bill in the House.

WI – GUN RIGHTS – FBI Background Checks Exceed 3.11 Million In August, Driven By Civil Unrest In Kenosha

Background checks for gun purchases surged past 3.11 million in August, reported the Federal Bureau of Investigation late on Tuesday, as civil unrest continues to drive gun sales in a frenzied bid for self-protection. Images of burning cities, police brutality, armored cars rolling through the streets, civilians toting AR-15s and clouds of tear gas drove people to buy guns even in relatively tranquil places far from the action. Civil unrest continued to dominate the news cycle throughout August, with the police shooting of a Black man, Jacob Blake, in Kenosha, Wisconsin. This was followed by protests that erupted into deadly gun violence, when teenager Kyle Rittenhouse was arrested for allegedly killing two protesters with an AR-15. “The spread of riot chaos from Kenosha” was a prime driver for gun sales, and therefore background checks, according to Brian Rafn, a recently retired gun industry analyst from Morgan Dempsey whose family owns shares in the gun maker Sturm, Ruger RGR -0.9%. He referred to Kenosha as a “Battle of Midway” between Black Lives Matter protesters and “MAGA hat guys.” Gun buyers are motivated by the perception that America is unraveling, most recently in Portland, Oregon, where someone was shot dead on Saturday as Trump supporters clashed with protesters opposing police brutality.
