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.

Hunters registered 188,712 white-tailed deer during the 2020 Wisconsin nine-day gun deer season, an increase of 16% from the previous year but 9% below the 10-year average, according to a preliminary report issued Tuesday by the Department of Natural Resources. The 2020 kill included 85,340 bucks (up 12% from 2019) and 103,372 antlerless deer (up 19%). Compared to last season, the 2020 harvest increased in each of the four management regions. The agency reported gun deer license sales of 569,203, an increase of 3,337 (or 0.6%) from 2019. Nine shooting incidents, including one fatality, occurred during the season, up from four non-fatal incidents in the 2019 season and above the five-year average of 5.2. The 2020 nine-day season ran Nov. 21-29. Multiple factors favored hunters this year, including an earlier start to the season, a greater percentage of crops harvested and generally better weather. Except for a day or two of rain and high winds mid-season, DNR staff reported excellent hunting conditions. Much of northern Wisconsin also had a hunter-friendly coating of snow. The top three counties for deer kill were Marathon with 6,669, Shawano (5,904) and Vernon (5,596). The season continued a general trend toward fewer deer being taken during the nine-day gun hunt as a percentage of the total state deer kill. [full article]
