NRA to Fight Oregon’s Semi-Automatic Firearm Ban
Why does anyone need to hunt with a semi-automatic machine gun? . . .
The National Rifle Association announced Thursday that it will challenge
Oregon’s petition to ban assault weapons.
Although Initiative Petition-43 has not yet been passed, the NRA released a
press release disclosing the organization’s joint challenge with the Oregon
Hunters Association.
The petition was filed on March 22, 2018 by a Portland interfaith group,
Lift Every Voice Oregon.
The measure gives a lengthy definition of assault weapons, which includes
semi-automatic rifles and pistols with a detachable magazine and one of
several modification, semi-automatic firearm with a fixed magazine holding
over ten rounds, semi-automatic rifles with an overall length less than 30
inches, semi-automatic shotguns with a grip and stock, a semi-automatic
shotgun with either a fixed magazine in excess of ten rounds or a detachable
magazine, a shotgun with a revolving cylinder, or a conversion kit.

Illinois Democrats Introduce National Firearm Registration and Licensing
Bills
This is our shocked face . . .
Two Illinois congressional Democrats want to take their state’s gun laws and
apply them nationwide with two bills they have introduced in the House and
the Senate.
Rep. Bobby Rush (D-Ill.) has introduced H.R.6024, which aims to “provide for
the implementation of a system of licensing for purchasers of certain
firearms and for a record of sale system for those firearms, and for other
purposes.”
Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.) has introduced S.3002, which has the same
intent as H.R.6024 and “for other purposes.” They are calling the pair of
bills the Blair Holt Firearm Licensing and Record of Sale Act of 2018.
It is long past due for Congress to have the courage to pass reasonable gun
safety laws. This is not a question of right or left. It’s a question of
right or wrong.

Water gun fight at NC high school escalates to arrest
There’s always one in the crowd who takes things too far . . .
Authorities say they arrested a 17-year-old North Carolina high school
student after he attacked a school employee and police officer during a
water gun and water balloon fight.
Winston-Salem Police said about 150 students left the cafeteria of Glenn
High School at lunch Friday and began fighting with water balloons and water
guns.
Police say the one student tried to spray the school employee in the face
with the water gun and became mad and began assaulting the staff member who
was trying to take the water gun away.

Kamala Harris’ Two Policy Priorities Will Lead California (Further) Down The
Socialist Rabbit Hole
California’s so deep into that hole, there isn’t much light visible above
them at this point . . .
During the discussion, the junior senator encouraged voters to be activists
for causes they’re passionate about, one of those being gun control. She
explicitly talked about getting rid of “weapons of war.”
“It’s a false choice to suggest you either support the Second Amendment or
you want to take everyone’s guns away,” she said. “That is ridiculous.”
One look at Harris’ Twitter feed and it’s apparent that pushing gun control
and standing up for illegal aliens are her two top legislative priorities.
California Suicide Rate Gun Control
courtesy sacbee.com
California’s suicide rate is among America’s lowest – maybe because we
control guns
Maybe. Or maybe the reason behind a decline in suicides is much more complex
than an easily packaged, self-justifying anti-gun message . . .
It is an article of faith among opponents of gun control in California that
this state’s tough firearm laws are pointless – that try as we might, sick
people will do what sick people do, and death, as ever, will have its way.
But one of the key takeaways from the stunning report released last week by
the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is the difference that can be
made by measures that keep lethal weapons out of the hands of people in
crisis.
Three points stood in relief against the CDC’s major finding, which was that
suicide rates climbed nationally by a shocking 25 percent over the last two
decades, with half of states charting increases of 30 percent or higher.
California Gun Show Crossroads of the West Ban

Concern over call for Cow Palace gun show ban
The loss of revenue is a small price to pay for striking another blow
against the gun culture . . .
Cow Palace staff readying the Daly City facility for the Crossroads of the
West’s gun show this weekend may be wondering about the event’s future after
county officials this week bolstered support for a state Senate bill aimed
at ending the sale of firearms at the well-used events venue.
Featuring rows of firearms and ammunition, the promoter’s third gun show of
the year is expected to attract some 2,500 to 3,000 people by the time it
ends Sunday night, said Cow Palace CEO Lori Marshall.
But if Senate Bill 221 is successful in banning sales of guns and ammunition
at the Cow Palace after the facility’s contract with Crossroads of the West
ends in 2020, the venue would have to search for a way to make up the
estimated $125,000 in revenue generated by the five events Crossroads of the
West hosts at the venue each year, said Marshall. She added the facility
does not receive any state funding and generates an average of $4.7 million
in revenue annually to be able to invest in facility and equipment
maintenance and upgrades.
