LET FREEDOM RING: New Hampshire Governor to Veto all Gun Control Bills

By Jose Nino New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu made waves in 2017 when he signed Constitutional Carry into law. However, in 2019, gun control is likely coming to his desk thanks to New Hampshire’s Democrat-controlled state legislature. He had previously told Democrats that gun control is not one of his priorities. The measures coming to his desk are universal background checks, “gun-free” zone expansions around schools, and the creation of waiting periods for firearms sales. These bills were approved by largely party-line votes. Sununu declared that he “absolutely” plans to veto all gun control legislation that Democrats pass. A...

Gun Owners Outraged as New Zealand Government Refuses to Pay Full Price for Banned Firearms

by AWR Hawkins Gun owners in New Zealand are outraged that the government is doing a forced buyback of “military style” semiautomatic rifles but refusing to pay full price for the firearms. The New Zealand Herald quoted Council of Licensed Firearms Owners spokesperson Nicole McKee, who said, “Some of the offered prices for higher-end firearms are well out of kilter.

Eric Swalwell: ‘Prosecute’ Those Who Defy AR-15 Ban

by AWR Hawkins Democrat presidential hopeful Eric Swalwell (D) used a Thursday morning tweet to push prosecution for those who defy his proposed AR-15 ban. His plan rests on a forced buyback of AR-15s and other commonly owned semiautomatic rifles. Swalwell has been pushing this confiscatory gun control for over a year. He initially intimated the government could nuke Americans who refused to comply with the plan, then softened the punishment by telling CNN’s Jake Tapper that the non-compliant would simply face jail time. He also added a third option, indicating that those who did not want to give their guns to the government...

We Should Debate Whether Handgun Ownership Should Be Allowed

by Jeffrey Cimmino Follow @jeffcimmino Rep. Seth Moulton (D., Mass.), a Democratic presidential candidate, said there should be a debate in the United States about whether ownership of handguns should be permitted during an interview with the New York Times. The New York Times asked Moulton and other candidates whether anyone would own handguns in an ideal world. “In an ideal world, we would not have weapons of war on our streets,” Moulton began. “That’s the bottom line.
