VA State Police Try to Calm Fears of Far-Left Governor Ordering Door-to-Door Gun Confiscation

/0 Comments/in , , /by

On Thursday the Virginia State Police (VSP) used an X post to try to calm fears that Democrat Gov. Abigail Spanberger’s gun control push will result in state police going door-to-door to confiscate firearms.

The gun ban, SB 749, targets so-called “assault weapons.” Breitbart News reported SB 749’s passage through the Virginia legislature, noting that the bill headed to Spanberger’s desk.

Although the SB 749 contains a grandfather clause allowing current owners of prohibited guns to continue possessing them, it makes clear that the possession of said guns will be illegal unless the firearm was in the possession of the individual prior to July 1, 2026.

Fears of door-to-door confiscation of banned guns arose, and the VSP’s X post appears to be an attempt to quell anxiety. (Read more from “VA State Police Try to Calm Fears of Far-Left Governor Ordering Door-to-Door Gun Confiscation” HERE)

Senior citizen who saved himself from would-be mugger heading to prison because of NYC’s ‘draconian’ laws

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A Queens senior citizen who shot dead a man who tried to rob him will spend four years in prison after admitting to toting an unlicensed revolver — as his lawyer ripped the city’s “draconian” gun laws.

Charles Foehner, 67, pleaded guilty to one count of criminal weapons possession Thursday in a deal to end his case more than two years after he fatally shot would-be thief Cody Gonzalez, who charged at him near his Kew Gardens home.

The Queens District Attorney’s Office chose not to prosecute Foehner, a retired doorman, for Gonzalez’s killing after he told cops that he’d defended himself from a mugger who lunged at him late at night holding what looked like a knife — but which turned out to be a pen.

But prosecutors slapped Foehner with a slew of weapons raps for the unlicensed handgun and for an arsenal of illicit handguns, revolvers and rifles inside his home in the quiet neighborhood.

Foehner took the plea deal to avoid a trial, where he faced 25 years in prison on gun charges that are not hard to prove, said his attorney Thomas Kenniff after Thursday’s hearing in Queens Supreme Court.

Armed Hero Stops Masked ‘Church Shooter’ with a Hail of Perfectly-Aimed Bullets

/6 Comments/in , , /by

There’s a very specific kind of mass shooting story the media doesn’t like to cover… it’s the kind that doesn’t happen because a good guy with a gun stopped it cold.

Roughly a month ago, a man stormed into a Michigan church during Sunday worship and opened fire. It could have ended in total carnage. But it didn’t. Because a legally armed, everyday churchgoer took him down. No military training. No law enforcement background. Just courage, quick action, and a gun.

This should have been front-page news. It wasn’t. And we all know why… because it doesn’t fit the left’s anti-gun agenda. They’d rather Americans believe that firearms are the problem, not the psychopaths who use them. But the truth is, more often than not, guns save lives. That’s not just a marketing slogan. It’s a fact.

The gun control lobby loves to promise safety, but all it’s really delivered is more victims. Disarmed citizens, soft targets, and a culture of helplessness. The left has built a society where law-abiding people are told to sit still, pray for mercy, and wait for the cops—while criminals do whatever they want with whatever weapon they can get their hands on.

Guns, knives, machetes, acid, bombs—you name it—evil will always find a tool. But the difference between life and death is what good people have at their disposal. Thankfully, we live in a country where the right to bear arms still exists—and millions of Americans take that responsibility seriously.

Judge Issues Key Ruling Against Gun Maker Sig Sauer in Widow’s Lawsuit

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A lawsuit filed by a widow against weapons manufacturer Sig Sauer accusing it of being responsible for the death of her husband will continue in state court, a federal judge ruled this week.

On Monday, Judge Anita Brody of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania sent the matter back to where it started, the Court of Common Pleas in Philadelphia County. Brody rejected Sig Sauer’s argument that the case should have been heard in federal court due to widow Mariya Gomelskaya being from Pennsylvania. The company is based in New Hampshire and incorporated in Delaware.

Gomelskaya had pushed to send the case back to state court due to the co-defendant, federally licensed firearm dealer Spot4Guns, being based in Pennsylvania. Sig Sauer argued that Spot4Guns only acted as a middle man between Gomelskaya’s husband, Roman Neshin, and a Texas-based online seller, and should not have been sued in the first place. Sig Sauer claimed the widow only included Spot4Guns as a defendant to keep the case out of federal court.

“Parsing Sig Sauer’s arguments would require the Court to cross into forbidden territory: ‘an improper decision on the merits’ of Gomelskaya’s strict liability claim against Spot4Guns,” Brody wrote, granting the widow’s request to send the case back to state court.

Gomelskaya filed the case after her husband, 41-year-old Roman Neshin, was “found dead ‘with a single gunshot wound to (the) right groin’ and ‘plastic shrapnel from the holster … inside his pants’” Oct. 1, 2024, court documents said. She claims the gun fired unintentionally as a result of “defective components and/or the lack of necessary safety features.

Justice Thomas Slams SCOTUS Majority For Backing Biden’s Ghost Gun ‘Overreach’

/3 Comments/in , /by

Justice Clarence Thomas slammed the majority for backing a Biden administration rule regulating “ghost guns” on Wednesday.

In a 7-2 ruling, the Supreme Court held that a rule enabling gun parts kits to be regulated as traditional firearms is not inconsistent with the Gun Control Act (GCA).

“The GCA embraces, and thus permits ATF to regulate, some weapon parts kits and unfinished frames or receivers, including those we have discussed,” Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote in the ruling. “Because the court of appeals held otherwise, its judgment is reversed, and the case is remanded for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.”

Justices Thomas and Samuel Alito dissented from the ruling.

“The statutory terms ‘frame’ and ‘receiver’ do not cover the unfinished frames and receivers contained in weapon-parts kits, and weapon-parts kits themselves do not meet the statutory definition of ‘firearm,’” Thomas wrote. “That should end the case. The majority instead blesses the Government’s overreach based on a series of errors regarding both the standard of review and the interpretation of the statute.” (Read more from “Justice Thomas Slams SCOTUS Majority For Backing Biden’s Ghost Gun ‘Overreach'” HERE)

Here They Go Again: Anti-Gunners Rush to Exploit Wisconsin School Shooting to Push Gun Control

/0 Comments/in , /by

It has only been a few hours since the news broke about the tragic mass shooting at Abundant Life Christian School in Madison, Wisconsin, and the anti-gunner lobby is already using the incident to push for more restrictions on firearms.

The shooting, which is believed to have been carried out by a juvenile, left a teacher and a student dead. Six other students were injured.

The motive behind the shooting has not yet been revealed. Police Chief Shon Barnes stated, “The suspect used a handgun,” and noted that the shooting “was confined to one space.” The suspect was dead when police arrived on the scene, according to ABC News.

Several leftists took to social media to use the shooting to call for more gun control. Singer Ricky Davila said, “It’s the guns, it’s the terrorist organization NRA and it’s the republicans who are paid by the gun lobby to block all gun safety laws.”

WATCH: Harris Promises to Shoot Someone if They Break Into Her House

/9 Comments/in , /by

In another instance of “rules for thee but not for me,” Kamala Harris, on record as wanting to ban all of whatever she describes as “assault” weapons, on record as calling for mandatory gun confiscations, on record as demanding her right to walk into any home to check whether legal gun owners are storing their equipment properly, now has threatened to shoot anyone who breaks into her home.

“If somebody breaks into my house, they’re getting shot,” she stated. “Sorry, probably shouldn’t have said that! Ha ha ha!”

The Gateway Pundit turned blunt, “Gun Control Hypocrite Kamala Harris Admits on Live TV That She and Walz Are Gun Owners and She Would Shoot Intruders, Then Regrets Saying It.” . . .

The report said, “The hypocrisy is glaring. Here is a woman who has championed gun control measures for years, pushing for an assault weapons ban, mandatory gun buyback programs, and tighter restrictions on law-abiding gun owners—yet she is quick to admit she would use her firearm.”

The report continued, “For many, Harris’s sudden revelation about owning a gun, followed by her admission that she would shoot an intruder, is the ultimate example of liberal hypocrisy. How can someone so vehemently advocate for gun control while simultaneously enjoying the protection of a firearm?” (Read more from “WATCH: Harris Promises to Shoot Someone if They Break Into Her House” HERE)

Report: Group Demands That ATF Seize Congresswoman’s Guns Citing Illegal Drug Allegations

/0 Comments/in , /by

A left-leaning activist group is calling for the authorities to seize Colorado Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert’s guns after accusing her of illicit drug use.

American Muckrakers sent a letter on June 23 to several federal and state government officials including ATF Director Steven Dettelbach, Colorado Attorney General Phillip J. Weiser and others demanding that they take action against the lawmaker.

The organization, which bills itself as a watchdog group to hold politicians accountable, demanded an investigation into the lawmaker’s alleged illegal drug use. It cites a recorded phone call with Jessica Spaulding, a “school friend and former employee of Boebert’s,” in which the lawmaker allegedly admitted to frequently using methamphetamine.

The organization alleged that Spaulding recounted an altercation in which guns were brandished while Boebert allegedly threatened her at a bar when she said she supported Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election. “I’ll shoot you in your face if you tell me you voted for Hillary Clinton,” the lawmaker allegedly said.

Report: Republican Governor Allows Gun Ban to Become Law Despite ‘Concerns’ Over ‘Practical Impacts’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Republican Vermont Gov. Phil Scott reportedly allowed a bill to pass Tuesday that is set to ban so-called “ghost guns.”

The bill, which would prohibit people from owning firearms without serial numbers, was passed without his signature, according to multiple reports. These firearms are often assembled from kits that can be legally purchased online or built using a 3D printer.

The existence of these firearms has sparked debate, with opponents arguing that they are more difficult to trace and can be used to bypass state and federal background checks.

The legislation reportedly requires the individual to take the gun to a licensed firearm dealer who would perform a background check and inscribe a serial number onto the weapon. Those who commit a crime while possessing a weapon without a serial number could also face harsher punishments, according to the reports.

The governor, in a letter to lawmakers, reportedly questioned the legislation’s “practicality and impact.” Scott explained that he would allow the measure to pass because “[a]s a public safety measure, I agree firearms should be serialized, according to ABC News and VTDigger.
