Trump can do one simple thing that would, with one stroke of his pen, save little businesses across America, bring fairness to a politically incorrect industry that voted for him and stop another attempt to bankrupt America's gun manufacturers. Mr. Trump can approve this reform to modernize our export-control language so that it includes the U.S. ammunition and firearms industry. All of the other industry sectors that were involved have already benefitted from this process, as their oversight for export was moved from the U.S. Department of State to the import-export experts at the U.S. Department of Commerce.   LASVEGASNOW.COM Nevada lawmakers consider new gun-control measures A pair of gun control measures get their first - and possibly only - hearing before a state legislative committee Monday morning.

"It's a matter of doing what's right," he said. He's not the only one who feels so strongly.   THE HILL This week: Senate GOP prepares to change rules on Trump nominees Senate Republicans are preparing to push through a rules change that would cut down the amount of time it takes to confirm hundreds of President Trump's nominees. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) teed up the resolution for an initial vote before the Senate left town, bringing the years-long fight over the pace of nominations to a head this week.   FOX NEWS High-capacity [sic] gun magazines to remain legal in California, judge rules High-capacity [sic, actually standard capacity] gun magazines will remain legal in California under a ruling Friday by a federal judge who cited a home invasion where a woman used the extra bullets in her weapon to kill an attacker and two other cases women without additional ammunition ran out of bullets.[sic, actually standard capacity]   LEGAL & LEGISLATION Nevada: Reminder, Hearing Tomorrow With New Updates, Contact your Legislators Today! Late yesterday, the Judiciary Committee announced yet another change to Monday's agenda for their gun control hearing, this time limiting the amount of time for consideration on AB 291, the omnibus gun control bill, and a time change for AB 153, to impose one-size-fits-all standards for firearm storage.  This sudden change seems to signal an alarming trend where legislation impacting our Second Amendment rights gets rushed through a single joint committee hearing instead of separate hearings in each chamber like other legislation.
