Proponents of the initiative promised that the law was an effective and easy way to keep "firearms out of dangerous hands"and would make "a huge difference when it comes to the rate of gun violence in a state."     NEWS  New York Politician Introduces Bill to Criminalize (He Says) the Sale and Manufacture of Firearms A politician in Brooklyn New York thinks he has come up with a brilliant solution to the crime wave currently sweeping through the Big Apple: Criminalize the sale and manufacture of firearms.   NEWS  Gun Control End Game Joe Biden and Kamala Harris want to ban and confiscate commonly owned firearms. If anti-gun politicians take control of the White House and Congress, will they stop at confiscation of semi-automatic rifles? For the answer, look to the source of inspiration for so many gun control dreams: Australia. If Biden and Harris follow the Aussie example, even Americans' toy guns won't be safe.   NEWS  The Third Time Isn't Always a Charm The Democratic National Convention (DNC) took place this week, and, as expected, the nomination of former vice president Joe Biden (D) as the party's nominee to challenge president Donald Trump (R) became official. After nearly half-a-century in the federal government, and more than three decades since he first campaigned to be president, his third run to be the Democrat candidate for president finally paid off. In 1988, during his first run, he would have been one of the youngest Democrat candidates to have sought the office. Now, in 2020, he is the oldest, from either major party, to be the nominee.   NEWS  A Biden-Harris Administration Will Make You an Offer You Can't Refuse It's no secret that most in the legacy media do not support the Second Amendment; at least, not a proper interpretation of what that amendment actually protects. It's also no secret that most of those same purveyors of "news" will do everything they can to attack President Trump, and defend the Biden-Harris ticket—now the official Democrat ticket for President in 2020—any chance they can get.
