Washington: President Joe Biden is set to sign an executive order on Thursday aimed at helping schools design active shooter drills that are less traumatic for students while maintaining their effectiveness.

Randy Kozuch, Executive Director of the NRA Institute for Legislative Action (NRA-ILA), released the following statement on today’s announcement of a new Executive Order by the Biden-Harris Administration: “This Executive Order is just one more attempt by the Biden-Harris Administration to deflect attention from their soft-on-crime policies that have emboldened criminals in our country.

Thoughts And Prayers Won’t Cut It Enough already with thoughts and prayers and platitudes. Clearly, they are not enough, or we wouldn’t have two students and two teachers dead and another nine injured (and countless others traumatized) in a high school in Winder.

These lists of pre-approved handguns require manufacturers to include costly features like microstamping, loaded chamber indicators, and magazine disconnect mechanisms on firearms, preventing law-abiding citizens from

On Wednesday, anti-gun legislators in a conference committee, took the opportunity to politicize an otherwise bipartisan school aid bill. House Bill 5503, a bill providing critical funding for Michigan schools, was amended to create an anonymous tipline for the purpose of reporting the “unsafe” storage of firearms. The legislature swiftly amended the bill pushing it through both the House

New York City requires a showing of “good moral character” to be issued a rifle and shotgun permit.  In Srour v. New York City (2023), the Southern District of New York enjoined the enforcement of the “good moral character” requirement and a separate “good cause” requirement.  I posted on the decision here.

A bombshell report from CNN about North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson, the Republican nominee for governor, didn’t exactly upend the race—Robinson was trailing significantly even before the story broke—but the details were nonetheless shocking, even considering Robinson’s history of making controversial remarks. CNN reported that Robinson made comments on a pornographic website from 2009

Vice President Kamala Harris has made a point of describing herself as a gun owner during her past two runs for the White House. But nearly two decades ago, the then-San Francisco district attorney backed a firearm confiscation measure that even made some prominent gun control advocates skittish. Harris was listed as a sponsor of

By law, the Supreme Court term starts on the first Monday in October. And so, as the leaves turn and that day once again approaches, it’s time to see where we left off last season. What makes a ‘divisive’ case? Like hurricanes, Supreme Court narratives tend to form in the summer as the last few

On a sweltering evening in the thumb pad of Michigan’s mitten, a self-described prophet promised 700 Christians under a crisp white tent that they were about to cheat death.

Este artículo estará disponible en español en El Tiempo Latino. Quick Take Vice President Kamala Harris supports a ban on the sale of so-called assault weapons, but no longer supports a mandatory buyback program for such guns. The National Rifle Association misleadingly claims that Harris will “ban law-abiding Americans from owning” guns and “seize your legally owned guns.”  Her proposal would not
