SAF Executive Vice President Alan Gottlieb noted Friday morning that there has been some confusion about the two cases. SAF and NRA were joined by the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms, the Washington Arms Collectors and five individual plaintiffs in their lawsuit, which found the city’s parks gun ban to be in violation of state law. That case has been appealed by the city.

“The federal case, as plaintiff Bob Warden noted in his statement, has never been connected to our case,” Gottlieb clarified. “The SAF/NRA case, which was filed first and has already won in King County Superior Court, remains very much alive and we are confident that we will prevail in the state court of appeals. -[source]

DEFEATED:

All three of these bills posed a fundamental threat to the rights of gun owners. And there [...]]]> A shining moment for California’s Gun owners who flexed their collective power and made their voices heard!

DEFEATED:

• AB 1810(Feuer) – Registration of Rifles and Shotguns
• AB 1934 (Saldana) – Handgun Open Carry Prohibition
• AB 2358 (De Leon) – Ammunition Registration

All three of these bills posed a fundamental threat to the rights of gun owners. And there was no room for compromise any one of the bills.

It was a fight down to midnight, but in the late hours of August 31, AB 1810, AB 1934, and AB 2358 were DEFEATED!

This is a huge win for gun owners. Thank you to all members who took time to contact members of legislature and voice their strong opposition to these bills. Your collective voice was heard loud and clear at the capitol. You stoked the fire against AB 1810, AB 1934, and AB 2358 and it paid off!-[source]

Monday’s 20-16 vote fell one short of the majority needed, but the Senate will reconsider the measure Tuesday.

The bill, AB1934, was introduced after a series of demonstrations by gun-rights organizations during which they encouraged participants to openly carry unloaded weapons. California law lets gun owners carry a rifle or handgun in a holster if it is not loaded.

The legislation would make it a misdemeanor to openly carry a handgun in any public place.-[source]

A storm of liberal anti-gun opinion is swelling to force international anti-gun policies on American citizens as NAGR continues the fight to protect the Second Amendment from international gun grabbers.

Recently we reported that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and the Obama Administration are pushing for Senate ratification of the United Nations’ “Small Arms Treaty.” The National Association for Gun Rights has taken the lead on stopping this end-run around the Constitution by contacting millions of Americans about this impending threat to their liberties, and working with principled leaders in Washington, D.C. to build a bulwark against the treaty.-[source]

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, however, said it would continue to review another section of the petition on the use of lead in fishing tackle.

In denying the request on banning lead ammunition, EPA said the Toxic Substances Control Act does not give the agency the authority needed to address that issue. -[source]

Federal law does not currently restrict private firearm transfers between law-abiding citizens whether they take place at home or at a gun show, and NAGR is taking a stand to keep it that way.

The McDonald [...]]]> WHATEVER SPIN Chicago Mayor Richard Daley and the city council wish to offer, it is their stubborn arrogance that has resulted in more gun rights lawsuits filed against the city following the Supreme Court’s June 28 ruling in McDonald v. City of Chicago that essentially nullified the city’s 28-year handgun ban.

The McDonald case – brought by the Second Amendment Foundation and Illinois State Rifle Association with four Chicago residents – resulted in a landmark ruling that incorporated the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms to the states via the 14th Amendment. The foundation and rifle association have now been joined by Action Target Inc., and two residents to challenge the city’s new gun ordinance, which appears to have been written to purposely provoke more lawsuits.-[source]

And that’s against a latest stance by the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police — including Edmonton Police Chief Mike Boyd [...]]]> An Edmonton police officer believes an overwhelming number of law enforcement officials across the country are in favour of scrapping Canada’s long-gun registry through a survey in a national police magazine.

And that’s against a latest stance by the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police — including Edmonton Police Chief Mike Boyd — who say the registry “protects lives” across the country.

“When the police chiefs across Canada say ‘we represent the police and we believe in (the registry),’ I think my survey has proved them wrong,” said Const. Randy Kuntz, a criminal investigator with the Edmonton Police Service.-[source]
