House Passes Bill To Nullify ATF Pistol Brace Rule
The House of Representatives approved a bill to nullify a controversial rule from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) regulating pistol stabilizing braces. The measure will now proceed to the Democrat-controlled Senate, where it is expected to fail.
President Joe Biden has said he will veto the bill if it clears the Senate.
BUMP Act – Bill To Ban Bump Stocks
A bipartisan group of lawmakers will introduce a bill on Thursday to ban the sale of bump stocks and other devices that enable semi-automatic firearms to increase their rate of fire and effectively operate as fully automatic weapons, the bill’s lead sponsor told CNN.
Democratic Sens. Martin Heinrich and Catherine Cortez Masto, as well as Republican Sen. Susan Collins and Democratic Rep. Dina Titus, have all signed onto the bill. The proposed legislation comes after two federal appeals courts ruled to strike down a 2017 ban on bump stocks from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
The bill faces an uphill battle on Capitol Hill, where lawmakers have conceded that the recent shootings across the US are not enough move substantial gun reform measures through a divided Congress.

Proposed 28th Amendment
California Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom on Thursday said he is proposing the 28th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which will restrict gun rights.
The proposed amendment would raise the minimum age to purchase firearms to 21, implement universal background checks, create what Newsom called a “reasonable waiting period for gun purchases” and ban civilians from buying so-called “assault weapons,” according to the governor’s announcement.

Obama Praises Australian Gun Confiscation
Former President Barack Obama praised Australia’s gun confiscation following a mass shooting during an interview that aired Tuesday morning.
“We are unique among advanced, developed nations in tolerating, on a routine basis, gun violence in the form of shootings, mass shootings, suicides,” Obama told “CBS This Morning” co-host Nate Burleson. “In Australia, you had one mass shooting 50 years ago and they said, ‘No, we’re not doing that anymore.’ That is normally how you would expect a society to respond when your children are at risk.”

VA Federal Judge: 18-20 Year Olds Can Purchase Handguns From FFL Dealers
A federal judge in Virginia on Wednesday declared unconstitutional a set of federal laws and regulations that prohibit federally licensed firearms dealers from selling handguns to 18- to 20-year olds, finding the measures violated the Second Amendment.
“Because the statutes and regulations in question are not consistent with our Nation’s history and tradition, they, therefore, cannot stand,” U.S. District Judge Robert E. Payne, who sits in Richmond, concluded in a 71-page opinion.

WA Ban Won’t Hold Up To Scrutiny
Less than two weeks ago, Washington became the tenth state in the nation to ban so-called “assault weapons.”
And while the ink was still drying on Washington Gov. Jay Inslee’s signature, the new law was already challenged in federal court. All that remains to be seen is how the legal system will look upon Washington’s law.
On April 25, Inslee signed Substitute House Bill 1240, making it illegal for any person in Washington to “manufacture, import, distribute, sell, or offer for sale any assault weapon,” with some minor exemptions.

Cheap Suits
If you go by the number of lawsuits in the news these days, you’d think they were as cheap as the sale rack at a Men’s Warehouse.
They’re not.
Unless, of course, you’re one of the feckless ideologues in government service that seem to only be motivated by the passage of eyewash legislation.
As you saw demonstrated most recently, Washington State and its legislature have more than a few of these folks. Unfortunately, they’re accompanied by a governor more than willing to go along with what is really nothing more than ideological posturing.
I’m referencing the passage -and Governor Jay Inslee’s signing of HB1240. Another new law that bans the sale of modern sporting rifles, along with many other firearms.
Doesn’t seem to bother the governor nor the legislature that their legislation has little chance of surviving a legal challenge. Much less the two already filed. The challenges came from the Second Amendment Foundation and the National Shooting Sports Foundation shortly after Inslee’s signing HB1240 into law.
