Today, the Supreme Court has decided to put bump stocks back into civilian hands. These accessories turn semi-automatic weapons into the functional equivalent of machine guns — weapons that have been banned by Congress since the 1930s. The move to prohibit the sale and use of bump stocks was done at the direction of the Trump administration with broad bipartisan support because it was clear that the availability of such weapons could only lead to death and destruction. The Supreme Court’s decision has not only stripped the ATF — the sole federal agency with oversight over the gun industry — of its power to uphold long-standing gun laws, but it has inevitably put American lives in danger. We need your help urging Congress to pass legislation to regulate these weapons of war before tragedy strikes again. Please use the form below to make your voice heard! https://lnkd.in/e7ivV58i

In honor of my personal hero and the namesake of Brady: United Against Gun Violence, join me in a week of action against gun violence. Here are ways for everyone to get involved to help #EndGunViolence from wherever you are. If you own firearms, make sure they are stored locked, unloaded, and separated from ammunition. Text your friends and family members who own guns to ensure they are safely stored, too. 1. Call your congressperson and urge them to renew the assault weapons ban, repeal the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA), and ensure extreme risk protection orders (ERPOs) are made available in every state. 2. Sign up to volunteer with Brady! 3. Contribute to Brady. 4. Learn about the #ShowGunSafety pledge. Make sure to follow me on Instagram (@kristinbrown68) for more reminders about how you can take action. See you there!

𝐓𝐎𝐃𝐀𝐘: 𝐋𝐞𝐁𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐜 𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐩𝐬 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡 𝐨𝐧 𝐋𝐢𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥𝐬’ 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐠𝐮𝐧 𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐥 “The Liberals were able to use gun control as a wedge against then-Conservative Leader Erin O'Toole in the 2021 federal election, but they have tied themselves in knots on the file in this Parliament. Dominic LeBlanc took over the file in the July 26 cabinet shuffle, which saw his predecessor, Marco Mendicino, booted from cabinet entirely. Gun rights groups have been against this bill since it was introduced in May 2022 with a focus on restricting handguns. But the Liberals also upset #hunters, the Assembly of First Nations, and several of their own rural MPs last November—when the bill was already going through clause-by-clause consideration at the House Public Safety Committee (#SECU) —by introducing 300-plus pages of amendments that significantly broadened the scope of the bill to include bans on 'assault-style' weapons. The #Liberals withdrew the contentious amendments in February and proposed a new 'assault weapon' ban in May that would apply only to new [legal] firearms. This angered some gun-control advocates who say the government secured their initial support for the #handgun bill, in May 2022, by promising to add a comprehensive assault-weapon ban later in the process.” Read more from Kevin Philipupillai at The Hill Times: https://lnkd.in/ezYwjSUE #cdnpoli #polcan #onpoli #guncontrol #ScrapC21 #canada #ontario #quebec #manitoba #saskatchewan #alberta #britishcolumbia #newbrunswick #novascotia #pei #newfoundland #northwestterritories #nunavut #yukon #linkedin #viral #news #politics #read #firearms #firearmnews #HillTimes #LeBlanc Véronique LeBlanc Liberal Party of Canada • Parti Libéral du Canada #guns

Don't be Complacent. The recent events in Maine, where a clearly mentally ill, but weapons trained, man killed people despite, 1. Maine being a permitless concealed carry state, and 2. Having a "Yellow Flag" law which apparently was ignored, gives a clear warning against being comfortable and complacent even in gun supportive states. If you are comfortable and capable, carry for your protection, and those around you. As usual, POTUS has again demanded more gun laws, which would only disarm legal and sane gun owners. As usual, existing law seems to have been ignored. We know he threatened a military base, and NO ONE thought to invoke the existing yellow flag law. We don't need more laws, we need to use the existing ones. Carry, don't be Complacent. USE the laws that exist to disarm the dangerously mentally ill. #guns #2ndamendment #redflaglaw

As Secretary Becerra continues to guide the nation through a transformation in healthcare technology and treatment that transitions us from a reactionary illness based treatment system to one that is more proactive, and wellness based; We must also look to eliminate those things that take life, such as gun violence. The Department of Health and Human Services continues to partner and collaborate with the White House on initiatives to address and improve measures on assault weapons and gun violence nationwide. Assault weapons should not be available for public purchase. America needs a comprehensive gun law program which evaluates how we distribute firearms within our communities without violating constitutional rights. Guns are the #1 killer of children in the United States! - more than car accidents - more than cancer And over the past TWO decades, more high school students have died from gunshots than on-duty police officers and active-duty military Soldiers combined. We CAN’T just standby and let this continue to happen to our babies! White House news clip on gun safety: https://lnkd.in/eZ99ueNw

This Government is currently dismantling many ideals our citizens wanted. The "gun" issue is just one aspect. Death's of our Citizens and visitors must not be forgotten...Muslim's are multicultural; tax paying, educated citizens of this country. Last time I looked we are an independent country. We have still got more sheep than humans, however us "Citizens" don't blindly follow....this "triple leadership Government" is fast tracking us to be so far up USA/Australia's butt; we can't find our way out. Time to think for ourselves. If/When war happens; we will be wiped out; having automatic weapons will not benefit any citizens of New Zealand. Crime with weapons still happening, maybe this Government needs to focus on that rather than increase criminals chances of procurement of lethal force!
It's a little under the radar, but the government is quietly getting ready to change our gun laws, reversing the consensus that was achieved after the horror of the March 15 Mosque shootings. The law we passed to largely ban Military Style Semi-Automatic weapons has made our country a safer place, and any move to increase the number of them in circulation creates a greater risk that a person with ill-intent can inflict mass casualties in mere seconds. The small benefit being advanced by the government - allowing certain classes of competitive shooting to occur just doesn't outweigh the risk, and the duty to keep people as safe as possible. I was immensely proud of the work of our parliament to pass this law and the small part I played in it, and am astonished that the government is considering this just five years after the March 15 massacre. The cooler heads in the National Party should rein this in now, and if not it is time for communities to mobilise. More below:

The Biden-Harris reelection campaign is circulating memos and reaching out to friendly media to make the case that President Biden will use a second term to usher in gun control’s radical unconstitutional agenda. That includes banning America’s most popular-selling centerfire rifle, the Modern Sporting Rifle (MSR). That also means defying the will of Congress. White House officials are playing up bipartisan efforts but are making it clear that they are willing to strike out unilaterally if Congress doesn’t knuckle under to their demands. The presidential election is less than a year away and the primary means of preventing these efforts is through the ballot box. https://lnkd.in/gURdzr9x #Election2024 #GunControl #MSRBan #PresidentBiden

Today, Rep. Jim Jordan, Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee and a candidate for the next Speaker of the House of Representatives, is holding a hearing on "Victims of Violent Crime in the District of Columbia.” The House Committee on the Judiciary should be focused on real solutions, like strengthening our background check system to prevent dangerous individuals from getting their hands on guns in the first place, stopping rogue gun sellers and dealers from funneling firearms to traffickers and straw purchasers, and holding bad actors up and down the industry supply chain accountable. Instead—with stunts like this, gun extremists are choosing to prioritize politics over public safety. Our statement:
