�Michigan Democratic Rep. Debbie Dingell surprised CNN�s Jake Tapper by insisting that former President Trump has shared plans to put people into internment camps if he�s re-elected,� Fox News reported Tuesday. ��Yes. He has talked internment camps. You know what, Jake, you may have to visit me in one. I get worried enough when he talks about what he�s going to do to his political enemies, but he has talked about them in this with different groups of people.�

The phrase "bearing arms" means to carry them. That's a key point in the phrase "the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."
The issue is that there are some people who shouldn't be bearing arms. If you're drinking, for example, you should probably leave the gun at home. But a Texas law seemingly along these lines goes way too far, and now the law is being challenged.

The lawmaker representing Delta North Senatorial District, Senator Ned Nwoko, has defended his proposed bill that will allow Nigerians to bear arms for self-defence stating that it could serve as a deterrent against criminal activities, particularly kidnappings.
When asked if Nigerians carrying arms will solve the nation�s security problem, Nwoko, in an interview with Channels TV on Wednesday, said, �Oh, it will. It will.�
Nwoko then shared a personal story of loss, recounting how his Senior Legislative Aide (SLA) was killed in a kidnapping incident last November. |

Trump called Cheney �a deranged person,� then added: �But the reason she couldn�t stand me is that she always wanted to go to war with people. If it were up to her we�d be in 50 different countries.�
After calling Cheney �a very dumb individual," he said: "She�s a radical war hawk. Let�s put her with the rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her. OK, let�s see how she feels about it. You know, when the guns are trained on her face.
�You know they�re all war hawks when they�re sitting in Washington in a nice building saying, oh gee, well let�s send 10,000 troops right into the mouth of the enemy,� Trump said. |

Cameron Peterson, a 20-year-old is accused of targeting multiple locations.
�He was okay; he was normal,� said Toni Gaytan clerk at Comal Pawn Shop.
Gaytan and Glenn Avriett, both employees at the Comal Pawn Shop in New Braunfels, recently learned that Peterson pleaded guilty to one count of attempting to receive a firearm to use and commit a felony.
�Here I was talking to a guy that was gonna go do bad things,� said Gaytan.
Avriett says when Peterson first came in January of this year, he attempted to order a gun online for pickup at the shop. However, after running a background check, the shop found he was too young to buy it. |

Vance had not yet been revealed as Trump's running mate, but he had been in talks with the former president about an official announcement. When he heard the news of the failed assassination attempt on Trump at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, he said he ran home to grab his guns.
"At first I was so pissed, but then I go into like fight or flight mode with my kids," he shared on Rogan's popular podcast. "We were at a mini golf place in Cincinnati, Ohio. I grab my kids up, throw them in the car, go home and load all my guns. And basically stand like a sentry in our front door, and that was my reaction to it." |

Attorneys for the state and Cook County, however, argue the assault weapons covered under the laws are modern variations of guns first developed in Nazi Germany during World War II, the Sturmgewehr 44. That weapon�s design was later adapted and modified by the U.S. military into a weapon known as the AR-15, which was later �rebranded� as the M-16 rifle.
Briefs filed in both cases also offer graphic descriptions of mass shootings in which assault weapons have been used to illustrate how their lethal power is many times that of smaller weapons like a 9 mm handgun. |

According to the Onslow County Sheriff�s Office, Sadie Floyd shot and killed 28-year-old Colton Bush in her home on Bear Creek Road just after midnight on October 7. The shooting followed what officials described as a series of escalating incidents that had previously led to multiple domestic violence protective orders against Bush. |

Let�s be honest, if any of us were a character in the top horror movies, we wouldn�t hide in a closet and merely wait for our end to come via knife slashing, hockey mask wearing, thrift store apparel reject or walk into a dark barn looking for Barbara�unless she�s super hot AND unless we were strapped like the Terminator looking to snuff Sarah Connor. So, let�s consider what firearm might finally put these slasher stars down�for good�and give you a fighting chance to walk away physically unscathed�even if your mind remains a little freaked out. |

I�ve been voting since the mid-1980s and have heard from people countless times about how important the vote for president is, but then these same people had no idea who their state representatives were. Sure, election yard signs for president are important, but political yard signs and voting are not enough. Regular contact with your state and local reps is vital to maintain a true understanding of where your representatives stand, and you cannot rely on political organizations either. The Republican Party will back the Republican, but you cannot just give candidates a free pass because the party, or even a gun rights group, gave them the thumbs up. |

A federal appeals court has rejected a challenge to the District of Columbia�s ban on extra large capacity magazines.
A split panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruled against four gun owners who argued that they needed magazines that hold up to 17 bullets for self-defense.
U.S. Circuit Judge Patricia Millett, a Barack Obama appointee, and Senior Circuit Judge Douglas Ginsburg, a Ronald Reagan appointee, sided with the district, while U.S. Circuit Judge Justin Walker, a Donald Trump appointee, dissented. |

A three-judge panel of the Oregon Court of Appeals will �take under advisement� arguments made this week in the state�s appeal of a ruling by Harney County Circuit Judge Robert S. Raschio that tenets of Measure 114�passed narrowly by voters in November 2022�are unconstitutional under the Oregon constitution.
According to Oregonlive and the Portland Oregonian, the gun control measure, which was approved by a slim 50.7 percent margin, remains in limbo. The state appealed Raschio�s decision, and Senior Assistant Attorney General Robert A. Koch on Tuesday asserted his ruling was �far off track,� the report noted. |

The Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) announced Tuesday it has filed a new lawsuit challenging Texas laws that prohibit carrying firearms at certain public locations, including businesses that primarily serve alcohol, racetracks and sporting events. The suit, Ziegenfuss v. McCraw, seeks to end what the plaintiffs argue are unconstitutional restrictions on law-abiding citizens� right to carry firearms in public.
Filed in a Texas federal court, the lawsuit asserts that current restrictions on carrying firearms at these locations are excessive and cannot be justified by historical precedent. |

Santa Rosa�s Montgomery High School might have avoided a tragedy Wednesday when police arrested a 16-year-old student for having a loaded handgun on campus. It was the second such incident at a Santa Rosa high school within a week. A new school board and a first-year superintendent have their work cut out for them ensuring not only that campuses are safe but also that parents and students feel safe. They can start by putting school resource officers back on campus. |

On the evening of Oct. 26, a hunter shot and killed a sow grizzly bear in self-defense while it was charging him as he was elk hunting along the Idaho-Montana border, near Mule Meadows on the Caribou-Targhee National Forest.
The hunter was hiking through thick timber when the grizzly came out of the brush only a few yards away, charging directly toward him. The hunter used his hunting rifle to shoot the bear, killing it at a very short distance and before it was able to make contact. |

Across the country, the number of people injured or killed in road rage incidents involving a gun has doubled since 2018, according to data from the Gun Violence Archive, a nonprofit research group. There is no uniform definition of aggressive driving across law enforcement agencies and no national database to track it, but DeSoto has been keeping his own tally, including cases in Texas involving guns, knives, ice picks, 2-by-4s, tire tools, PVC pipe, plumbing pipe, bats, hammers, shovels, hatchets, ball bearings, marbles, frozen water bottles, bricks, stones and, in at least one instance, a spear.
Ed.: Hm. No swords, even though sword carry is legal most everywhere in Texas. Perhaps Texas swashbucklers are few and far between. |

Kamala Harris, Donald Trump, Tim Walz and JD Vance all have something in common. All four of them, along with an estimated 42% of American adults, have lived in a home with at least one gun.
Gun ownership in the United States is widespread and cuts across all sorts of cultural divides � including race, class and political ideology. Like all mass experiences in American life, owning a gun can mean very different things to different people.
One thing that American gun owners tend to agree on, no matter their differences, is that guns are for personal protection. |

Serrano, a Republican and mayor of Pasco in Southern Washington, has helped levy multiple lawsuits against the state challenging its gun control laws, including a ban of �ghost guns� � firearms without serial numbers � and the sale of assault-style weapons.
Meanwhile, Brown, a Democrat and former U.S. Attorney for Western Washington, helped write Initiative 1639, a state law passed in 2018 raising the minimum age to buy a semiautomatic rifle from 18 to 21. The law also imposed new requirements to take possession of the weapon, including a 10-day waiting period, an enhanced background check and completion of a firearm training course. |

As Halloween approaches, New York Attorney General Letitia James has issued a consumer alert on Tuesday, cautioning businesses and online retailers against selling realistic-looking toy guns in violation of New York law. The warning serves as a reminder that toy guns sold in the state must be brightly colored or made entirely of transparent or translucent materials to prevent confusion with real firearms. |
