The Trump presidency has led to many squishy GOP voters in the suburbs voting for Democrats. This development, coupled with the Virginia GOP being unable to find candidates who could win statewide and leaving nearly 25 percent of state senate races without a Republican opponent, led to disaster on election night. Virginia Republicans only had a two-seat majority in the House of Delegates and a one-seat majority in the state senate. For the first time in two decades, the Democrats control all in Richmond. |

Gun-rights advocates backed by President Donald Trump hope a U.S. Supreme Court clash over New York City restrictions on transporting firearms will be the Second Amendment victory they�ve been seeking for a decade.
With a conservative majority strengthened by two Trump appointees, the court on Monday will hear a case that could produce its first ruling bolstering gun rights since 2010. Its decision probably will come in June in the heat of the presidential campaign. |

Shortly after the 2012 Sandy Hook school shooting, Scott Wilson found himself thrust into the national spotlight as the voice of gun rights in Connecticut.
It�s a role he didn�t imagine earlier in his life, as a survivor of gun violence himself.
As president of the Connecticut Citizens Defense League, Wilson called for protecting Second Amendment rights as many others demanded new gun control laws after the 2012 killings of 20 children and six educators in Newtown.
�It was a horrific tragedy that was certainly not lost on me or any of us,� Wilson said. �We still felt our constitutional rights were important. More gun laws weren�t the answer.� |

While the First Amendment is the first line of defense for our Second Amendment rights, this defense must be effective. One of the ways to ensure the effectiveness is to keep the fight on as favorable terms as possible � and that requires an honest assessment of what Second Amendment supporters have going for us. |

Ector, a member of the National Rifle Association, added: "To make gun owners responsible for criminals stealing their property, I can't accept that either."
The gun ordinance might not be legally sound, said Ector, who said gun laws can only be enacted by the Michigan legislature and the federal government.
The city has 32,000 people living within its 5.1-mile borders and the incidents "were troubling."
Officials for the Lansing-based Michigan Municipal League said Tuesday they believe the ordinance is unique in Michigan. |

Michael Bloomberg made it official. Gun control godfather, financier of several anti-gun groups, is throwing his billions in to buy his way to the White House and forcing his radical anti-gun agenda on America.
It might have been the worst-kept secret in the history of presidential runs. The former New York City mayor has played an on-and-off-again tease with his presidential ambitions. In October, the Nanny-in-Chief threatened a run, only to walk it back when he announced in March he wouldn�t. Then, he said, �I am clear-eyed about the difficulty of winning the Democratic nomination.� |

The National Sheriffs� Association is leading a coalition of law enforcement and gun rights groups urging the Supreme Court to strike down New York City�s gun transportation regulations.
The coalition filed an amicus (or �friend of the court�) brief arguing that the city lacks a legitimate public safety rationale for the rule, which prohibits �premise license� holders from carrying their firearms beyond city lines or to any location besides an authorized gun club. The high court will hear a challenge to New York�s regulations on Dec. 2. |
