Recently the comedian Sacha Baron Cohen (the same creator of Borat, Bruno, and Ali G) released the first episode of his new Showtime series called Who Is America? � where he poses as an Israeli "anti-terror" expert, Col. Erran Morad. The first episode has caused a lot of controversy, and for good reason: Several well-known gun rights advocates proclaim their support of arming children in school to "stop bad guys," even going so far as advocating for arming toddlers via a fictitious "Kinder-Guardian" program presented by Cohen's character.

At the behest of a gun rights group, prosecutors in Western New York have reiterated their position on enforcing the SAFE Act�s seven-round limit. The unanimous position is, simply, there will be no enforcement of the state law. 2AWNY, a group dedicated to supporting Second Amendment rights, earlier this year contacted district attorneys in Western New York, including Genesee, Orleans, Wyoming and Livingston counties, about whether they would �immediately be halting enforcement of the SAFE Act seven-round limit.� |

Lewis County commissioners turned sympathetic ears toward citizens who gathered Monday to urge them to disregard the gun regulations passed by Washington voters last fall � but it�s unclear if the commissioners plan to take action on the group�s proposed ordinance to declare a �sanctuary county.� �It disturbs me that there seems to be a continuing movement toward taking these basic civil rights away from us,� said county commissioner Bobby Jackson. �While we don�t agree with the law, as county commissioners we are bound to uphold the law.� |

A Democratic Connecticut state legislator introduced a bill on Monday that would raise the tax on ammunition in the state by 50 percent, prompting an immediate condemnation by the National Rifle Association (NRA) and concerns from legal observers that the legislation would be unconstitutional. In a video uploaded to Twitter, Rep. Jillian Gilchrest, a freshman legislator from Hartford, said that a companion bill was being introduced in the state Senate by fellow freshman Democrat Will Haskell. (Haskell, at age 22, became Connecticut's youngest-ever elected legislator last year.) |

Across the landscape this winter, lawmakers from Sarasota to San Francisco and Seattle are pressing for more gun control laws that opponents are uniformly labelling as extreme if not unconstitutional, and the proponents of these laws�uniformly Democrats�are getting a pass from the press when they offer the explanation that these new measures will reduce crime by keeping guns out of the wrong hands.

Scores of D.C. defendants will be prosecuted for federal gun crimes rather than face local charges in the next year as part of a citywide crackdown on felons caught illegally possessing a firearm and repeat violent offenders, four officials briefed on the plan said. With homicides in the District climbing 40 percent last year and still rising, federal prosecutors� goal is to bring all �felon-in-possession� gun cases to U.S. District Court instead of D.C. Superior Court, according to the people briefed on the plan. |

The Senate Education Committee will take up a school-safety bill next week that would allow trained classroom teachers to carry guns as school �guardians.� The bill (SPB 7030) is a follow-up to a safety law that the Legislature passed last year after the mass shooting at Broward County�s Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School occurred that killed 17 people. The law included creating the Coach Aaron Feis Guardian Program, which allowed guardians --- school personnel whose primary job duties are outside the classroom --- to be armed. |

The topic of guns is back at the Statehouse � with House Democrats and community groups pushing Monday for an open discussion on firearms regulations. �I support the Second Amendment, and I support common-sense measures to reduce gun violence,� said Rep. Carey Hamilton, D-Indianapolis. She and fellow members of her caucus have authored several bills to tighten state gun laws, but House Republicans who control the committees have not given them hearings. Instead, the GOP is considering reducing fees for gun permits and letting people carry guns to church even if the property also houses a school.

The entrance to the Seneca Sporting Range in Ridgewood, Queens is marked by a discreet sign, which sits above a gray door to a gray building. Nothing about the entrance says, come on in. But on one recent weeknight visit, the door was open and receiving visitors. And that's where Angel Avila, a long-time member of the range, was ready for a conversation on handguns.
