Things went from bad to worse for Washington state gun owners on April 25, when anti-Second Amendment Gov. Jay Inslee (D) signed a punitive ban on many common semi-automatic firearms. As he did so Gov. Inslee chided each and every owner of the more-than-24-million semi-automatic rifles currently owned and used for hunting, sport shooting, competition and self-defense in the United States, by saying, �No one needs an AR-15 to protect your family. You only need it to kill other families.�

The case arose before Bruen, when New York required a showing of special need to get a license to carry a gun for self-defense. The petitioner had argued that she needed a gun because she and her husband would often carry substantial sums of cash for business, but the New York licensing authorities responded that she "failed to explain why her stated self-defense needs were not already adequately and independently addressed by her husband's recent acquisition of an unrestricted concealed carry license."

When doing gun reviews, the duty of the gun writer is to be as objective as possible. My personal opinions are not as important as an honest report on the gun�s quality of manufacture, accuracy, form and function.

Democrats on Capitol Hill have introduced bicameral legislation that takes aim at the more than 2 million already highly regulated firearm suppressors in circulation. The proposal, dubbed the "Help Empower Americans to Respond," or HEAR, Act, was introduced last month by U.S. Sen. Bob Menendez and U.S. Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman, both New Jersey Democrats. The move would ban the importation, sale, manufacturing, transfer, and possession of suppressors with narrow exceptions for the devices' continued use by law enforcement or the military.
