"A complete shutdown of the Pennsylvania Instant Check System by the state police for a period of 60 hours later this month for a system upgrade is 'inexcusable,' the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms said today."
"'Closing down the background check system, and thus suspending all firearms transactions and concealed carry license processing simply allows the Pennsylvania State Police to obstruct the gun rights of law-abiding citizens,' said CCRKBA Chairman Alan M. Gottlieb. 'We are not reassured by a promise from the agency that it will expedite this computer system update in order to restore service as soon as possible. Access to the computers for background checks should not be suspended at all.'" ... |

"North Carolina's failure to appeal a federal judge's ruling that struck down the state's emergency power to ban firearms and ammunition outside the home during a declared emergency adds one more Second Amendment victory to the court record being established by the Second Amendment Foundation."
"'When the anti-gun lobby claims that courts have not struck down any laws on Second Amendment grounds,' noted SAF founder and Executive Vice President Alan Gottlieb, 'they deliberately ignore the fact that the District of Columbia's handgun ban was overturned. Likewise, Chicago's ban ... Maryland's draconian regulations on concealed carry were struck down, and so was the Massachusetts ban on firearms ownership by legal alien residents ... and now North Carolina's emergency powers gun ban has fallen." ... |

... "[Feldman] also knows that his preemptive surrender does absolutely nothing to impact criminal violence, and that those demanding to close the mythical 'gun show loophole' won�t be satisfied with his volunteered compromise, but instead, especially if they can progress without a fight, will use it as a beachhead from which to launch their next assault.
