A pair of Illinois lawmakers have introduced national licensing and registration legislation that, according to rights activists, clearly illustrates how anti-gunners view the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms as a government-regulated privilege.
Congressman Bobby Rush � known for being escorted out of the House Chambers a few years ago for wearing a hoodie � and U.S. Sen. Tammy Duckworth, both Democrats, last week introduced the �Blair Holt Firearm Licensing and Record of Sale Act of 2018.� Holt was a teen gunned down in Chicago several years ago while trying to protect a friend from a shooting on a transit bus. |

The incident occurred in the Boulder Basin area while four people were walking on a hillside with a dog that startled the female. They were not on a trail or road and not close to any buildings, he added. |

The only amendment in the Bill of Rights that literally includes the word "regulated" within its very text is the Second. Yet strangely, the NRA and other gun extremists think the right to bear arms is the only one among the Bill of Rights, adopted in 1791, that should be totally un-regulated. A fellow journalist whose work I admire recently educated me about 18th-century usage of the word "regulated." According to him, the words "well regulated" in the Second Amendment are a reference to supply. In that context, he explained, the Framers were saying that militias should be �well supplied� with guns and ammunition.

A rash of firearm thefts from unlocked vehicles and garages has at least one Sioux Falls official toying with the idea of establishing penalties for the victims. Sioux Falls police this week alerted media that four handguns had been stolen since Thursday from four different unlocked cars, and a total of eight firearms have been stolen from unlocked cars in Sioux Falls and the surrounding area since May 29. At least one of those firearms was used in the commission of a crime.

Attorney and National Guard veteran Adam Cote leaned on his experience as an Army officer to assure the crowd that he �would be a leader on this issue from day one.� |

New Jersey's attorney general on Tuesday demanded that firearms companies stop marketing and selling untraceable weapons, or ghost guns. The weapons are illegal in New Jersey, Attorney General Gurbir Grewal said in a letter to the unidentified companies, and the state will sue the gun-makers if they persist. Grewal demanded the companies stop selling and advertising to New Jersey residents assault weapons that are unregistered and lack serial numbers.
