An interview with Colorado Governor Hickenlooper and Oregon Governor Brown on MSNBC - Morning Joe (video). In it, they intimate that they will push for Assault Weapons Bans at the state level. I think this may be a broader strategy, since it's unlikely Trump will sign a Federal AWB.

The level of disinformation and propaganda in this is infuriating. In it, they repeat the platitude that "No one needs an AR-15".

That’s always the danger of course which is why local elections are every bit as important as the federal ones that get more attention.

It’s also really nice to have a strong state gun rights organization. We are fortunate here in GA to have a very strong group in GA Carry.

Good luck to you.

The state I just left, CA, has an "assault weapon" registration law, and will more than likely pass a ban on all semi-auto rifles in the next couple of years. CA will lead the nation in more stupid gun laws for years to come.

Delaware's Governor (Carney-D) is pushing for an AR ban.

I'm with Pale Horse. You mention gun ban in Ga, and I start to hear whispers of removal from office. Atl is lost, but the rest of the state has their mind.

We in Illinois fight this every year. Nothing new here. Fortunately we have a strong state rifle association and enough down state Democrats that know they won’t last if they vote anti.

Now we need to keep it that way!

Kentucky is pushing for giving you an AR once you cross the state line.

Ohio has SB260 in the wings.
It includes handguns.

That would make this 12 round Henry .22 an assault weapon.

Living in Maryland is no fun either.
Only AR15's that you can purchase or build must have a "heavy barrel".
Currently you can own 10+rd mags but can't buy them in state with the big push coming out of Baltimore this year to ban ownership outright.
After the Florida shooting, wouldn't put it past them to ban AR's too.
Sucks living here.
Wife has grandkids here so I'm stuck.

Skins...I would have thought something such as that Henry does not qualify as a semi-automatic, as you have to manually chamber a cartridge before pulling the trigger via lever action. I'd have the same issue with my Mossberg Palamino tube-fed .22S/L/LR if this were the case.

CA has over 1000 deaths from impaled operation of motor vehicles. Yet any attempt to mitigate that is ignored. Why? Maybe every vehicle should have a ignition interlock as a mandatory item. CA also p produced over 90 percent of US wines... They manufacture a deadly product yet will never stop the production.


Odd that what has proven to be a deadlier product is so acceptable yo them.

Might be time to start fighting tyranny again.

This is the problem with the so-called "conversations".
The lie(s) get repeated and when heard enough they become the standard/truth/norm.
Tired of hearing this shit.

Politicians love Taxes collected from California Wine producers and from sales of such. Booze is heavily taxed in America.

Lesson learned from Prohibition in early '20's.

I can see that. Most probably bleed out.

Looks like citizens in these 4 states are going to lose their civil rights because a 13 year old asked her Mommy to do something.

Connecticut joins 4-state gun coalition

HARTFORD, Conn. (WTNH) – The nationwide gun debate continues to rage. While survivors and victims’ families in the Parkland shooting press for change, Connecticut is one of four states taking matters into their own hands.

Governor Dannel Malloy, Governor Andrew Cuomo, (D) New York, Governor Phil Murphy, (D) New Jersey, and Governor Gina Raimondo, (D) Rhode Island say their states will work together to put in place common sense gun controls where they feel the federal government has failed to.

Parents of victims, as well as survivors of the Parkland school shooting, berated President Trump at the White House Wednesday.

“I don’t understand why I can still go in a store and buy a weapon of war,” Parkland student Samuel Zeif said.

Gov. Malloy asked that question more than five years ago.

“We have waited for the federal government to do something and of course, that never quite happens,” Gov. Malloy said on a morning conference call. announcing that Connecticut, New York, New Jersey and Rhode Island, will be forming a coalition called “States for Gun Safety.” The idea is to take action where the federal government won’t.

“This is a federal government that has gone backwards on this issue,” said Gov. Cuomo. “President Trump has pledged allegiance to the NRA.”

New York and Connecticut both passed new gun restrictions after the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary. Rhode Island’s Governor says she watched yesterday’s protests with her 13 year-old daughter.

“My daughter kept asking me, as she has for the past week, ‘Mom, what are you going to do about it?'” said Gov. Raimondo.

The answer is: Join forces. For instance, federal law prohibits the Centers for Disease Control from studying the health effects of guns. Now, state institutions such as UConn can study that issue together.

The four states also pledge to share information from data bases about mental health, arrest warrants and orders of protection to keep anyone on a list in one state from buying a gun in another.

“A lot of our folks go to one another’s states to make other types of purchases,” Malloy said. “The probability is they also go across the borders to make gun purchases and why not share that information?”

All four governors agree what they are doing does not take the place of action on background checks and metal health that still need to be taken by Washington. They are just not going to wait any longer for Washington to take action. They also say they will be reaching out to other governors to try to expand that coalition.

It is never a "conversation". It is always a lecture.

Yep you are correct. Substitute 10-22 with BX-25 mag then.

Grumpy...

I haven't looked at it yet, who introduced it or if there are any sponsors, but I do not believe that will get much traction.

However, if it does, I am prepared to be labeled a felon as I will not comply.

There is an old saying... I may have heard it before or I may have just made it up, not sure which:

"Don't back a man into a corner unless you are ready to go to war with him and die in the process."
