With a lengthy waiting period, an ever-expanding semi-auto ban, a shrinking handgun roster, and broken background checks on ammunition purchases, California is scraping the constitutional floor with their gun control. In fact, with NRA-backed NYSRPA v. Corlett before the U.S. Supreme Court, we may soon discover that many California jurisdictions’ administration of the state License
NRA has often lamented about how the legacy media long-ago abandoned any semblance of neutrality when it comes to the issue of gun control.
