A member of Moms Demand Action, Doris Koloski, addresses recent accusations claiming the group advocates for severe gun control measures that infringe on self-defense rights. She asserts that the organization supports responsible gun ownership through common-sense regulations such as background checks, safe storage practices, and red flag laws. Koloski, a licensed gun owner herself, emphasizes the importance of gun safety training, recounting her own experience with lessons at a local shooting range. She argues that promoting safe practices decreases accidental shootings, particularly among children, and supports the notion that those apprehensive about background checks may not be fit to own…

The U.S. Department of Justice unveils proposed regulations aimed at curbing the rise of homemade ‘ghost guns,’ which are firearms that lack serial numbers and are difficult for law enforcement to trace. This initiative comes as part of a broader effort to mitigate gun violence and close existing loopholes that have facilitated the rapid spread of these unregulated weapons. Recent reports indicate that ghost guns have surged in popularity, with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives noting that their use in crimes has sharply increased. By implementing stricter regulations, the DOJ aims to rein in this trend and…

The Ghost Gunner, a computer-controlled CNC mill developed by Cody Wilson, allows users to manufacture untraceable AR-15 lower receivers from home using easily accessible materials. With a price of $999, the machine can carve the part where a serial number is typically registered, raising significant questions about firearm regulation and safety as it circumvents traditional manufacturing laws. Unfinished AR-15 lower receivers are legally available for under $100, and the Ghost Gunner streamlines the home-manufacturing process that usually requires extensive machinery and labor. Wilson’s project not only highlights the growing trend of “ghost guns,” which lack serial numbers, but also underscores…

The United States and Russia have escalated tensions by threatening to resume nuclear testing, a move that could undermine decades of nuclear nonproliferation efforts and alarm the international community. U.S. President Donald Trump announced plans to initiate testing due to other countries’ activities, which Russian President Vladimir Putin swiftly countered, indicating that Moscow would reciprocate any U.S. nuclear tests, escalating fears of a renewed arms race. This potential revival of nuclear testing challenges the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty, which has been upheld by the majority of the international community since its adoption in 1996. Such a shift would not only impact…

Colorado has made a significant move to strengthen its gun control measures, voting to impose strict limits on ammunition magazines and mandating background checks for all firearm purchases. This legislation positions the state among the leaders in the U.S. for stringent gun laws, a response shaped by recent tragic events, including the Newtown massacre. The new laws aim to address ongoing concerns about gun violence and public safety, reflecting a growing trend among states to reassess their firearm regulations. The introduction of universal background checks and magazine capacity limits is expected to spark further discussions about the balance between gun…

Kenneth Walker, a 42-year-old man, is arrested in Houston on numerous charges, including aggravated robbery and illegal firearm possession. The arrest follows a November 2 incident where he allegedly attempted to sell drugs before forcibly stealing a victim’s property at gunpoint, escalating an already tense situation. Walker is linked to a parole violation from a past aggravated robbery conviction in 2006 and was apprehended during a traffic stop. Investigators discovered a loaded firearm and several bags of cocaine and methamphetamine in his vehicle, leading to his current charges in the 180th State District Court, highlighting the ongoing issues of violent…

Iowa’s deer gun season begins this weekend, coinciding with a snowy forecast that could enhance visibility and tracking, potentially boosting hunters’ success. The first of the two gun seasons, running from December 6 to 10, is expected to attract more than 100,000 hunters, with projections of 55,000 to 60,000 deer harvested across the state. State deer biologist Jace Elliott reports a strong harvest in Eastern Iowa, compensating for lower populations in other areas impacted by hemorrhagic disease. Weather plays a crucial role, as hunters might see increased deer activity if snow falls on opening day, although heavy snowfall could deter…
