Rand Paul Offers to Stop Eric Holder

6/21/2014

Excellent news!

A few weeks ago, we told you about “Operation Choke Point” -- an effort by Attorney General Eric Holder to put gun stores out of business.

Basically, it works like this: The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), at the behest of Barack Obama, has declared that gun stores are “high risk” businesses. “High risk” businesses have been, up until now, a small category of supposedly disreputable businesses, which have included pornographers, sellers of drug paraphernalia, and payday lenders.

Supreme Court Decision on "Straw Purchases" Does Not Make Gift Purchases of Firearms Illegal

6/19/2014

 
Picture
On Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in a case involving a Virginia man who could legally purchase a firearm and did so for an uncle from Pennsylvania. Even though the Pennsylvania man who ultimately bought the gun was not legally prohibited from owning a firearm and passed a background check, the Court, in a 5-4 decision, said the transfer violated federal "straw purchase" law.

The ruling has resulted in confusion among federal firearm licensees (FFLs), particularly relating to gift purchases of firearms. 

NSSF has asked the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives to provide clarification on the Supreme Court's decision for its firearms retailer members. As soon as ATF responds, NSSF will provide the information to all FFLs.

With the primary elections behind us, and the summer having arrived, it's time to catch up.

First of course, are the results of the primary elections. 

Dr Monica Wehby will be facing anti-gun radical Jeff Merkley for US Senate.  While we endorsed Wehby's opponent, Jason Conger, we wish her the best in this important race.

Oregon Congressional races will be interesting. 

In the First Congressional District, Suzanne Bonamici (who made a career of anti-gun activism when she served in the Oregon Legislature) will be facing  Jason Yates who is a staunch supporter of gun rights.
