With just a week left in the Colorado legislative session, a number of gun control bills have already made their way to Gov. Jared Polis.

Shootings and homicides are decreasing across most of the U.S., but in Alameda County, California it's a very different story. In fact, one anti-violence activist describes it as "the wild, wild West", with "guns everywhere" despite all of California's restrictive laws.

New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham has announced she's bringing lawmakers back to Santa Fe for a special session, but one of her top allies in the state Senate says gun control (well, "gun safety", in his words) bills won't be brought up when the session begins.

The Second Amendment Foundation's Lee Williams joins Cam with the latest on the investigation into the ATF raid on Little Rock airport executive Bryan Malinowski's home; a raid that left Malinowski dead and an agent wounded.

Retired ATF deputy assistant director Pete Forcelli says he's "appalled" by the new ATF rule re-defining who is "engaged in the business" of dealing firearms. As he shares with Bearing Arms Cam & Co, he believes the entire rule can and should be scrapped since there's now a federal gun trafficking statute that can be used to prosecute individuals funneling guns to criminals.

Attorney Daniel Schmutter joins Cam with the details of a recent hearing challenging New Jersey's ban on so-called assault weapons and large capacity magazines, as well as a look at how the Supreme Court's decision in Bruen has invigorated the state's 2A community.

North Carolina Attorney General Josh Stein is presenting himself as a defender of "fundamental freedoms" on the campaign trail, but when it comes to gun control the Democrat is offering up a whole host of unconstitutional restrictions on our fundamental right to keep and bear arms.

With Constitutional Carry adopted in 29 states, a growing number of pro-2A lawmakers are looking for ways to continue to improve the right to keep and bear arms. After one bill aimed at "gun-free zones" failed in a Tennessee committee on Tuesday, Cam has a few suggestions for legislators that stand a better chance of getting enacted into law.

Ryan Petty decided not to attend Kamala Harris's photo-op at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, but he has plenty to say about the new "red flag" office Harris unveiled during her trip, starting with why states should reject the hundreds of millions of dollars in federal funds the Biden administration is throwing at states to implement and expand the gun confiscation laws.

Retired ATF Assistant Director Peter Forcelli joins Cam & Co with details on Sen. Chuck Grassley's investigation into Operation Thor; a multi-agency effort to combat cartel weapons trafficking that was abruptly and inexplicably shut down by the Biden administration.

Are illegal immigrants part of the "the people" who possess the right to keep and bear arms, or are they excluded from the Second Amendment's protections because they're here illegally?

The National Shooting Sports Foundation's top lawyer says the city of Chicago's new lawsuit against Glock is the result of a conspiracy between the city, the White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention, and the gun control group Everytown, and the organization is calling on Congress to investigate the closed-door conversations and backroom scheming that led to the lawsuit being filed.

Everytown for Gun Safety contends that the 3000 percent spike in concealed carry applications in New Jersey is making the state a more dangerous place, but the statistics tell a different story: one where crime is dropping as the number of lawful concealed carry holders grows by leaps and bounds.

Connecticut Democrats have introduced a bill that could turn much of the state into "gun-free zones" in the weeks around Election Day, but Connecticut Citizens Defense League president Holly Sullivan tells Bearing Arms that the group's 44,000 members are already rallying to defend their right to carry.
