Senate Staffer: ‘DiFi was pissed:

 
  Last week, Gun Owners of America began executing a strategy for defeating Harry Reid’s gun control bill (S. 649): put Senators on record and force them to reveal where they stand on gun rights.
Part of that strategy was an amendment to the bill put up by Mike Lee (R-UT), which would require Senators to muster 67 votes before adopting gun control legislation.
The good news is that a majority of Senators supported the Lee amendment by a 50-49 vote. The bad news is, since the Senate rules requires 60 votes, the Lee amendment fell ten votes short.
Nonetheless, one high-level Senate staffer told GOA that “The gun grabbers were livid when Senator Lee forced the vote. Mark Pryor looked nervous as hell, and DiFi [aka, Dianne Feinstein] was pissed.”

Bloomberg Mayor Buddy Faces Criminal Charges : gunnews

 
 Another name has been added to a list of Michael Bloomberg’s Mayors Against Illegal Guns who have run afoul of the law with Thursday’s criminal charges against Marcus Hook, Pa. Mayor James Schiliro, the Second Amendment Foundation reports.
“Mayor Schiliro is one more example of why we started the ‘Gun Owners Against Illegal Mayors’ campaign,” said SAF Executive Vice President Alan Gottlieb. “He joins recently-convicted former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, and recently-indicted former New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin, both of whom were MAIG members.”
SAF launched Gun Owners Against Illegal Mayors last fall, “and the list keeps growing,” said Gottlieb.
“Schiliro’s case is not only bad, but bizarre,” Gottlieb said. “He’s been charged with false imprisonment, unlawful restraint, reckless endangerment, serving alcohol to a minor and other crimes, and he also allegedly used more than one gun in this incident, in which at least one shot was fired.”
According to published reports, Schiliro’s attorney says the mayor has sold his guns and entered alcoholism treatment.
Schiliro — who signed an infamous anti-gun letter to the U.S. Senate with 600 other mayors — has suddenly disappeared from the MAIG roster on that group’s website.

‘Loopy’ Colo. Gov. Signs Magazine-Restrictions Bill; Magpul Makes Plans to Exit the State Ricky-Tick; Hunters Immediately Begin Canceling Trips : gunnews

‘Loopy’ Colo. Gov. Signs Magazine-Restrictions Bill;
Magpul Makes Plans to Exit the State Ricky-Tick;
Hunters Immediately Begin Canceling Trips
(GunAuction.com) — Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper signed three firearm-related bills last week, including restrictions that would limit magazine capacity, require checks on private sales, and tack on background check fees. In response, Magpul is making plans to exit the state. Also, hunters across the country say they are boycotting Colorado because of recent legislation meant to curtail gun violence.
Opponents argue that these bills will do nothing to lower crime, but instead infringe on Second Amendment rights. Some also worry that the wording in the high capacity magazine ban (HB 1224) will eventually make all lowered-capacity magazines illegal due to “readily convertible” parts.
Magazine and gun accessory manufacturer Magpul had previously announced that it will uproot from its Colorado location should the magazine ban be passed. On the eve of the signing, the company stood by its promise with a release on its facebook page that said, “[Should HB 1224 be signed] we will start our transition out of the state almost immediately, and we will prioritize moving magazine manufacturing operations first. We expect the first PMAGs to be made outside CO within 30 days of the signing, with the rest to follow in phases.”
Magpul has not yet finalized all the details for its move and is now considering potential sites for a future company headquarters. From the company’s Facebook page:‘Loopy’ Colo. Gov.

South Dakota governor signs bill allowing armed teachers in the classroom | Fox News

South Dakota Gov. Dennis Daugaard on Friday signed a bill allowing teachers to carry guns in school, making his state the first to enact such a law since the Newtown shooting tragedy.
The bill was pushed by gun-rights supporters who say arming teachers could help prevent tragedies like the one at Sandy Hook Elementary School, where 20 students and six educators died. The law, which goes into effect July 1, will allow school districts to arm teachers and other personnel.
But the measure prompted intense debate in the capital, as several representatives of school boards, school administrators and teachers opposed the bill during committee testimony last month. They said the measure could make schools more dangerous, lead to accidental shootings and put guns in the hands of people who are not adequately trained to shoot in emergency situations.
The issue of guns in schools has been a co
