The Giffords Center writes, “Since 2017, the state has allowed people to carry concealed, loaded firearms in public without a background check or permit.”

  1. What they are not saying is according to Federal Law one can not purchase from a FFL without a background check. So the statement that one can carry without a check is partially false. One could purchase from a private seller without a check but they would be responsible if the buyer can not legally own or carry.

    1. Actually if you want to split hairs the 2nd IS your permit and ANY state or federal “law” that says otherwise is null and void… That too is in the constitution… It’s called the supremacy clause… Look it up…

          1. Your wrong, because our fore fathers, where way beyond their year. They thought this would happen.So they put it in a documents, so they couldn’t.
            As many people their letting in and trafficking kids. We all need to meet at the southern border to keep them all out.

  2. All liberals are nuts, and until we realize that, and put them all into insane asylum’s, things will continue to get worse. Yes, our money would be best spent building new asylum’s to house liberals.

  3. WHERE is Florida? I thought Florida may be #1, but it wasn’t listed! Nor was Georgia! I lived in the south and everyone had guns in a rack on the back window of their trucks. I’ve since, moved to Costa Rica where life is more sane. We are opening up this April 5th! Come on down with your paper work that you do NOT have COVID 19.

    1. so you’ against guns? Sane is no guns. Or do you have guns out the, well never mind/ I thought costa Rica had a big problem with crime? Hey from what I have seen Costa Rica is beautiful just kinda unsafe for people, especially American out side of a few areas. Just questions.

  4. Though I’ve shot a few guns, I’m not a Pro-Gun American. I’ve never owned any weapons, nor would I buy one. I do take exception to our government exceeding their authority to disarm Americans on the premise that they’ll prevent gun deaths, particularly mass shootings, which have (fortuitously…) occurred during democratic majority election cycles. The operative term here is deaths. How many people are killed each year by guns. When those statistics are compared to other demises suffered by the gentry, they’re diminutive. Vehicle accidents have accounted for hundreds of thousands of people dying. But we’re not seeing ’emergency’ legislation being pushed through congress to take our cars away. Wars cause deaths, yet our leaders don’t consider that when they deploy our troops to decimate a foreign country. (Maybe we could push our own ‘Emergency Legislation’ to stop wars.) Suicides far exceed gun deaths, and disease is the most pertinent factor for people kicking the bucket. Democrats like numbers, and they’ll emphasize their Anti-2nd Amendment campaigns with justifications based upon statistics. If the sordid history of the Clinton Era is any indication (Their ‘body count’ was considerable…) Congress should outlaw them.

  5. Good. I look forward to becoming a Wyoming resident next month. And Giffords can go take a flying f*** at a rolling donut.

  6. I am not for gun control at all > I have my BS and MS in Criminal Justice, been a cop and even went through some special training. Guns laws make criminals bolder and give these criminals more power.
    The real reason for the 2nd amendment and owning guns and knowing how to safely use them and being practiced in these weapons, is to prevent an over reaching government like we are seeing in the US today. FACT: ever dictatorship has out lawed private citizens from having guns. EVERYONE and doesn’t matter if thaat dictatorship is considered left or right because when you got a dictator it doesnt’ matter which side of the fence they are on. That is why when people start discussing socialism, nazis, communist, hell pick one, who cares what side they are on? The same reality follows. yes that is the regular people are brutalized.

  7. Oh and I do hate the sexism in many pro gun adds. I love pretty girls butt to use them to make men look, or to try to make a point, WHY?

  8. Put Obama and Soros in Gitmo and hang them youll have ten times less chaos and shootings! All these street shootings are created by people like Obama just so they can bitch about gun control! Never trust demorats! If they didnt want to get rid of Cuomo you wouldnt hear from these women accusers on the news! Would be burried like Bidens perversion and hunters corrupt deals in forign countrys led by Joe!

  9. Americans can be made to believe anything, because the media is enjoined with the government to arrange the dismantling of our Bill of Rights. (So-called ‘Conservative’ congressional representatives are also part of the picture.) This same collaboration occurred in Russia, and those people suffered untold hardships and tyranny when their leadership was free to implement the Bolshevik Regime. Disarming Americans is just the beginning, and if our citizens aren’t familiar with the process that’s underway, they’ll witness our former Democratic Republic morphing into the Soviet model.

    1. Why YES___ we should ALL strive to be more like the Middle East! They have ALL Reeeeeally had their shit together for Centuries now!
      Islam IS the obvious answer to Utopia!

  10. 10 down 40 To go !
    Have the people at the Gifford Center even READ the Constitution? To keep and bare arm is RIGHT , not a FEELING!

  11. I live in NC and I Have a carry permit. I believe everyone should learn to shoot and have a permit. This world is dangerous. We need to protect ourselves especially females. All should fight for this right.

  12. Since Democrats claim to be the compassionate party, isn’t it time for them to show a little compassion for the millions of people disarmed and then murdered by their own governments and others?

    Blacks were disarmed after being freed from slavery and left defenseless against armed whites.

    Women need guns to defend themselves against some men.

    Russians were able to overthrow the tyranny of Czar Nicholas, II because they had guns, as many were armed veterans of World War I. Unfortunately, they established a new form of tyranny and confiscated guns from the masses so Russians now cannot overthrow the new tyrants. 

    American Colonists were able to overthrow the tyranny of King George, III because they had guns, as many were armed hunters. Unfortunately, Leftists want to confiscate our guns and leave us defenseless against their form of tyranny.

    Germans voluntarily gave up their guns. Then the Nazis came into power and murdered millions of them.

    On December 29, 1890, the Seventh Cavalry (U.S. Army) forcibly disarmed most of the Lakota Native Americans near the Wounded Knee Creek in South Dakota and then massacred approximately 300 men, women, and children in the group. 

    The list of disarmed victims is endless.

  13. According to Leftist “Logic”, we need to defund the police, and we will all be safe once the Gestapo has a monopoly on guns. Try to connect those two dots.

  14. Watch the misdirection: Why is the Giffords Center only concerned with death by firearm? A death by murder without a firearm is a death. What the Gifford Center won’t ever do is compare ‘gun violence deaths’ against the murder rate! People without firearms murder just as well without firearms. When Australia took most guns in 1996, the murder rate from before the gun ban compared to after the gun ban didn’t change much, so it’s not about “if it saves one life” at all. People will murder and kill themselves whether they have firearms or not.

  15. Has anyone else noticed how these “law centers” are openly trying to make our society safe for criminals and terrorists?
    I wonder how those freedom haters are going to cope when the “fruits of their labors” bring about the end of civilization, and they’re faced with armed criminal or terrorist gangs?
    It doesn’t really matter – those sheeple are just too mentally ill to figure it out.

  16. I’m not sure about this article reason being is that now there are almost 20 states with ‘Constitutional Carry’ means of you are of age and are not debarred from possession and carrying of a firearm you are permitted without a government license. I probably would not trust the Giffords center as far as I could throw them. One last thing no state permits any individual who is debarred from possession of a firearm to either possess or carry a firearm and purchasing a firearm in any/every state from a firearms dealer or from a dealer at a gun show requires a (federal) background check. One last lie of the left yes I can actually order a firearm on line HOWEVER the firearm is shipped to a licensed firearms dealer where I must go in person to complete the transaction part of which I must pass the background check prior to the firearm being transferred to me (one note federal law on background checks say the check must be complete within 3 days and if not for some reason the firearms dealer can complete the transaction)

  17. WHAT? Arkansas isn’t on there? I didn’t know there were any “gun laws” in Arkansas! We must be #0 just before Mississippi.

  18. O’Connor’s stamp of approval is anything but reassuring for those skeptical of the president’s ability to lead. SINCE WHEN CAN THE COMMANDER AND CHIEF REFUSE MENTAL HEALTH EXAM? WHEN HE CAN’T PASS IT. BIDEN UNFIT TO MENTALLY SERVE AS PRESIDENT IT’S NOT A FXXXIN GAME JOE. THIS CAN’T BE HIDDEN FROM THE AMERICAN PUBLIC. NO DOCTOR WILL SIGN OFF ON HIS MENTAL STATE TO SERVE AS PRESIDENT.The examination revealed that the president of the United States suffers from a “number of health issues”, but even more concerning, perhaps, was the fact that “Biden refused cognitive testing” – “despite showing obvious signs of diminished cognitive function”. Biden’s physical was completed by Kevin C. O’Connor, D.O., and included consultation with several of the Presidential Specialty Consultants from the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, including specialists in optometry, otolaryngology (ENT), dentistry, orthopedics (foot and ankle), orthopedics (spine), physical therapy, neurology, cardiology, radiology, dermatology, anesthesiology, and gastroenterology. CNN Chief Medical Correspondent Sanjay Gupta was asked on air if Biden underwent any tests “that measured mental acuity” like former President Donald Trump did. “It doesn’t seem like it. I read pretty carefully through the doctor’s report, and there was, they mentioned “neurological exam, but that was more in terms of testing motor strength and sensation and things like that”,”Gupta responded. “President Trump had something known as the Montreal cognitive assessment. It’s sort of a screening test for dementia. And, you know, that there was no mention of that sort of thing here. It is a constant point of discussion. I can tell you within the geriatrics community, I wrote this book last year about brain health, and one of the things that kept coming up was, should sort of these types of screening tests, cognitive screening tests, be more commonly done? And there’s many in that community who believe starting at age 65, there should be some sort of screening that’s done. Dr. Ronald Peterson, who runs the Alzheimer’s clinic at Mayo has been somebody who talked about that.” “But as far as we know, for President Biden, we didn’t see any kind of tests like that performed.” O’Connor concluded by claiming that Biden“remains fit for duty, and fully executes all of his responsibilities without any exemptions or accommodations,”though without testing for what appears to be the most obvious threat to “Biden’s ability to perform his job, his mental fitness”, 

  19. What this actually means is that all who belong to this association have either never read the Constitution or are ignorant of the meaning of “infringed”. You can not pass laws that infringe in any way the RIGHT to gun ownership. Yes, I know that this makes virtually every gun law unconstitutional if this right is infringed in any way making virtually every gun control law in the country unconstitutional. The Constitution IS the Supreme Law of the Country and the Bill of Rights were added to the Constitution to clarify that the first ten ammendments were needed to clarify that the RIGHT contained in these ammendments are considered to unalienable. In plain language, these rights were never to be touched.

  20. I am pro gun. Hell I like pretty women too. But why are there always provocative shots of women and guns in articles like these? Are you guys saying men will not read your articles with out women? Seriously what is your position here?
