| DAILY ALERT FOR Friday, May 31, 2019 |
|
|
|
||
| Tomorrow, the Senate Judiciary B Committee is scheduled to consider pro-gun legislation, House Bill 281. |
|
|
| New Jersey could require all handgun ammunition sales to be recorded and compel many people with firearms in the state to undergo regular safety training. Those are just a couple of new rules on guns proposed in four bills that have been introduced in the state legislature are intended to close loopholes and keep firearms out of the hands of people who aren’t supposed to have one, backers say. |

| On May 24th, the Michigan House of Representatives voted 90-19 to pass House Bill 4434 to reduce the penalty for law-abiding citizens who forget to renew their Concealed Pistol License in certain instances. HB 4434 will now go to the state Senate for further consideration, but has not yet received a committee referral. |

|
| Among 2020 Democrats who have worked in Congress, few have worked solo on meaningful legislation. The Hill’s analysis of past legislative activity shows the vast majority of Democratic candidates who have served or still serve in the House and Senate have passed few pieces of legislation on their own. |

| CNN’s Chris Cuomo faced fierce feedback on Wednesday after tweeting about a pro-gun rape survivor’s message. “Only in America,” the “Cuomo Prime Time” host wrote in response to an NRA promotional video featuring Kimberly Corban. The 60-second clip includes Mrs. Corban recounting the time she was raped as a 20-year-old living in off-campus housing. |

| A man accused of stealing a car with a 6-year-old boy inside in West Palm Beach and crashing it in Lantana early Saturday was shot by the boy’s father, deputies said. Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman Teri Barbera said Lamar Thurman, 29, drove away in the car, which was parked in front of a home on Roberts Lane, while the engine was on and the boy was inside as his father was saying goodbye to friends. |
|
|
| The mother of a 12-year-old girl says her daughter did everything right when a man broke into their home and began undressing in the girl’s bedroom over the weekend. Donald Oliver, 38, was in court Monday morning, a day after he was shot while allegedly breaking into the home in the 1200 block of Homeview Avenue, near Taylor Blvd. |
|
|
| Detectives are investigating a home invasion that ended in a shooting late Tuesday night. Officers say two masked and armed men used the front door to enter a home in the 2800 block of 28th Avenue North in St. Petersburg around 11:40 p.m. |
|
|
| The legislation would require a one-time submission of fingerprints to get or renew a Firearm Owners Identification (FOID) Card or concealed carry license. The fingerprints would go into Illinois State Police and FBI databases, which track criminal records and prior FOID card suspensions or revocations. Opponents argue it would treat law-abiding citizens like criminals. But state Rep. Kathleen Willis, a Democrat from Addison, said Illinois already uses fingerprinting for a variety of safety measures. |

|
| CNN anchor Chris Cuomo responded to several critics who slammed him on Wednesday over a tweet they said appeared to mock National Rifle Association (NRA) member and rape survivor Kimberly Corban. Corban appeared in an NRA ad advocating her Second Amendment right after going into detail how she survived a rape when she was 20 years old. “I’m a mother of two, and if a predator or anyone else tries to harm me or my family, they have to come through my firearm first,” Corban said. Cuomo reacted to the ad, tweeting “Only in America.” |

| What happens when a “well-known” lobbyist for Michael Bloomberg’s Everytown for Gun Safety gets arrested? Well, the mainstream media covers the story. With a pillow. Until it stops moving. That’s what happened when Robert Blaisdell was arrested for a host of charges relating to a domestic violence incident police say happened at his residence. |
