| Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, has reintroduced legislation to erase restrictions on buying and owning firearms silencers, a move quickly denounced by gun-control groups as a dangerous proposal that will make Americans less safe. In previously introducing the legislation, Lee pitched his bill, dubbed the Silencers Helping Us Save Hearing Act, or SHUSH Act, as a way for hunters and target shooters to lessen the chance their firearms will damage their hearing and noted that silencers only diminish the sound of a shot and don’t make it actually silent. |
|
|
| The state Legislature passed a package of gun control bills Tuesday aimed at preventing the kind of shooting massacres that have marred the US. The Extreme Risk Protection Order, or “Red Flag” bill, would allow authorities or family members to seek a judge’s ruling to remove firearms from an individual deemed dangerous to himself or others. |

It has already passed the Senate and Gov. Kristi Noem, a Republican, has said she supports permitless carry. |

| Lawmakers are introducing a new bill that would change gun laws in the land of Lincoln, which has some gun owners and senators upset, saying it violates privacy and Second Amendment rights. “Ridiculous, just stupid,” Doug Schmidgall, Owner of Aim 2 Shoot said. The new introduced bill said the Department of State Police can conduct a search of the purchasers’ social media accounts. |

| While the Jan. 24 editorial “The court trains it sights on guns” correctly claimed that in its two landmark Second Amendment opinions, District of Columbia v. Heller and McDonald v. Chicago, the Supreme Court “enshrine[d] an individual constitutional right to the possession of a firearm at home for self-defense,” it ignored that the justices found the right “to bear arms” for self-defense was not limited to the home. Indeed, Justice Clarence Thomas found it “extremely improbable that the Framers understood the Second Amendment to protect little more than carrying a gun from the bedroom to the kitchen.” Nevertheless, the New York regulation forbids licensed gun owners from taking a gun outside their homes except to a gun range in city limits, and the gun must be locked in a case separate from the ammunition, rendering the gun useless for self-defense. |

| The South Dakota legislature has passed a bill allowing residents to carry concealed handguns without a permit, sending the measure to Gov. Kristi Noem (R) for a signature. The state House passed the Senate legislation in a 47-23 vote on Tuesday to allow for the so-called “constitutional carry,” The Argus Leader reported. Noem has vocalized support for the measure before but said she will consider the language in the bill before signing it into law. “We are pleased to see constitutional carry pass the state Senate and House of Representatives. Hopefully Gov. Noem will see the benefit in providing law-abiding South Dakotans with the ability to better defend themselves and their families,” an NRA spokesperson said in a statement. |
