Iowa: General Assembly Adjourns Sine Die
On April 27th, the Iowa General Assembly adjourned sine die from the 2019 Legislative Session.  During this session, both chambers passed Senate Joint Resolution 18 to propose an amendment to the state Constitution affirming and recognizing the right of Iowans’ to keep and bear arms as a fundamental individual right.  Unfortunately, the House of Representatives missed an opportunity to ensure that law-abiding citizens are able to defend themselves and their loved ones when they failed to bring up House File 636, the Family Defense Act, for debate.

Illinois: Private Transfer Ban Legislation On The Move
With the Illinois General Assembly returning from recess, House Amendment 1 to House Bill 96 is likely to move quickly.  HA 1 to HB 96 would impose various gun control schemes in Illinois, such as criminalizing private transfers and creating a gun seizure regime.
THE TRUTH ABOUT GUNS
SCOTUS to City of New York – NYSR&PA v NYC Goes Forward external site
As you probably know, the Supreme Court agreed to hear New York State Rifle & Pistol Association vs. City of New York earlier this year. That case has the potential to be a landmark decision for gun rights on the order of (or possibly exceeding) Heller and McDonald. Those who read the legal tea leaves on the anti-gun side have recognized the potential for the case to re-write (read: strike down) gun control laws across the country and it has them in a quiet state of panic. So much so, in fact, that the city of New York put the wheels in motion to change the law that’s at issue in the case.
