A gun control group has finally entered the Georgia race. Brady PAC recently made a $100k ad buy against Loeffler. None of the other gun control groups have spent anything thus far. NRA has already committed to spending over $1.5 million. freebeacon.com/2020-election/…
Local experts I spoke with said they aren't surprised by the difference. They said gun issues tend to drive Republican turnout in Georgia, not Democratic turnout. freebeacon.com/2020-election/…
"Gun rights is as strong a motivator issue in Georgia as there is," Timothy Lytton, a Georgia State University professor, told me. freebeacon.com/2020-election/…
University of Georgia professor David Mustard went further by saying he has been surprised Republicans haven't focused more on the gun issue to this point. "I haven't really actually seen that as much as I anticipated," he said. freebeacon.com/2020-election/…

New: ATF Decision Could Lead to Biggest Gun Registration, Turn-in Effort in American History freebeacon.com/latest-news/at…
ATF is moving forward with a rule that calls into question the legality of 3-4 million AR-15 pistols and similar guns. Owners may have to register, surrender, dismantle, or destroy their guns if the rule is adopted. freebeacon.com/latest-news/at…
The notice ATF published today was meant to give standards for how to tell if a AR pistol needs to be registered as a short-barrelled rifle un the National Firearms Act or not. But it doesn't provide any objective measurements for things like length, weight, or caliber.

One interesting thing from the RNC is how little focus there was on gun rights. There were a few mentions of opposition to gun control but that's about it. There were no promises for pro-gun reforms or legislation.
The RNC proclamation announcing its abondonment of a platform didn't mention gun rights. Trump's initial 2020 agenda didn't mention gun rights (though they've since added this bullet point: "Support the exercise of Second Amendment rights").
In his acceptance speech, President Trump mentioned guns in two lines. Once to warn Democrats will confiscate guns and appoint judges to "wipe away" Second Amendment rights and a second time to say he'll defend those rights. But no specifics on policy.

The gun sales numbers for June just dropped and they are crazy. Story coming soon.
June Gun Sales Set New Record as Retailers Warn of Reduced Stock from Unprecedented Demand freebeacon.com/issues/record-…
June's numbers are incredible. Gun sales usually decline to low points in the summer months then climb back in the fall/winter. June 2020 was completely different. It appears to be the second-highest gun sales month on record. Second only to March 2020. freebeacon.com/issues/record-…

Today is the anniversary of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre where racist whites slaughtered hundreds of people in a successful black neighborhood known as the Black Wall Street. It's one of the worst moments in American history. npr.org/sections/codes…
What's worse is many Americans don't even know about it. Many just recently learned about it on the HBO show Watchmen which has a very visceral portrayal of the massacre in its fist episode.
I only learned of it a few years ago from black gun-rights activist Kevin Dixie. We still don't know how many people were killed during the massacre. Tulsa committed this year, nearly 100 years later, to investigating mass Graves associated with it. washingtonpost.com/history/2020/0…

Officer Mike Mosher was killed in the line of duty on Sunday. His wife Corinne is a gun-rights activist as well as a good friend of mine. She and her daughter need our support. I've donated to Mike's memorial fund and I ask all of you to do the same. gofundme.com/f/officer-mike…
Officer Mosher was a 14-year veteran of the Overland Park police department in Kansas. He was named Officer of the Year by the Kansas Association of Chiefs of Police in 2019 and won the Gold Award for Valor for his role in stopping an active shooter the year before.
Even more importantly, he was a good husband and father. His family needs our support now. Please donate whatever you can to help them. We can't replace what they've lost but we can help remove as many worries from their lives as possible. gofundme.com/f/officer-mike…

Michael Bloomberg is paying $10 million to run an ad focused on his gun-control advocacy during the Super Bowl. The ad makes the claim that "2,900 children die from gun violence every year" but about half that number appear to be adults.
The ad doesn't actually cite a source but the number matches this report from Bloomberg's Everytown for Gun Safety. Their stat includes 18 and 19-year-olds which appear to make up about 49% of the total deaths. everytownresearch.org/wp-content/upl…
Everytown's report is about gun violence involving "children & teens" but Bloomberg's ad uses the same stat while referring only to "children."
