NRA’s annual meetings have begun in Atlanta & you may want to be careful with a toy gun in Atlantic City, NJ. FOX’s Eben Brown has your ‘FOX Bullet Points’: I’m Eben Brown. Don’t run around with toy guns in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Police in that town confiscated more than 60 toys from a store on the city’s famed boardwalk, saying they looked too real, despite having those bright orange plastic tips. The officers said those tips are too easily removable and the toys could be mistaken for real guns. It’s time for the NRA annual meeting. It’ starts today in Atlanta. Are you going? (Man) “Just the camaraderie. A chance to see all the manufactures and the firearms.” He’s on a video from last year posted at the NRA’s website. They’re expecting 80,000 attendees.

Tennessee is making a pitch to de-criminalize suppressors and Oregon lawmakers are considering a bill on confiscating firearms. FOX’s Eben Brown has ‘FOX Bullet Points’: I’m Eben Brown. Tennessee’s state legislature is moving toward the de-criminalizing of suppressors. A proposed law cleared the state Senate and could soon be passed in the state’s House of Representatives. It’s called the Tennessee ‘Hearing Protection Act’ and would remove suppressors from a list of banned fire arms in the state. Tennessee is one of nine states that currently ban suppressors, but a growing movement is convincing lawmakers the devices help preserve people’s ears. Oregon’s lawmakers are now considering a bill that would give the state more power to confiscate firearms, or prevent certain persons from obtaining them. State Senator Brian Boquist is a Republican, and the sponsor of the bill. His own son, a Navy veteran, used a gun to take his own life, sadly. Senator Boquist’s proposed law would enable family members to obtain court orders for at-risk relatives to turn in their firearms. I’m Eben Brown, FOX News.

Another week and the Second Amendment continues to be a hot topic around the country. FOX’s Eben Brown has your “FOX Bullet Points”: I’m Eben Brown. Lots of Second Amendment legislation is coming about in the past week. North Dakota gets a new law, taking effect in August, allowing so-called ‘constitutional carry’, meaning one can carry a concealed firearm with no permit or background check when purchasing. Georgia’s senate approves a bill for campus carry on public universities. But it would not allow carrying firearms at sports events. Arkansas is considering making that provision for its campus carry allowances. Dateline: Glenwood Springs, Colorado, where the local historical society was proud as punch to tell you an anonymous lender financed the purchase of Doc Holiday’s Derringer, the one supposedly at his side when he died in a hotel room in the tiny town west of Denver. They paid $84,000 for it. But now, experts doubt it’s the real thing, saying the man who possessed it for decades was a known huckster. And those are your Bullet Points! I’m Eben Brown, FOX News!

FOX’s Eben Brown has your “FOX Bullet Points”: I’m Eben Brown. Connecticut could get a whole lot more gun friendly, if certain state legislators get their way. They’ve been discussing handgun concealed-carry permit reciprocity with states of similar standard for issuing permits. Currently Connecticut has no reciprocity, per se, but will issue permits to non-resident with permits in other states. The Norwich Bulletin newspaper reports Connecticut saw permit applications last year jump more than 70 percent. The NRA is hoping to discredit a claim by a gun control group about the effectiveness of suppressors in preventing hearing loss. The group ‘Americans for Responsible Solutions’ tweeted out that earplugs work better than supressors. The NRA highlights a CDC study saying suppressors are superior. The NRA and suppressor manufacturers claim the devices are safety tools and buyers shouldn’t be subject to background checks, wait periods or special taxes. And those are your Bullet Points!

FOX’s Eben Brown has this week’s ‘FOX Bullet Points’: I’m Eben Brown. Second Amendment advocates are a bit upset the U.S. Supreme Court didn’t take up the case of a California man suing over a denial of a concealed carry permit. In Peruta v. California, the sheriff in San Diego says he can refuse to issue concealed carry permits if the applicant doesn’t show a real need for one. Justices Thomas and Gorsuch published a dissent to the court’s rejection, calling it ‘distressing.’ Meanwhile, in Kansas, it’ll be legal to carry without a permit on college campus’ starting this Saturday. You know PayPal, and Square, and Stripe? All three are used more and more by retailers to complete electronic payments. But the three outfits, which are not banks, are now the target of a class action lawsuit. Firearms retailer Blar Gladwin of California, who has his federal firearms license, say the three agencies deny him their services because he sells guns. Gladwin claims it’s a civil rights violation.
