... "That makes it all the more difficult to understand why, after spending untold dollars funding 'a team of no less than 10 government attorneys' in a time of supposed fiscal crisis, ATF once more finds itself trying to exploit Dobyn’s achievement as something they share credit in, even if it means undercutting its efforts to keep that achievement from succeeding."
"'ATF is again promoting my book and putting it on display within the walls of the ATF Headquarters building in Washington, D.C.,' Dobyns explained, providing the photos accompanying this column to prove it. 'It is being used to promote ATF's achievements on a wall labeled 'ATF Authors'.'" ... |

"Another year is unfolding with state legislatures and Congress back in action, and there is no doubt that anti-gun lawmakers – virtually all of them Democrats – will once again push proposals designed to erode the Second Amendment, all in the effort to 'get guns off the streets.'"
"Here is a piece of advice for the 'party of gun control,' the nickname by which Democrats have come to be known."
"If you’re concerned about the number of firearms in the hands of an increasing number of law-abiding citizens, stop promoting legislation that smacks of regulation, registration or outright bans. If that’s not clear enough, to 'get guns off the street' you must first take them off the table." ... |

"Within the new Obamacare law is a provision that critics say places their doctors, nurses, and hospitals in the role of arbiters in the push for more gun control. A previous Examiner report exposed that fact."
"But many doctors are fighting back. They don't want to be gun control arbiters. They do not see such a thing as being part of their role as medical care providers. And even if they were forced into such a role, they see themselves as ill-equipped to make such decisions." ... |

It feels great and works great, except for the trigger. It still feels square and slightly sharp, just like on the AR-30 rifle introduced last year, and the AR-50 before that.
