"In an effort to frighten the public into supporting her bill to ban so-called 'assault weapons,' U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) has gone to some trouble to publicize the 'threat' posed by 'bump fire' rifle stocks like the Fostech Outdoors 'Bumpski,' and others. To hear Feinstein tell it, these stocks essentially convert semi-automatic firearms into 'machine guns,' but without changing their legal status under current federal law--a situation she intends to change.

"'Retailers Need to Wake Up,' Director of Government Relations and State Affairs at [NSSF] Jake McGuigan said during a grassroots seminar at the 2014 SHOT Show Tuesday morning. 'It’s not political, it’s our livelihood and our constitutional right.'"
"Anti-gun politicians throughout the country have done everything possible over the past two years, and over the past four decades, to turn law abiding citizens into criminals. In 2012, we saw New York Governor Andrew Cuomo sign the S.A.F.E. Act in the middle of the night, limiting law abiding gun owners to just seven rounds ... In Colorado, we saw legislators put the cap on magazines at 15 rounds, forcing Magpul and it’s more than 200 employees out of the state to Texas. " ... |

"Like most things made in Germany, the Merkel RX Helix is an engineering marvel. The Merkel is the newest straight pull bolt action rifle on the market. What sets it apart from the crowd is the fact that the action uses cams to reduce the length of travel. As an example, for a .300 Win Mag you only need to pull the handle back 2.5 inches to get the bolt to move 4.5 inches. I was really impressed how smooth and effortless it was to chamber and extract a round from the rifle. This is undoubtedly the fastest bolt action rifle I have ever handled, and second place finisher is not really close . . ." ... |

"It’s a brave new world out there. Things are changing, and new manufacturing process are turning things that we would normally scoff at into reality. One of those new products is polymer cased ammunition, replacing the expensive brass cases with cheap plastic and saving not only a ton of weight but also rare(ish) metals. PCP Ammunition is the first to market with a prototype polymer ammunition, running at the moment in .308 Winchester only. We were handed a box to test out, and so I headed to the range with chronograph in tow to find out if the ammo is any good." ... |

"It’s too bad columnist Fred LeBrun allows his apparent dislike of Gov. Andrew Cuomo to affect his writing about the NY SAFE Act (“Gun rights folks in a good place,” Jan. 5)."
"Instead of giving credit to the governor for making an effort to reduce gun violence, he accuses him of smuggling the SAFE Act through the Legislature and for proposing it solely for political gain. He claims the vast majority of upstate New Yorkers oppose the act." ...

Submitter's Note: The only thing "reducing violence" has to do with the SAFE Act is to be the pretext used for pushing through just a few more incremental changes aimed at discouraging people from owning guns (or turning them into felons so they can't own them!). |

"Rather than lashing out at the firearms industry, like Dick Metcalf has been doing ... Zumbo educated himself about ARs. He realized he made a serious error, and with honesty, transparency and humility sought to make things right, the right way." ... |

"In Supreme Court rulings in recent years, gun-control laws have been defeated, but via precarious 5-4 votes. That means our Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms hinges on a single vote. It means a constitutional right could be taken away by a liberal judge who thinks only certain parts of the Constitution are relevant."
