"An effort by lawmakers in New York to require microstamping that now has Remington Arms reportedly considering a move to another state would be justified for business reasons and a victory for common sense, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms said today."
"Recent reports indicate that the legendary American arms maker may move west over the microstamping measure."
"'Not only would that be a smart business move,' said CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb, 'but it would also affirm that Remington is run by people with common sense; people who know microstamping is a costly requirement that amounts to a bogus panacea to violent crime.'" ... |

"Special Agent Vince Cefalu has been terminated, a post by the webmaster for the CleanUpATF website announced today."
"'ATF's San Francisco hatchet men just served Special Agent Vince Cefalu with termination papers in the parking lot of a Dennys,' the post reports. 'They did this over a year and half after proposing the termination. Notwithstanding the transparently trumped-up nature of the so-called 'charges' in question, proposing a termination and then executing it over a year and a half later is prima facie evidence that the action is unsustainable and is virtually certain to be reversed on appeal.'" ... |

"According to the NRA-ILA, there are currently seven states that do not allow concealed carry in establishments where alcohol can be consumed, i.e., bars, restaurants and stadiums. Some licensed concealed carry holders may simply choose not to frequent such establishments, but imagine working in one of those places and being rendered defenseless every day because the law prohibits you from carrying your firearm. Many individuals are fighting for those laws to be overturned, and some of those people at the front lines are courageous women with personal stories that fuel their passions for the advancement of Second Amendment rights." ... |

"Chapman wrote 'about a president who promised not to touch our guns and has stuck to that vow.' Yeah. Obama hasn’t worked 'under the radar' to promote gun restrictions via Fast and Furious / Project Gunwalker? Obama hasn’t blocked re-importation of American M1 Carbine rifles from South Korea?

"After a Cook County, Ill., politician started making noises Monday about imposing a tax on firearms and ammunition to help close a $115 million budget gap, the Bellevue-based Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms went ballistic."
"CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb quickly issued a press release that blasted the suggestion by Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle. She reasons that because about two-thirds of the county’s budget pays for public health clinics and the criminal justice system, law-abiding gun owners should get stuck with the bills for the mayhem caused by criminal misuse of firearms." ... |

"Reports have been circulating lately that Remington Arms is thinking about leaving its historic Ilion, N.Y. headquarters and moving to another state because of a perennial effort by anti-gun Empire State lawmakers to impose a microstamping requirement."
"Apparently, similar sentiments exist in Connecticut, where Colt’s Firearms has been located for more than 150 years. ..."
"There is a dirty little secret to this microstamping campaign that its advocates are reluctant, if not downright fearful, to discuss. But Bellevue’s Alan Gottlieb, chairman of the [CCRKBA], has no such qualms. His take is that in order to work, microstamping would require national gun registration, with a databank of firearms and the people who own them." ... |

"There’s a debate raging in the AR15 community. The point of contention: operating systems. Traditionalists favor direct impingement. Designed by Eugene Stoner, DI harnesses the power of the gasses trapped in the barrel to cycle the rifle’s action. It’s a remarkably simple system with one critical flaw: the gasses blow directly into the rifle’s upper receiver and bolt carrier. Over time, this leads to a dirty rifle. In a gas piston system the propellant gases push a solid rod that pushes the carrier to the rear. That makes for a cleaner running gun. While the controversy continues, SIG SAUER has covered its bets with their piston-driven 516 and, now, the 716 . . ." ... |

"Like many of you, my firearms formative years were the 1960s. In gun magazine articles back then big bore revolvers reigned supreme, .45 Autos were accepted and 9mms in general were despised — so were .38 Specials. As best I can remember about the only American made 9mm pistols then were Smith & Wesson’s Model 39 and Colt’s 1911 Commander. Otherwise 9mm pistols floating around in our country were military souvenirs brought home from two world wars or military surplus stuff from the same countries, with a handful of rare imported specialty pistols. Most were made in Germany or Spain. In fact, the only two 9mm pistols I actually held in my hands in the ’60s were German: a Luger and a P38. They came home with American GIs." ... |

"Kel-Tec has been innovative not only in how it designs and manufactures its firearms, but it also has challenged convention in the appearance and styling of its handguns and center-fire rifles. With its KSG, the firm has turned that focus to shotguns."
"To say the Kel-Tec Shotgun (KSG) looks unconventional is an understatement. How often do you see a bullpup 12-gauge shotgun—the trigger and pistol grip forward of the action—with two separate but equal magazines? Considering the interest it produced both at SHOT Show and at the NRA Annual Meetings & Exhibits earlier this year, Kel-Tec’s first entry into shotgun making—despite having a slow start in terms of delivery—was a winner right out of the gate." ... |
