C. Sharps Arms has made what I believe is a very good move.
While this company might be best known for the heavy “buffalo rifles” they produce, they are also offering a version of their 1885 Low-wall rifle in a lighter and shorter version. This rifle is being called the Oakley Target Rifle, somewhat named after Annie Oakley, the famous “Little Miss Sure Shot” from the Buffalo Bill Wild West Shows. Miss Oakley did shoot similar rifles in her fine marksmanship demonstrations, although this new rifle by C. Sharps Arms is not a copy of an authentic Annie Oakley gun.

How Courts Are Using Bruen’s Footnote Nine to Uphold Gun Laws

Buried in the fine print of the Supreme Court’s 2022 New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen ruling sits a single footnote, and lower courts have fallen in love with it. Why? Because it hands them a convenient way to bless gun laws that would otherwise flunk the Second Amendment outright. That footnote, number nine, has now drawn a sharp warning from a federal appeals judge who says it has been twisted beyond recognition.

| QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
