As with any full metal jacket bullet, the FMJ boat tail is fully (or mostly) encased in copper or another hard metal or material. Roughly resembling the shape of a boat, boat tails are named for their designed tapered rear when viewed from the side. This bullet type is commonly used for competition shooting due to their easy assembly. These rounds tend to be easy to assemble without denting, nicking or scratching the bullet surface and any tiny imperfection can lead to unwanted bullet performance, or can even cause issues with the casing.

One bill would allow guns in parked cars on school property. Another wants to expand access to a firearm while on a boat. And one proposal would increase the area in which a person can reasonably discharge their gun in self-defense. Four years after Oklahomas Republican Legislature approved "permitless carry," removing any training or licensing requirements to handle a firearm, lawmakers have filed more than 100 bills to expand gun access even further.

Joe Biden gave another State of the Union (SOTU) speech last week, and, as most anticipated, it included an attack on our right to keep and bear arms. Biden has hammered away at this theme throughout his term in the White House, and there was nothing in his latest broadside against gun owners that showed any more insight, nuance, or understanding of the subject than his prior efforts. Apparently, not only can you not teach an old dog new tricks, you cannot teach an old politician to update his script.

Are you one of Americas 25 million or so owners of what the NSSF likes to call modern sporting rifles? Yes, thats an accurate term, but most of us know of these firearms by their colloquial names such as AR-15 or AK47. Anyway, those of us who own one or a few probably had no idea at all of their fearsome capabilities. Well, not until a true expert came along and laid out for us how fiendishly deadly these weapons are that we have lurking in our safes.

After the Supreme Court struck down New Yorks overreaching gun control law last year, New York City declared Times Square to be a gun-free zone. Shockingly, this did not prevent a man from being shot and killed there last Thursday. The shooting was the first since the creation of the expansive, signposted zone, according to the New York Times, and it immediately renewed questions about whether such a designation can truly protect the area.

With all the upgraded features comes an upgraded price tag. Is the Edge worth the additional dollars on top of the base price? Keep reading to decide for yourself.
