"Politicians are a persistent lot, and the longer I live, the more I notice that if they cannot get what they want going in the front door, they are more than happy to use the backdoor (or a window for that matter). For example, after the landmark Heller case from the Supreme Court, legislation on banning firearms took a backseat to going after high capacity magazines, hollow point ammunition and also the lead content of bullets ..."
"Regardless of this win for gun rights, these increasingly creative attacks on the Second Amendment are just as dangerous as more the explicit assaults and even more so when you consider that these attacks often go unnoticed because they masquerade under the guise of 'restrictions' ... " ... |

"But standing one's ground is an American concept much older than that. And perhaps the man to blame was a tuberculosis-infected war veteran named John Parker.

"Turkey hunting season is just around the corner (or already started depending on where you're at), so if you’re new to it or a novice don’t bother with the antique Browning and Remington that you got from Grandpa. Sure they’re great guns, but I would hate for you to mess one up on a rainy spring morning during a turkey hunt, so Guns.com will show you three hunting shotguns that are a little more up-to-date."
"Before we start, we have to establish a few standards. First, the shotgun needs to have a 26-inch barrel, a 3.5-inch chamber and a removable choke. Second, it has to have a synthetic camouflaged stock. Third, semi autos are great, but it’s hard to beat a pump gun ... Lastly, lets make a price point—$500." ... |

"On the face of it, Winchester’s PDX1 12 Defender ammo doesn’t make a lot of sense. Buckshot is for personal defense. Shotguns slugs are for long distance love (or the exact opposite thereof). Right? Well, not exactly . . ."
"According to Winchester New Products Engineer Ben Frank, the one-ounce PDX1 12 Defender slug exits the barrel of a basic 18″ shotgun at an estimated 1350 feet per second. I make that 1700 foot pounds of muzzle energy. Nick recently calculated that a projectile needs about 10 foot pounds of muzzle energy to enter a human skull.

H&R has developed a single-shot break-action Handi-Rifle chambered in AAC's increasingly popular 300 AAC Blackout (7.62x35mm or 300 BLK)."

Because it means there's no chance of big brother seeing if your guns are on the move."

"This is the second time that Gov. Jan Brewer rejected the NRA-backed measure. As the law stands today in the state of Arizona, any government building (e.g. senior centers, libraries, city offices) can ban guns from its premises by posting a sign at the entrance. A new state house-approved bill would have taken away that power, but Governor Brewer prevented that from happening with a few swift strokes of the veto pen." ... |
