A new state law makes it illegal for Hoosiers to attach to their firearms a "switch," or any similar device, that enables fully automatic shooting with a single pull of the trigger. Republican Gov. Eric Holcomb approved the revised state definition of "machine gun" in House Enrolled Act 1365 on Thursday after the legislation was endorsed 71-23 by the Republican-controlled House and 45-4 in the Republican-controlled Senate. |

When listening to criminal trials, I am keenly aware that the prosecution’s case must be presented “beyond reasonable doubt.” The same instinct that leads me toward a passion for the civil liberties protected by the Second Amendment leads me to demand strict limits on the government’s power within the courts. You name it, I’m for it—either as a matter of constitutional necessity or, in cases on which the U.S. Constitution is silent, as a preferred statutory approach.

The History of Bans on Types of Arms Before 1900, by David Kopel and Joseph Greenlee, Law review article, 165 pages, 2021. The Supreme Court, in the seminal Bruen decision, held: once the clear text of the Second Amendment is implicated, the burden falls on the government to prove there were widespread and accepted statutory restraints in history which are very similar to the restraints the government is defending. |

For decades, lever-action shotguns like the Winchester Model 1887/1901 defined the platform of levered repeating scatterguns. But then, aside from a few gems through the years – looking at you, Marlin – lever-driven shotguns seemed to have faded into the sunset. Until now, that is. |

Yesterday, the Tennessee General Assembly adjourned Sine Die, and all anti-gun bills have died in committee. Despite intense pressure from Governor Lee, no “red flag” or gun confiscation bills were introduced. We want to extend our thanks to the leadership of the House and Senate for their unwavering defense of the Second Amendment and for protecting the rights of Tennesseans.

Concealed carry, or the practice of carrying a concealed firearm on one’s person, is a contentious topic in modern society. Some argue that it is necessary for personal protection, while others believe that it only serves to increase the likelihood of gun violence. However, there are many reasons why concealed carry is important and can be a valuable tool for self-defense.

A subcommittee of the Livingston (Michigan) County Board of Supervisors has forwarded a resolution reaffirming their support of the Second Amendment, and they have instructed the county sheriff and the county prosecutor to refuse to enforce any federal gun regulation that they deem unconstitutional. |

Good luck buying an assault weapon in the state of Washington. The governor is ready to sign a bill that would ban the sale of dozens of models of semi-automatic, military-style rifles such as AR-15s and AK-47 variants. The measure passed the legislature April 19 and is now headed to Democrat Governor Jay Inslee’s desk for certain signature.

When we were in our 20s, my friend Jim Ferguson would say that if you find yourself living someplace where you need to own a gun, you should move. That made sense to me then; it’s not so easy now to find safe places. If you live in a remote area, it can take the sheriff an hour or more to get to you, so if there’s a deadly threat from an intruder, you are on your own. And the past few years—indeed, the past few weeks—have shown us that gun violence knows no boundaries of geography, socioeconomic status, or age. |

000 buckshot, also known as triple aught buck, has one of the largest diameter pellet sizes found on the market today, making it great for both hunting and personal defense. When it comes to buckshot size, there are typically eight pellets with a diameter of .36 inches in a 000 buck round, depending on the shell size and manufacturer. As for 000 buckshot vs. 00, the size difference is about 0.03 inches, but the weight of an individual pellet can be as much as 30 percent more with the 000 buck – resulting in more energy per pellet and deeper penetration.

The Hornady V-MAX line of ammunition was created for varmint control, as the bullet has a thin jacket and was designed to fragment on impact with a target, even at low velocities. For many years, your standard varmint ammo was pretty much whatever you had on hand, and this produced mixed results depending on what you were shooting. The V-MAX has a lot of features to make sure any critter is humanely dispatched immediately and is extremely accurate.

Those of us who are not gun fetishists are supposed to "keep our powder dry" on the subject, but it must be said: The Second Amendment is as antique as a muzzle-loaded long gun, and should be treated as a historical artifact. We're not supposed to even whisper such things because the NRA and right-wing extremists have sensible Americans — including many gun owners — so bullied and cowed that we feel we are only allowed to hope for sensible gun-safety legislation around the edges of their highly profitable assault on American lives. |
