"David Keene, the President of the NRA, is also the former President of the American Conservative Union. Thus, it is only natural that he should be at the ACU's Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Chicago recently. He moderated a couple of panel discussion which Sebastian discusses here."
"He was interviewed for NRA News by Cameron Gray. Among the things Keene discussed were what he termed as the shadow war on the Second Amendment. ..." ... |

... "What is left unsaid in the Chinese critique of U.S. policies is the fact that we the people have the authority and duty – morally and legally – to change things any time we find the government headed down the wrong path. While there are issues, we retain the right and power of free speech and assembly, a free press and the power of the vote. As a last resort, we also retain the right, as expressed in the Declaration of Independence, to 'throw off' an unjust government and 'provide new Guards' for our future security." ... |

"Daniel Defense has redesigned the quad-rail handguard used on many of their carbines, in particular it's standard on their popular DDM4 carbines."
"This new handguard has been designed to be more compact and lightweight compared to their older model, with a smaller rail radius that makes it easier to hang on to, and it brings the lower rail closer to the barrel. 'This one-piece design has a more narrow profile which lends itself to better weapon manipulation,' Jordan Hunter of Daniel Defense said in a recent interview." ... |

"If you haven't heard about Slickguns then you're missing out. Slickguns aggregates firearm related deals from around the web and lists them in an easy to read format. The system sort of works on good faith, but all the deals are user generated, so they're posted, voted on, commented on and ultimately taken advantage of by the users -- like you."

... "We are living in what is called the information age, however often much of that information is actually misinformation. The .44 Magnum, both sixguns and cartridge, has been with us now for nearly 60 years. There is much good information out there in both the printed page and on the Internet, however there are also a lot of mistakes and myths perpetuated. The wise seeker learns, or at least should learn which are dependable resources and which are not. Internet forums are one of the worst places to find reliable information, however one of the best sources of wrong information. It is amazing to me to see the stuff that is disseminated and gains a wide audience of believers. ... Let the reader beware!" ... |

"I first heard about the Appleseed Project from one of the OFWGs at my local gun club. He was a big supporter and both he and his wife helped organize and run the events in the local area. The Appleseed project is the brainchild of Fred from Fred’s M14 Stocks website and was started in 2006. If you don’t know, basic goal of Project Appleseed is to teach Americans about their heritage, focusing in particular on the events that began on April 19, 1775.

"Rural Americans between the ages of 10 and 24 are twice as likely as their urban counterparts to commit suicide. And while youth suicides have declined across the country in recent years, suicide rates in sparsely populated areas have remained steady. While it is hard to pinpoint the reasons for this disparity -- access to mental health treatments is a major contributor -- one reason may be tied to gun culture." ...

SUBMITTER'S COMMENT: "... one reason may be tied to gun culture."
And other reasons "may be tied to" boredom, lack of opportunity, the ready availability of drugs and alcohol and the unending images of how their lives are nowhere near as much fun as those portrayed on TV. |

"Here's something you won't hear from the National Rifle Association: The Second Amendment is fading as a wedge issue in American politics, gun owners are winning, and President Barack Obama is doing little to alter the scales.
Nearly one in two Americans now have a gun in their home and just 26 percent favor an all-out ban on handguns, down from 60 percent in 1959, according to a recent Gallup survey. The number of Americans who support tighter gun laws is at an all-time low." ... |

"Despite the high price tag and the obviously limited market, Carr claims that a bunch of people are interested. He told The Daily Eastern News, 'Most [prospective buyers] say, 'I'd love to have it, but the wife wouldn’t let me.' We've all been there before." ... |

"It was Elmer Keith who lit the sixgunning fire in my heart, however it was Skeeter Skelton who continually fanned the flames. Keith did the majority of his work and writing about sixguns before I ever purchased my first revolver, however I kind of feel like I grew up with Skeeter, who was 11 years old when I was born, and whose first articles appeared in [GUNS Magazine] in the late 1950s. Skeeter became Handgun Editor of another magazine in the mid-1960s and I followed everything he wrote for the next two decades. Skeeter not only did feature articles he also had a monthly 'Hipshots' column ... above all he had the rare ability to grab sixgunners by the heart, soul and spirit, and pull them right into the article." ... |

"Congressman Darrell Issa Friday afternoon made it clear in a letter to Attorney General Eric Holder that he is willing to engage in a 'constructive dialogue' about Operation Fast and Furious documents, Holder needs to deliver documents he has offered to the committee prior to any such meeting."
"The letter came just hours after a Rasmussen survey revealed support for Holder is waning, and the Bellevue-based Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms called on the embattled attorney general to step down. However, CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb added a condition: If Holder leaves, he should first turn over all the documents that Issa has requested." ... |

"[On June 6], the House unanimously agreed to the amendment offered by U.S. Representative Chip Cravaack (MN) to the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act of 2013, which would increase funding for the Federal Flight Deck Officer (FFDO) program. Importantly, the amendment is fully offset and will not cost taxpayers any additional money." ...
-------
Submitter's Note: Here's an idea; instead of farting around with all this, just pass an amendment stating that any pilot with a permit to carry, or who qualified with weapons in the military, or who has completed a hunter safety course is qualified as a FFDO. Problem solved, cost $0. |

"We’ve reported in the past on the claims made by various parties that Remington 700 rifles that use the Walker fire control system have been known to fire without so much as a finger on the trigger. Well, one of the allegedly injured parties, Joel Lovell, hired the Houston class action factory otherwise known as the Lanier Law Firm. And the distinguished barristers issued a press release via PR Newswire and marketwatch.com peacocking the fact that they’ve managed to extract an undisclosed financial settlement from the Freedom Group company. The question is, will this be an isolated drip or the beginning of a deluge. Press release after the jump . . ." ... |

"In late March, Indiana Gov.

"One of the boys, 15, was found without shoes 11 miles from his home."
"Pettit said attorneys representing the officers agreed to settle the suit for $150,000 in February. Both sides signed the agreement and the judge canceled a March trial date and closed the case."
