Belgian company FN Herstal released their FN 5.7x28mm cartridge in 1991, after NATO requested a replacement for the 9x19mm cartridge. Kevlar body armor was increasingly being used, and was effective against the 9mm, so it became a priority to develop a cartridge that could defeat this body armor. The 5.7x28mm accomplished this task by penetrating a level IIIA vest at 200 meters without any difficulty. As well as its armor-piercing ability and high velocity, the 5.7x28mm cartridge decreases the risk of collateral damage because the shape of the bullet reduces the chance of ricochet.

I never got to shoot a large amount of .22s when I was younger. I kind of skipped toward centerfire stuff. It has been very refreshing in the last year or so to revisit a good spread of rimfire rifles, and I’m here today to tell you about yet another one that has left a lasting impression – the Bergara BMR. |

The entire time I watched the video immediately below this paragraph, which looks at the stark realities of modern energy production and storage, my granddaddy's words kept ringing in my ears. I believe that the first time he said these words to me, we were sitting in a duck blind in south Louisiana on a particularly "Blue Bird" day, when the ducks weren't flying, and there was plenty of time for him to pass along grandfatherly truisms that all fall under the universal dictum that there really is nothing new under the sun: "Son, you can fool some of the people some of the time, but you can't fool all the people all the time!" |

Lake County Councilman Charlie Brown (D-Gary) and Councilwoman Christine Cid (D-East Chicago) announced their support for a proposal to ban sales of “AR-15” firearms at gun shows held at the Lake County Fairgrounds. What they are proposing is to restrict lawful, tax-paying businesses from selling legal products to law-abiding citizens, who wish to exercise an enumerated constitutional right, at a taxpayer-funded venue during an event where the show promoter has paid to rent it. Licensed firearm dealers are bound by federal law regardless of whether firearm transfers take place at a gun show or at their regular premises.

Douglas McClenahan, a young gun designer who had amassed a wealth of experience during his employment with High Standard, Colt and Ruger, launched a firearm company of his own in 1964. He wisely opened shop in Stratford, Conn., in the heart of America’s gunmaking tradition and home to a generous supply of trained and knowledgeable staff. That firm was named Charter Arms.

As most of you know, I am a student of Old West history. However, my main area of focus is the frontier era following the Civil War, and I’ve never done any sort of in-depth study of percussion and muzzle-loading guns that predate the early cartridge revolvers. Recently though, while doing research for another article, I took the time to study up on the Colt 1851 Navy revolver. Without a doubt, the 1851 Navy was one of the most popular defense guns of the 19th Century. |

In a stunning Fact Check report, USA Today earlier this week, without fanfare, said it was true that Joe Biden once declared he “never believed that additional gun control or federal registration of guns would reduce crime.”
The remark came during debate in the mid-1980s on the Firearms Owners’ Protection Act (FOPA), the newspaper said. According to the report, the Fact Check was in response to recent circulation of part of Biden’s comments on social media. |

So-called “Red Flag” orders, or Emergency Risk Protection Orders, are designed to empower the government to confiscate Americans’ firearms without due process of law. Aside from allowing run-of-the-mill malicious actors to indulge personal grudges against law-abiding gun owners, in the current politically-charged environment these laws enable the government to target those with First Amendment-protected political views the government disfavors. |

At age 11, Christopher Miner Spencer went to live with his maternal grandfather, Josiah Hollister, a veteran of the American Revolution. It was there that young Christopher learned the rudiments of wood- and metalworking. By age 14, Spencer was apprenticed to the Mount Nebo Silk Manufacturing Co., located in South Manchester, Conn. This firm was owned by the Cheneys, one of New England’s most enterprising and influential families, and Spencer would develop a lifelong relationship with them. |

While browsing the exhibitors at the NRA Annual Meeting in Houston last month on the lookout for new guns, we saw a glimpse into a potential future of projectile arms with the Coil Accelerator. Marketed out of the North Shore Sports Club in Illinois of all places, the CA-09 is in low-rate production. In a nutshell, the makers claim it is the first-ever commercially viable electric-powered Coil Accelerator. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
