The Second Amendment Foundation, an organization responsible for many, if not the most, gun rights litigation ongoing in the U.S. today, is celebrating its 50th anniversary today, Aug. 26, at its headquarters in Bellevue, Wash.
In a brief announcement, the foundation notes, “SAF has scored numerous successes in the past half century, including the all-too-important McDonald v. City of Chicago decision handed down by the Supreme Court in 2010. SAF’s win in McDonald has been critical to the fight against modern gun control, as it paved the way for legal action against states and municipalities for violations of the Second Amendment. |

In the world of magnum hunting cartridges, none are more ubiquitous than the 7mm Remington Magnum and 300 Winchester Magnum.
These two belted magnum cartridges have been at odds with each other since their release in the 1960’s as they both offer extremely impressive downrange performance that surpassed the most popular hunting rounds of the day, like the 30-06 Springfield. |

This ruling by U.S. District Judge John Broomes marks a significant moment in the ongoing debate over gun control laws in the United States, following a precedent set by the Supreme Court in 2022 that expanded gun rights.

Persons subject to civil domestic violence restraining orders are prohibited from possessing firearms or ammunition under federal law. A lower court held that this temporary ban violated the Second Amendment, applying the Supreme Court’s “text, history, and tradition” test adopted in 2022 in New York State Rifle and Pistol Association v. Bruen.

The 4th Circuit Court of appeals has reversed an earlier decision by a three-judge panel of the same court, upholding Maryland’s Handgun Qualification License (HQL) requirement.
In the case Maryland Shall Issue v. Moore, a three-judge panel last November had ruled that the law was unconstitutional. But the court had vacated the agreement until the case could be heard by the full court, which upheld the law despite the earlier decision.

It’s one of the biggest cases to be submitted to the Supreme Court for certiorari (review) in recent memory, for the third time, and if the high court takes it, the ruling is likely to have a shattering effect on the gun control crusade, and even the Wall Street Journal is acknowledging that much in a Monday morning article.

Tennessee's top Republican leaders on Monday threatened to withhold tens of millions of dollars in state funding from left-leaning Memphis should leaders continue with plans to place three local gun control initiatives on the November ballot.
Earlier this year, Memphis' city council approved asking voters in November if they wanted to tweak the city charter to require permits to carry a handgun, ban the possession of AR-15 style rifles and implement a so-called “red flag” ordinance, which allows law enforcement officials to remove firearms from those found to be an imminent danger to themselves or others.

The gun feeds from a 10-round rotary magazine and features a lovely ergonomic stock with rubber inlays readily adjustable for length of pull and comb height.

In the land of the rimfire rifle cartridge, the 22 long rifle with its 40-grain bullet remains the most popular round for plinking and light pest control.
However, sometimes a .22LR simply isn’t powerful enough to take on larger varmints, like coyotes, and lacks the muzzle velocity to take down prairie dogs at longer ranges. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom of Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any bands of regular troops that can be, on any pretense, raised in the United States. — Noah Webster in "An Examination into the Leading Principles of the Federal Constitution," 1787, in Paul Ford, ed., Pamphlets on the Constitution of the United States, at p. 56 (New York, 1888). |
