"In a move that will likely spell the end of gun control as we know it, a group is working with designers to put firearm designs into the public domain on the Internet which will allow anyone with a 3-D printer to 'print' their own firearm."
"Workable models have already been made, but designers are refining designs to make them better." ... |

"The AR-15 is The Mother of All Versatile Rifles. Near? Far? Wherever you are, a properly sorted AR can open the door to some deadly accurate marksmanship. But moving seamlessly from sniping to CQB requires an optic that splits the difference between long distance love and in yer face aggression. Ideally, you should swap scopes depending on the mission profile. But why swap scopes when you don’t have to? If the action gets up close and personal, just turn your AR sideways, gangsta style, and take care of bidness. Three-gun competitors and tacticoolaid drinkers will tell you: dual optic ARs are all the rage. There’s a mount for that. ..." ... |

"When I first started shooting I knew just enough to know I needed to protect my ears. Somehow. So I went down to my neighborhood Wally World and picked up a $15 pair of muffs that I reckoned would do the job. Then I learned my lesson. While I was at the range, the left muff fell off and I was left with the bells of St. Mary’s ringing in my head for the rest of the day. Seriously, though, if you’re serious about shooting you need to be serious about your gear, but being serious doesn’t mean your gear has to be seriously expensive. Just seriously good . . ." ... |

"The US Army Marksmanship Unit has produced some useful YouTube videos for the average shooter. In the video below, Sgt. Joe Hein, an International Rifle competitor, discusses how to prepare for the first shot from a cold bore. That is, the first shot of the day which for many hunters may be the only shot of the day."
"Sgt. Hein illustrates the difference in grouping for a cold rifle with a clean bore versus one with a somewhat dirty bore. You tend to get more consistent groups from a cold rifle with a dirty bore." ... |

"John Moses Browning is arguably the greatest firearm designer who ever lived. Sure there have been innovations since his death, but the scope of his work still stands today. We are talking about the guy who invented the 1911, the Winchester 94 and the M1919 machine gun all three of which are still in use today. And all but one are over 100 years old, the M1919 is a youngn’ at 93."

"How much can you carry? If you'll be bugging out in a well equipped deuce-and-a-half, weight may not be an issue. If you will have to walk anywhere, weight will become a primary concern."
"I have a long history of wilderness wandering. I've hiked most of the Appalachian trail. I've hiked all over New Mexico and Colorado. I spent a summer in the Boundary Waters and the Quetico, canoeing. I've lived for months at a time out of a backpack."
"But bugging out is different. Though weight is a factor, so is convenience." ... |

He also presented GSL’s President John Boch with a plaque to say thanks for the work Guns Save Life does for civil rights and supporting our troops." ... |

"A billboard on Clovis’ South Prince Street is turning heads, to the point of raising concerns about its possibly insensitive racial wording."
"The message advertises the website www.murderedmexicans.org, but says little else. Its message is vague, but is grabbing the attention of passersby, which is the point, according to the Odessa, Texas, man who paid for it."

"Wednesday, the [OIG] released to the public its long (very long) awaited report on the numerous failings within the [DoJ] that led to the 'Project Gunwalker' scandal. Within minutes, various administration apologists would have us believe that somehow they had processed the entire 512 page report, or at least enough of it to determine that it had somehow 'exonerated' Attorney General Eric Holder from any wrongdoing in this abomination."
"Think about that, though. How could a report written by the Office of the Inspector General--part of the Department of Justice, and thus written by subordinates of Attorney General Holder--be seen as offering anything approaching impartiality in any absolution it grants Holder? ..." ... |

"The highly anticipated Justice Department Inspector General report ... on the Obama administration’s deadly 'Fast and Furious' scheme that armed Mexican cartels was released Wednesday, laying the blame on more than a dozen senior officials within the department and the [ATF]. Critics, however, are already tearing the 'whitewash' document apart."
"Several establishment media outlets quickly trumpeted the claim that the report 'clears' disgraced Attorney General Eric Holder of wrongdoing in the scandal ... But gun rights activist David Codrea, who played a central role in exposing the gun-running scandal, said the hasty media proclamations 'could not possibly reflect adequate scrutiny and analysis that effectively assess its findings.'" ... |

"That’s the serious question that all gun owners must get answered before casting a vote in the 2012 Presidential election. Lost amid the pomp and circumstance, and 'Rah, Rah!' cheering at the Republican convention has been the thousands of ruined lives as a result of the BATFE scam to walk guns into Mexico. ..."
"The Obama team have made clear they believe that the gunwalker scandal that is fast and furious needs to be kept secret ... The Romney team have not said they will seek justice for the hundreds of dead Mexicans and US Citizens who paid the ultimate price at the hands of law breaking BATFE employees. We need these questions answered so gun owners can make an informed vote for President." ... |

"Obama and his cronies, Charles Shumer, D-NY, Frank Lautenberg, D-NJ, Diane Feinstein, D-Calif., and Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., would jump at the chance to impose total gun control. Trampling on the Constitution means nothing to these gun grabbers." ... |

Now a Beehive State legislator wants to know why. 'The range belongs to the people,' Sen. Mark Madsen, R-Eagle Mountain, said. 'We need to make sure that people are not restricted in their use because of an overstep of authority.' Or an overabundance of political correctness . . ." ... |

"Does the Supreme Court matter for the 2012 election? It certainly should."
"A President’s ability to appoint Supreme Court justices is a lasting legacy that can shape the course of our country for years in the future. The Supreme Court may appear to be a group of robed academics, but the justices tackle issues that impact the everyday lives of citizens, including whether the Second Amendment protects an individual right to own firearms, Miranda and other safeguards afforded to criminal defendants, what role race may play in college admissions, and whether Congress can force Americans to engage in commerce." ... |

I said that "when he [Justice Scalia] looks for the original meaning of eighteenth-century constitutional provisions-as he did in District of Columbia v. Heller, holding that an ordinance forbidding people to own handguns even for the defense of their homes violated the Second Amendment-Scalia is doing legislative history.' ..." ... |

"Federal prosecutors in Reno dismissed four ATF cases involving people who had been indicted by federal grand juries on illegal weapons and drug charges. The prosecutors turned away other cases involving violent criminals, allowing them to walk free and face no charges, the RGJ found." ...

"If you’re ever within an hour or two of Evansville, Indiana on the last Saturday of the month, I invite you to check out the Second Amendment Patriots meeting."
"Like Guns Save Life, the 2nd Amendment Patriots turn out scores of high quality, very friendly people who share a passion for guns and gun ownership."
"They have fewer guns actually on display at their meetings than we do. That’s in part because they mostly *wear* their guns, in the loaded condition."
"The 2A Patriots has a slightly more political flavor to their meetings. Their president, the affable Jim Tomes, is quite charismatic to say the least." ... |
