While most of the state has been shut down, California�s Democrat-controlled state Assembly is hard at work passing anti-gun legislation. The body last week gave a thumb�s up to a pair of measures that would tack on a list of civil fines on Federal Firearms Licensees for what gun rights advocates contend are �inconsequential� errors and strengthen a law that effectively serves as a ban on modern semi-auto handguns.

In a blistering reaction to the U.S. Supreme Court�s rejection of ten gun rights cases for review, the Second Amendment Foundation declared Chief Justice John Roberts �owes every gun owner in the United States an explanation about why the high court declined to hear a number of important Second Amendment cases.�

The cases, from across the country, provided what SAF founder and Executive Vice President Alan Gottlieb compared to a buffet of legal opportunities for the court to weigh in on a Second Amendment issue for the first time in a decade.

If you can handle the recoil and shoot a 12-gauge shotgun well, then there�s little reason to go with a smaller gauge for self-defense; after all, when your life�s on the line, the more lead delivered to your attacker is almost always better; anyone who tells you a 20-gauge is just as good as a 12-gauge or a 28-gauge is just as good as a 20-gauge is not speaking from a mathematical, terminal-performance perspective, but a personal bias.

Not Funny: Firearm Prohibitionists Finally Target Elmer Fudd�s Gun

It was bound to happen. Elmer Fudd and Yosemite Sam have now been disarmed. For some in the pro-gun community, the term �Fudd� denotes a person who owns guns, typically not for self-defense, but considers themselves above the fray of Second Amendment politics. But it is not owning this or that type of gun that makes a person a Fudd. Rather, it�s an attitude of indifference to the besieged plight of gun owners generally. The name derives from Elmer Fudd, the classic Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies cartoon character who single-mindedly pursued ducks and rabbits (Daffy and Bugs in particular) with his trusty assortment of long arms, usually to his own detriment.

Along with the sweeping success of the Right-to-Carry movement, strong state firearms preemption laws have been among the most important developments over the past half-century in the way average Americans own and use firearms. To open a circa 1970 edition of ATF's State Laws and Published Ordinances is to encounter an incomprehensible patchwork of county and city regulations that made it impossible for otherwise law-abiding gun owners to confidently exercise their right to keep and bear arms.

Overlanding and hunting go together naturally. Many of us take trips each fall, staying in motels or renting a cabin, so we can have a warm home base at night after a long day of chasing roosters or sitting in a treestand. But for some, it�s smarter financially (and during these unprecedented times when social distancing is still a part of everyday life to remain healthy) to turn a truck or SUV into a mobile hunting home. And it doesn�t take loads of cash to make it happen. In fact, you will likely save money in the long run since you won�t have to pay for a room anymore.
