In case you missed the news, on March 11 Sen. Dianne Feinstein, along with 37 co-sponsors, introduced the "Assault Weapons Ban of 2021." Maybe because the 10-year rifle ban in the Clinton Administration worked so well. (That's a joke. Even Clinton's own people admitted it accomplished nothing.)

He got it in the vicinity of Erlangen or Heroldsberg, Germany, toward the end of the war when German civilians were required to turn in any firearms they had.

Jefferson Davis: Slavery and the Death of States' Rights

Two individuals come to mind at the mention of the Confederate States of America, General Robert E. Lee and Former-President of the Confederate States, Jefferson Davis. Both General Lee and Davis were men of principle and conviction as they stood up for what they believed; however, for a variety of historically complicated reasons, General Lee became a far bigger symbol of the Confederacy after its demise than Davis. Although Davis remains a sort of avatar for the end of states� rights, some have come to view him as a Southern patriot.

Much has changed since last summer.

Remember purchasing a polymer-framed striker-fired pistol only to spend even more to customize it to fit your needs? Yes, we all do. Add weight to the frame, lighten the slide, change the grip angle, add a beavertail, add optics capability�the list goes on and on. In the end, you could almost triple the pistol�s original cost. Today, gun makers offer pistols with all those extras as standard. Case in point is the new RIA STK100, which is a feature-rich factory pistol that sets a new highwater mark for this trend.

This is, as far as I can tell, a first for Shooting Illustrated: A motor vehicle review. Now, I�ve had a motorcycle license almost as long as I�ve had my carry permit, and one thing I�ve noticed from participating in both communities is a fair amount of crossover. You�re likely to find more than the average number of gunowners in a group of motorcyclists, and vice versa. Perhaps it�s the enhanced feeling of freedom? Maybe it�s being in control of your own destiny? Whatever the reason, bikers like guns and gunnies like bikes. At least that�s how it seems to me.
