I know I don�t stand alone when I say that I am absolutely tired of reading headlines such as �Three Shot, One killed, Near Sacramento City College.� .
My feelings of shock and surprise have long ago been exchanged with extreme emotions of rage and bitter annoyance above all. Why does our so called �progressive� country still permit us to own guns? |

Colt Defense and FN America have been awarded a joint long-term contract to supply the U.S. military with new M4 and M4A1 carbines with an estimated completion date late September 2020. The contract is worth $212 million.
It�s a firm-fixed-price contract between Colt, FN and the Army Contracting Command at the Picatinny Arsenal. The contract comes at a great time for Colt, which recently filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection to resolve its roughly $250 million of debt. |

If you happen to think killing two birds with one stone is a bit inefficient, or you have found your way into a zombie apocalypse, you might be interested in a special type of gun known as a �punt gun,� that used to be somewhat common among commercial waterfowl hunters. What�s so special about this gun? It is capable of killing upwards of 50-100 birds in a single shot. |

The first tanks were developed during the latter half of World War I, and right along with them came the first anti-tank rifles. Specifically, the German Mauser company designed a massive scaled-up bolt action rifle using a 13.2mm armor-piercing cartridge which could shoot clean through the new Allied tanks. However, despite more than 15,000 of these rifles being produced by the end of the war, they were not enough to turn the tide of advancing Allied armies reinforced with many divisions of fresh American troops. |

Dick's 1956 short story (which is also now a new Fox TV series).

Today during the Gun Rights Policy Conference in Arizona, yours truly interviewed New Jersey 2nd Amendment Activist Alexander Roubian. He is the president of the New Jersey Second Amendment Society and was in Arizona to network with other activists and discuss ideas. Roubian has a compelling back history as to why not only the 2nd Amendment is important but the fundamental right to self defense is as well. |

Madeline Singas, Acting District Attorney for Nassau County, New York, is a hypocrite. Worse, she is willing to gamble with the lives and safety of her staff and their families for her own perceived political benefit. While claiming �a commitment to justice, compassion, and integrity� and boasting about keeping �more vulnerable people safe,� she enforces a policy of mandatory disarmament amongst the attorneys who put their own safety on the line to administer justice in her jurisdiction. On Monday, Prof. Eugene Volokh broke the story that the Nassau County District Attorney�s Office bars prosecutors from having handguns, even at home.

There is an ongoing push in Congress to ban the ability of states to legalize Internet gaming. Rumors are swirling in Congress of an end of the year deal that will impose a short-term gaming ban; they are calling it a �moratorium and study,� that, if passed, will violate the 10th Amendment to the Constitution as much as a permanent one. |

Prosecutors in Green County have cleared two sheriff�s deputies of wrongdoing in connection with the fatal shooting of a homicide suspect who pointed an empty gun at them.
In a report Friday, District Attorney Gary Luhman said Deputies Cody Kanable and John Schuetz were acting in self-defense and were justified when they shot 25-year-old Francisco Benitez-Santiago, of Monroe, in July.
According to Luhman�s report, Benitez-Santiago was hiding behind a building when he turned toward the deputies and pointed a pistol at them. They had no room to retreat. |

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled seven years ago in District of Columbia vs. Heller that the Second Amendment �conferred an individual right to keep and bear arms,� but it also said that right was �not unlimited.� Government and courts have been wrestling ever since over just how far an individual�s right goes, and a decision last week by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit may help draw some much-needed boundaries.

What do you get when you combine a box full of dry ice and six firearms? Other than good chance of nobody ever loaning you a gun again, you get a pretty neat science experiment. The guys behind the YouTube channel LDF Research decided to pack a crate full of dry ice and then freeze several guns to test whether they would run when frozen (almost) solid. Needless to say, when you can�t even chamber a round, firing the rifle is not going to be easy. |

An eye peers down the metal sights. Lungs expand and deflate. A twitch of a finger starts a chain reaction as the trigger is pulled. In an instant, the firing pin strikes the primer of a bullet or shell, forming a spark, which ignites the gunpowder and launches the projectile forward through the barrel in the desired direction.
According to the Pew Research Center, about one in three Americans owns a firearm. Vehement debate surrounds the purpose and place of guns in American society. Political action groups lobby for their protection or for their control. |

An associate law professor has filed suit against the University of Missouri, contending that its ban on having firearms on campus contradicts a new state constitutional provision.
Royce de R. Barondes, who teaches a class on firearms law, seeks a court order declaring that the ban is unconstitutional under an amendment approved by state voters last year. It says that courts must apply strict scrutiny to laws restricting the possession of firearms and ammunition, according to the Columbia Daily Tribune and the Columbia Missourian.

| QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
| By calling attention to a well-regulated militia for the security of the Nation, and the right of each citizen to keep and bear arms, our Founding Fathers recognized the essentially civilian nature of our economy. Although it is extremely unlikely that the fears of governmental tyranny, which gave rise to the second amendment, will ever be a major danger to our Nation, the amendment still remains an important declaration of our basic military-civilian relationships, in which every citizen must be ready to participate in the defense of the country. For that reason I believe the second amendment will always be important. --JOHN F. KENNEDY |
