** Important Winchester Repeating Arms Safety Notice and Recall **
In October 2015, Winchester issued a recall and important safety notice for Winchester XPR rifles. XPR rifles have the potential to fire an unintended round when the safety switch is manipulated. During continuous product testing, Winchester found that moving the safety switch on the XPR rifle “may cause movement …
Range Report: Ruger SP101 — Light, Handy, Powerful
Over the years, among the most useful handguns I have used have been five-shot revolvers. Light, handy and powerful enough for most chores, these are excellent defensive revolvers. Another idiom I have used has been the 4-inch barrel kit gun—usually in .22 caliber. A favorite recreational shooter has been the …
Jesus Joins the NRA
“Hillary is a liar.” This was Liberty University President Jerry Falwell Jr.’s response to Sean Hannity when asked about Hillary Clinton‘s disgusting, and completely out-of-context, charge that he committed treason by encouraging LU students to defend themselves should Muslim terrorists, like the “San Bernardino Two,” ever attack Liberty University. Clinton, …
Polls Show Public Recognizes NRA Works for a Safer America; Opposes Semi-auto Ban
Despite a decades-long smear campaign that has been ratcheted up to hysteria in recent months, new polls show that Americans recognize NRA’s positive influence on the country, and that the public is less likely than ever to support a ban on popular semi-automatic firearms. A Rasmussen poll conducted November 30–December …
Supreme Court (Again) Punts on the Second Amendment, Leaves Voters to Carry the Ball
On Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court declined to review a decision of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit that upheld a Chicago-area “assault weapons” ban against a Second Amendment challenge. This was the second time this year that the Supreme Court refused to hear a Second Amendment …
Gun Control Supporters Unhinged: New Republic Says “Ban Guns— All of Them”
Inspired by last week’s New York Times front-page editorial calling for the confiscation of “large categories of weapons and ammunition,” a new article in the progressive-agenda magazine, New Republic, says that banning only some guns, but not all, is not enough. “It’s time to ban guns. Yes, all of them. …
Washington Post Skewers Obama on Shootings, Vindicates Rubio and Gun Rights Position
Just as the New York Times is doing its best to shrug off whatever remaining journalistic integrity the paper might have had, the country’s other major establishment newspaper, the Washington Post, has managed to check some facts without their usual bias. The Post’s Fact Checker column concluded that Barack Obama …
No Charges Filed, But Legal Firearms Confiscated Anyway
We’ve raised concerns before about how proposed “gun violence restraining orders” and similar firearm surrender orders can be abused and issued in cases where the police lack sufficient evidence for an arrest and simply wish to deprive an individual of the right to bear arms, and on how difficult it …
New York Times Calls for Gun Confiscation
Never let it be said that the New York Times can’t recognize the important moments in American history, nor muster the courage to express its opinions on its front page when the situation demands. In 1920, for example, feeling strongly about the upcoming presidential election, the newspaper published a front-page …
Action Needed! Urge Your U.S. Rep to Vote Against Any Anti-Gun Amendments
In the wake of last week’s horrific shooting in San Bernardino, California, President Obama and the usual cast of anti-gun politicians were — again — quick to exploit an act of terrorism to push for more gun control. NRA members need to call their U.S. Representatives today at 202-224-3121 and …
