CDC Statements Resurrect Concerns Over Agency’s Past Anti-gun Advocacy
Last month in this space, I detailed much of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) history of advocating for gun control.

AMERICANS NOT BUYING GUN CONTROL’S ‘CRIME PREVENTION’ RUSE
Gun control groups worked for decades to impose Second Amendment restrictions that do little to reduce crime. They’ve used public relations campaigns, scare tactics and rhetoric that never addresses those actually committing these tragedies. Over the past two years, though, Americans have experienced first-hand what happens when they are left …
POLL ECHOES INDUSTRY DATA: HISPANIC-AMERICANS VALUE GUN RIGHTS
An Axios/Ipsos poll showed Hispanic swing voters are concerned about crime, criminal violence and personal safety. That finding wasn’t a surprise to NSSF.

Hardware: ATN ThOR 4 Thermal Riflescope
About 10 years ago I was invited on a hog-eradication hunt in Florida. The hogs had multiplied on an orange farm and were devastating the orchard, but because the vegetation was so thick—and because smart hogs quickly go nocturnal in the face of persecution—helicopter hunting was futile. Trapping worked somewhat …
The Truth is Out on Constitutional Carry’s Impact
There’s an old Monty Python sketch in which a theatrical radio narrator desperately tries to make an exceedingly boring story sound suspenseful and melodramatic. “June the 4th, 1973,” the voice says, “was much like any other summer’s day in Peterborough, and Ralph Mellish, a file clerk at an insurance company, …

Century Arms offers a wide variety of popular firearms, from pistols to rifles and shotguns. One of the company’s best-known products, however, is the WASR-10, with a design just about as identical to the AK-47 as you can get today. It’s not fully automatic, for example, and the company installs quality …
LAPD TO LOS ANGELENOS: ‘JUST BE A VICTIM.’
Los Angeles residents are living through a nightmare scenario. The local district attorney announced he’s releasing a 24-year-old convicted murderer after serving only six years of a 50-year sentence. Police are, at the same time, telling everyone, including would-be criminals, that they’re unable to quickly respond to calls for help and that …
Review: Wilkinson Arms Linda Carbine
The gun business has a way of resurrecting old models long after they seem dead and gone. Some, like the AMT AutoMag, reappear after decades of dormancy, while others like the Bren Ten and Wildey Survivor still await reclamation. Common factors for successful comebacks are enthusiasts who have the will—and …
REMINGTON FIREARMS JOINS GUN INDUSTRY MIGRATION
Score another legendary firearm manufacturer setting down roots in a friendlier state. Remington Firearms announced the company will establish a corporate headquarters and expand production in La Grange, Georgia. “The decision to locate in Georgia is very simple, the state of Georgia is not only a business-friendly state, it’s a …
Weatherby Mark V: History & Disassembly
In 1945, when Weatherby’s, Inc., began offering rifles, the action that was to become the flagship of the line wasn’t even the proverbial gleam in founder Roy Weatherby’s eye. Early Weatherbys were generally built on FN Mauser, Schultz & Larsen or Mathieu actions. All that changed in 1954 when Weatherby, in collaboration …
