The right of the citizens to bear arms in defense of themselves and the State …
It looks like Senator Coburn is planning on an amendment to S.2483 that would require all lands under jurisdiction of the Department of the Interior to follow state law in regards to possession of firearms. You can read Coburn’s case for passing this amendment here.
I have heard also that John McCain will be signing on as a co-sponsor of this amendment. Any bets on whether Hillary or Obama will? Just keep that in mind for those who claim there’s no difference between McCain and the Democrats.
This is one barrel who’s bottom I’d be happy to scrape, but this blogger isn’t all that happy with Florida’s poor ranking. I’m too busy to fisk today, but that’s OK, because Rustmeister did it for us.
SayUncle has a link over to Bruce Stern’s collection, which is being auctioned off. He’s an NRA board member that recently died, and was quite a collector. I saw the parts of his collection that were donated to the NRA museum, which were displayed at the last Board of Directors meeting, and they were very impressive pieces.
If you have 40 grand burning a hole in your pocket, and ever wanted an MP-40 submachine gun, or your very own German Maxim machine gun, now’s your chance.  For a little less money, you could have your own flame thrower, or perhaps a 20MM anti-tank gun?
Clayton Cramer thinks that Barack Obama is lying when he says he doesn’t want to take anyone’s guns. I think so too.
From Call me Ahab, lots of cool stuff. The fact that Remington has made an AR for the hunting market says something about the anti-gunner’s claim that these have no sporting use doesn’t it?
Ahab has a summary of his first day at SHOT, which includes such fine guns as the KRISS Super V Vector Carbine. I would very much want one of those, except I’m hoping they sell barrels that would allow for conversion to an SBR. I’ll pay the NFA tax to have a shorter barrel. He also has some pictures of The Smith & Wesson “Night Guard”, which is a new line of carry revolvers, which look interesting. I’ve been thinking about one of their Airlight revolvers for coat carry, but one of these might do nicely.
Gun Pundit is running the SHOT coverage of several new EBRs. Check out the SIG 556 SWAT, the KRISS Super V Submachine gun, the Arsenal Miller Receiver AK, and the most interesting gun to me, the Magpul Masada, which will be made by Bushmaster, and sold as the Bushmaster ACR (Adaptive Combat Rifle). It’s available in second quarter 2008, which is handy, since that’ll be before the elections, where, since so many gun owners seem intent to stay home, the Democrats will take the White House, and sweep more Democrats into Congress. Hopefully the 2010 Assault Weapons Ban will have a grandfather clause too.
Looks like Ruger has a new subcompact out for the concealed carry market.
Read more coverage at Down Range TV. I have large hands, so subcompact pistols have never felt right in my hands. My regular carry piece is a Glock 19, which works great for appeasing my shooter side, by cramps my fashion sense, since the way you can dress is limited when you carry something that big. I am eager to take a closer look at this pistol, especially as summer approaches.
Because you suck, and we hate you, unless we get bought by Cerberus Capital, in which case we may hate you less.
Dave Hardy has some interesting links regarding the history of Jack Miller of the first second amendment case, US v. Miller, that are well worth reading.
