Over the last two weeks, we’ve seen two mass shootings. Much as I’d like to say it, this isn’t unusual. Such horrible events seem to happen in clusters, where we’ll go months with relative quiet, only to see a number of shootings in fairly quick succession. Such incidents always spark debate. We simply have to find some way to address the problem. The thing is, we kind of already have a plan, and it’s one that doesn’t require us to trip over ourselves passing new laws. All it takes is for people to decide to do something. We just stop…
“Farmington police shoot and kill man after responding to wrong home,” Albuquerque’s NBC affiliate KOB4 Eyewitness News reported Friday on an incident from the previous Wednesday. Police were responding to a domestic violence call and “mistakenly approached the wrong house.” Per the New Mexico State Police, which is investigating the shooting, the police knocked on the door and announced themselves. “When no one answered, officers asked dispatch to call the reporting party back and have them come to the front door.” Killed was homeowner Robert Dotson, 52, who answered his door with a gun in hand. Since it was the wrong house,…
I remember when Colorado was a fairly pro-gun state. Those days are now long behind us, though, as the state seems determined to follow the same path toward Second Amendment infringement states like California have followed. Their next target appears to be so-called ghost guns. After all, while we know the dangers are overstated, the media loves to spout them anyway. Yet they may soon be illegal in Colorado. Making, possessing and selling so-called ghost guns, the untraceable homemade weapons linked to several recent high-profile Colorado shootings, will likely soon be illegal in the state. Democrats in the state legislature Wednesday…
On Jan. 10, Governor J.B. Pritzker signed into law an Illinois gun ban that criminalized the possession of more than 170 semi-automatic firearms and certain magazines. Four plaintiffs’ groups sued in federal court, alleging the law violates the 2nd Amendment right to “keep and bear arms.” Second Amendment Foundation Founder and Executive Vice President Alan Gottlieb said, “Illinois has banned the future sale, importation, purchase, delivery, and manufacture of the most popular rifle in the United States, along with their standard capacity magazines. People who already own such firearms must now register their guns with the State Police. This ban violates the Constitutional rights of…
Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer signed two pieces of gun control into law on Thursday, with another bill to establish a “red flag” firearms seizure law likely to be approved by the state legislature’s narrow Democratic majority as early as this afternoon. Surrounded by anti-gun activists and lawmakers, Whitmer declared the measures to be “common sense gun policy.” Sen. Rosemary Bayer, D-Keego Harbor, let out a scream of “finally” when taking the lectern to speak prior to the bill signing. She had been one of the driving forces behind safe storage legislation following the shooting at Oxford High School in 2021,…

When Russia initially invaded Ukraine, it was daily news, almost incessant. As we move along, it’s not in the news as much as it had been. The media’s attention span with most subjects is about one week. Sometimes it gets drawn out longer, but their rabid coverage often wanes, even with protracted events such as the war. We often hear about the aid that the US is supplying to Ukraine. But what, exactly, have we sent as far as weapons are concerned? January 2023 In January of 2023, the US Department Of Defense (DOD) announced that it would be sending…
The M1895 (Steyr M95) is a straight-pull bolt-action rifle designed by the eponymous Ferdinand Ritter von Mannlicher – and its sights SUCKED
Ages ago, my family got into Civil War reenactment. As a result, we had tons of catalogs laying around that had all manner of stuff from around that time. Obviously, I liked the guns. Perhaps my favorite, based purely on aesthetics, was the pepperbox revolver. If you’re unfamiliar with it, think of a Gatling gun in your hand and you’ve got a good idea of what it looked like, though the operation was very, very different. The guns aren’t really a thing in this day and age, yet apparently, you can still get arrested for having one in California. Just after 8…
