This Week

A Fish and Game Commissioner in Idaho has been forced to resign after public outcry following a report by the Idaho Statesman detailing his recent hunting trip to Africa.

Montana-based firearms manufacturer Shield Arms announced this week the release of the world’s first folding AR-15 lower receiver, the aptly-named Folding Lower Receiver (FLR). Currently only offered in the 9mm SA-9 Stripped Receiver, the FLR features a folding mechanism machined directly into the 7075 billet aluminum receiver.

“It is possible to believe in responsible gun ownership and to believe that there should be regulations on that,” Abrams said. “Antonin Scalia said that, and we have to believe as a nation, that when our communities are vulnerable, when you can’t go into a synagogue or a church or a school without fear for your life, there is something wrong with our system of gun ownership.”

“It’s all subliminal, but it is designed to create an impression about firearms, gun owners and their desire to add further restrictions on the Second Amendment,” he stated.

International shipping giant Fed-Ex announced yesterday their decision to sever ties with the National Rifle Association, according to Reuters. But the move has nothing to do with the recent mass murder in a Pittsburg synagogue, the company says. Instead, it claims that business members of the NRA did not bring in enough shipping volume to warrant the discount program it offered to the pro-gun group.

The new 12-gauge is called the “Nightstick” and it’s a successor to the Shockwave, now with traditional wood furniture.

“Nobody needs one for home defense. Nobody needs one to hunt. Nobody needs one, period – other than to kill a lot of people fast, as we are now seeing time and again,” Morgan continued.

Our work isn’t just in races for U.S. Congress. As critically important as maintaining pro-gun majorities in the U.S. Senate and House is, every level of government is being targeted by our opponents. In every governor’s race and also in state legislative races, we need pro-gun candidates to protect our freedom for future generations.

As gun manufacturers crank out higher quality production rifles, custom barreled actions are becoming less necessary for shooting crazy-small groups. It’s tough to beat a skilled gunsmith, but shooters are realizing that a factory piece can be nearly as accurate and just as much fun to shoot. That trend was on full display earlier this month when Scottish benchrest shooter David Sharp (yes, his real name) posted a 3.090-inch 1000-yard group using a Savage Model 12 F-TR barreled action chambered in .308 WIN.
