Democrats in Congress are quietly pushing a mammoth gun control bill that would, among other things, ban “assault weapons” and mandate a license to purchase a firearm.

Frustrated with the Trump administration’s decision to categorize gun stores as “essential,” gun control groups and Democratic U.S. Senators are hoping to keep firearms out of American hands by indefinitely extending wait times for gun purchases.

I think calling the B-14R perfect would be a little pretentious but I believe it represents the absolute best bang for the buck if you want to mirror your Remington 700 in .22LR form.

Smith & Wesson’s latest addition to the M&P SHIELD lineup is intended to reduce the barriers to shooting a semiautomatic handgun. The M&P 9 SHIELD EZ is touted as easy to use from all perspectives. Many have said it’s ideal for those with lower grip strength, like women and the elderly, but who wouldn’t want a gun that’s easier to use?

The Spot Shot is a Wi-Fi camera that can attach to virtually any spotting scope to take photos and video of whatever you happen to be shooting at. Plus, unlike many products in the firearms world, it’s relatively inexpensive: MSRP is $119.99, but I’ve seen it for as little as $74.99.

There is a whole industry geared up to supply all of your shooting needs but a fun day in your garage doesn’t require a second mortgage. There is a world of targets and gadgets that are cheap or even free if you know where to look.

Wild Bill Hickok was the original Old Western gunfighter. Like most professional purveyors of violence, he left his mark but died both young and hard.

Sig has made the leap into the deep end of the pool to compete with the well-established pillars of the micro market, the Smith & Wesson Shield, and the Glock 43 9mms. It certainly looked and felt good, and it held more bullets than its rival competitors, but looks are sometimes deceiving. The true test is when you put a product side by side with its competitors and see how they stack up. So after a not so patient wait to get the newly popular P365 its time to get down to the range, scales and numbers to see how it does.

It does, however, have downsides. It lets everyone know you are armed, which may make you the first victim in a shooting.
