Tell Me About AK Pistols

Tue, 08/19/2014 - 10:29

I’ve been thinking of an AK pistol with an arm brace… only trouble is, I’ve never shot or handled one. Nobody I know owns one, so I don’t have an easy way to get some time with one.

Thanks.

Ares Armor on AR-15s and “LCMs” Ruling

Thu, 08/14/2014 - 09:50

Our friends over at Ares Armor have released the following letter to U.S. District Judge Catherine C. Blake in response to her recent ruling essentially stating that certain firearms including specific semi-automatic rifles are not protected by the 2nd Amendment and that civilians could be prevented from ownership. You probably have seen this matter hitting the news feeds over the past 48 hours. We have already seen the various angles on how easy it would be to pick her ruling apart. Dimitri is pretty thorough in this brief analysis pointing to facts and precedence rather than leaps of logic.
