The Truth About Guns

When Hornady released the 6mm ARC (Advanced Rifle Cartridge) in 2020, they set out to solve a challenging problem: how to get maximum long-range performance from the AR-15 platform without sacrificing reliability or requiring major modifications. The result is a cartridge that’s quickly gaining attention from both hunters and precision shooters. With its ability to deliver excellent accuracy out to 1,000 yards, the 6mm ARC is redefining what’s possible with America’s favorite rifle platform.

The Origins

Like many great innovations in the shooting world, the 6mm ARC was born from military requirements.

Anytime shootings happen between family members, it’s a tragic situation. But when a mother has to shoot her own son in a self-defense situation, it somehow seems even more tragic.

That’s exactly what happened in November in Bethel Township, Pennsylvania. According to a report at Local21news.com, a 64-year-old woman called the police to report she had just shot her son, who had broken into her home. When officers arrived at the residence on Little Mountain Road, they found 32-year-old Sean Clemens in the basement, dead of multiple bullet wounds.

U.S. Representative Barry Moore from Alabama has joined Representative Eric Burlison of Missouri in co-sponsoring a bill that seeks to dismantle and shut down the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). In the past, I have been skeptical of this idea as eliminating the agency does not necessarily put an end to some of the amoral legislation it enforces, and moving these duties over to the FBI would be like complaining that your 3rd-grade teacher is unfair and replacing them with the Gestapo.

I’ve often watched divorced parents exchanging kids with their former spouses in a convenience store parking lot near my home and wondered how often fights occur during such transfers. While violent crime statistics don’t include figures on that particular occurrence, one such child transfer recently led to a Colorado man killing another man.

Investigators looking into the fatal shooting in the parking lot of a Woodland Park, Colorado, grocery store are leaning toward a determination that the shooter fired the fatal shots in self-defense.

A three-judge panel of the 4th District Appellate Court is deciding the fate of Illinois’ requirement that gun buyers qualify for and acquire a Firearms Owners Identification (FOID) card before purchasing a gun.

According to a report at hometownregister.com, the court heard testimony in the case brought by Guns Save Life on December 19. The pro-gun organization argues that the FOID requirement is unconstitutional under the Second Amendment and that there are no comparable historical laws to meet the second Bruen standard.

Yeah, it’s an ACOG clone. Most ACOG clones are Alibaba/Wish crap trying to pose as an ACOG. The Cosmic Tactical Saturn 4×32 has clear ACOG vibes but still stands out with its angular design. Honestly, they have a bit of marketing showing Lara Croft from Tomb Raider from the PS1 era when she was all angles, and it caught my attention. They were willing to send one out for me to test and review alongside their new quick detachable optics mount. 

I was drawn to the optic’s angular shape and ACOG-like capability.

School shootings are horrendous events that affect far more people than they should. As tragedies go, the act of a student shooting and killing teachers and other students shows a disrespect for life that is impossible for most of us to comprehend.

The most recent event, where a female student killed a teacher and another student and wounded several others at a Christian School in Wisconsin, is no less tragic. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all affected.

In case you haven’t noticed, the Firearms Policy Coalition is currently litigating more Second Amendment-related lawsuits than just about all of the other gun-rights groups combined. That’s because the organization’s overall strategy is focused on restoring the right to keep and bear arms by having immoral laws struck down in the courts.

The FPC’s latest target is our nation’s capital—specifically Washington, D.C.’s ban on firearms magazines that hold more than 10 rounds. The case, Wehr-Darroca v.

For decades, shooting forums have been locked in friendly (and sometimes not-so-friendly) banter over which round reigns supreme. 

Is it the hard-hitting, fast-flying 10mm that commands respect with its superior ballistics? 

Or does the tried-and-true .45 ACP, with its hefty slug and storied history, still hold the crown?

Understanding the Ballistics: 10mm vs .45 ACP

When comparing the 10mm and .45 ACP for self-defense, it’s essential to delve into the ballistics of each caliber.

How on earth does a 2-year-old get a hold of a loaded gun? Ask 18-year-old Andrew Sanchez of Fresno, California, whose firearm somehow ended up in the hands of a child, resulting in the death of a 22-year-old mother. 

Sanchez was arrested inside the couple’s apartment after the toddler discharged the unsecured firearm, fatally wounding his mother, Jessinya Mina, with a single 9mm round to the upper body. Sanchez and Mina were reportedly relaxing in bed on the evening of Friday, December 6 when a “preventable” tragedy took place, according to the Fresno Police Department.

Results of a brand-new McGlothlin & Associates survey indicate that the American public favors judges who strictly follow the Second Amendment and politicians who defend the right to keep and bear arms.

The national survey, conducted the week of December 11 and commissioned by the Second Amendment Foundation, also revealed that the majority of Americans believe incoming President Donald Trump and a Republican majority in Congress will better protect Second Amendment rights than Democrats would have if they had been victorious.

Brass cartridge cases have been the traditional material used in ammunition since the beginning. Partly because it was inexpensive and easy to form. Then along comes a company like Shell Tech, who makes a totally different cartridge case that completely outperforms brass in so many ways you might question why you are still using brass all together. The FBI uses Shell Tech 5.56 NATO ammo, and there are several special forces teams overseas that have made the switch to Shell Tech ammunition.

The Crime Prevention Research Center (CPRC) has released the latest in its series of annual reports on trends in concealed carry permits in America.

The report, Concealed Carry Permit Holders Across the United States: 2024 (Nov. 29, 2024), by Dr. John Lott, Jr,. Carlisle E.

With many unidentified drones flying over major cities in several states in the East and most recently out West, it’s hard to go just about anywhere without them soon becoming the central topic of conversation. And that includes deer camp.
