By Samara McPhedran, Griffith University Immediately after the Christchurch massacre in 2019, the New Zealand government pledged dramatic gun law changes. A year later, amid an ongoing elevated terror level, the government has quietly dropped its promises the laws will prevent future mass shootings. It has shifted instead to platitudes about never wanting to see […]

Back in 2017, not long after SIG SAUER won the Army’s modular handgun system competition, Steyr Arms sued SIG over their P250 and P320 modular designs. The lawsuit claimed that SIG infringed on Steyr’s 2001 “plastic housing and multifunction metal part removably mounted” design patent. Basically, the Austrian gun maker claimed that an internal metal […]

What follows is commentary I submitted in response to a column in the Minnesota StarTribune, penned by a police officer advocating a “red flag” confiscation law. I didn’t really expect them to publish it, and they didn’t. My goal in sending it to the Strib was to plant some seeds in the mind of whoever […]

By Alex Ooley Many states around the country, like Virginia, have been making a push to implement stringent gun control measures that include, among other things, universal background checks, magazine capacity limits, and so-called “assault weapons” bans. These attempts to regulate firearms are nothing new, but the efforts to implement these sorts of laws and regulations […]

Arizona Democrats have filed yet another “assault weapon” ban bill. This one is Senate Bill 1625. At first glance, with two notable stand-outs, it’s pretty much par for the gun-grabbing course; a ban on assaulty-looking guns with grandfathering. But the first notable item is just how inclusive this bill is. All semiautomatic rifles that take […]

The Remington 700 CP – for “Chassis Pistol” – is a handheld, er…gun from Remington, which was on the floor for SHOT Show 2020 (it was actually announced a year ago). It’s seems a stretch to call it a “pistol” when it’s so obviously a stockless rifle, but naming conventions and ATF regulations being what […]

  At SHOT Show’s Range Day we all put some rounds downrange with Franklin Armory‘s new binary trigger for the Ruger 10/22. So much fun! Frankly, a binary trigger for the 10/22 makes far more sense to me than for the other firearms Franklin makes ’em for, so I’d say it’s about time. Three-way selector, […]

Trying to judge the most anti-gun Democrat in the 2020 presidential nomination field is like trying to determine which which TV talking head is the most insipid and annoying.
