Dean Weingarten has a good find at Ammoland.
Judge Eduardo Ramos, the U.S. District Judge for the Southern District of New York, has issued an Opinion & Order that a ban on stun guns is constitutional. A New York State law prohibits the private possession of stun guns and tasers; a New York City law prohibits the possession and selling of stun guns. Judge Ramos has ruled these laws do not infringe on rights protected by the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution.

I don’t really think this is all that difficult. Recall that I mentioned a few months ago I managed to put a 7mm PRC round on IPSC steel at 1000 yards, and was shooting with a friend who did the same thing four-rounds-for-four at 1000 yards with the 5.56mm? This isn’t magic.
And then, you can always use the same lowers and replace the M4 uppers with 6mm ARC uppers. That would make the job of engaging at 1000 yards even easier and more effective.
Longer term, if the US is going to have a professional military, it might make sense to (a) raise entrance ASVAB scores, (b) make enlistments 5 years instead of 4, (c) revamp the Scout Sniper program to ensure many more personnel could go through it, (d) add more schools for the infantryman such as high altitude shooting, cold weather combat and survival skills, etc., and in general make the American man a more effective, intelligent, well-training fighting machine.
To do that would require that they continue to dump DEI programs, limit combat to males and eject females from the infantryman MOS, and manage their money much more effectively.
But a change to 6mm ARC would be simple, cheap, and relatively painless. Or just teach infantrymen to shoot at 1000 yards with the use of Kestrels or some ballistic application.
Gov. Greg Abbott has issued a statewide disaster declaration over the continued northward expansion of the New World screwworm, which has been labeled by state officials as a threat to Texas’ wildlife and livestock industries.
“Although the New World screwworm fly is not yet present in Texas or the U.S., its northward spread from Mexico toward the U.S. southern border poses a serious threat to Texas’ livestock industry and wildlife,” said Abbott. “State law authorizes me to act to prevent a threat of infestation that could cause severe damage to Texas property, and I will not wait for such harm to reach our livestock and wildlife.”
Originating in South America, the New World screwworm is a parasite that eats the tissue of warm-blooded mammals. Although there have not yet been any confirmed cases of the parasite in the U.S., multiple cases have been confirmed near Texas’ border with Mexico.
I’ve told you the answer to the screwworm threat (“All we needed to do was keep a flow of those planes. But the cartels were extorting money for every flight of flies that came out of Panama. They were extorting $35,000 a plane,” he said. “So, for all practical purposes, this is really kind of a political closing to make a point that they have got to get their act together”).
So you kill the cartel boss who’s extorting money for the USDA flights. Then when you try another flight and some cartel big wig tries to extort money from you, you send folks to kill him too. And so on. Until you reach the end of cartel bosses who want to perish because of fly drops.
There is no real problem that can’t be solved in this manner. The other option is to let our cattle herds be eaten alive and forswear ever eating beef again.
Which will it be?
Use this as an opportunity to force cartels to self-identity, and then kill them. This approach solves two problems at one time.
While carrying a firearm is one option, bear spray is widely considered the most effective and humane way to deter an aggressive bear. But using bear spray incorrectly – or failing to carry it at all – can put you in a life-threatening situation
[ … ]
Bear spray is essentially a highly concentrated pepper spray designed to stop a bear in its tracks by overwhelming its senses. When deployed, it creates a cloud of intense capsaicinoids (the chemical in chili peppers that causes burning), which temporarily incapacitates the bear’s eyes, nose, and throat.
Unlike firearms, which require a direct and accurate shot to stop a bear, bear spray creates a barrier between you and the animal—which is why it’s recommended by wildlife experts and national park rangers as the first line of defense against bear attacks.
It may very well be that if you can’t deploy OC spray quickly enough, you can’t do it with a gun either. But carrying the gun at the ready it seems to me that a large bore firearm is still the best solution to predator animals.
I didn’t even know that Rare Breed had taken Hoffman Tactical to court. It’s no surprise that the ATF joined them. Also, you know that should Hoffman lose, the ATF will want to know who purchased Hoffman Super Safeties.
It seems to me, based on limited knowledge of this issue (the differences between the operation are significant), the equivalent position to what Rare Breed would be if your machine uses blades to make something turn to convert wind to work, you infringe on the windmill patent regardless of how the machine does the conversion. I’m not a parent attorney but I am engineer, and I just don’t think patent law works like that.
My understanding is that this has been ironed out, or may be, but remember boys and girls, Pam Bondi is a gun controller and always has been, and pro-2A to the president means getting a permit from the government.
This is an interesting, fairly short and well-done test. I was frankly a bit surprised that the 7mm PRC, which I shoot, has more recoil than the 30-06 (and more than every cartridge tested except 300 Win Mag and 300 PRC). But my rifle has a muzzle brake on it and makes it quite a pleasure to shoot.
Okay, you can be sorry. I don’t care at all. Your sorrow also has no impact on my God-given rights. Also, you have no idea what a man needs to be able to do to defend his family, herd and hearth. By the way, three hundred yards is nothing. Every man should be able to shoot three hundred yards.
