Connecticut Authorities Not in Position to Enforce New Registration Laws

Tue, 04/15/2014 - 11:28
Over three months after Connecticut’s deadline for its residents to register their firearms that the state has deemed “assault weapons,” it seems that authorities are no closer to actually being able to enforce these new laws. According to My Record Journal, State police are still wading through the 50,000 assault weapon and high-capacity magazine applications […]

Tue, 04/15/2014 - 02:23
The video you see above is one of the higher quality videos I’ve seen from the showdown under the interstate underpass between federal agents and Bundy cowboys/protestors.

TROY Pump Action AR-15 – Another Gun Control State Compliant AR-15

Mon, 04/14/2014 - 17:08
I’ve long wondered when someone would come up with a pump action AR-15. The ergonomics and the way the bolt works with the magazine was all there.

Mon, 04/14/2014 - 11:32
Will New York owners of firearms that the state has deemed “assault weapons” be emboldened by the civil disobedience of Connecticut residents, or perhaps the recent situation at the Bundy Ranch in Nevada and refuse to register their firearms by tomorrow’s deadline?
