...Executive Actions On Gun Control

...Barrel Length and Accuracy
When trying to build an accurate firearm there are several things that play. Two of the most important characteristics of an accurate build is the barrel length and the twist rate. The barrel is the heart and soul of the firearm, without a good barrel it is nearly impossible to build an accurate firearm. The barrel length directly correlates with the speed of the bullet once it leaves the chamber, for example; a 55 gr. FMJ bullet will have a greater velocity coming out of a 20 in. barrel than out of a 16 in. barrel. One of the biggest factors of accuracy is the twist rate. The twist rate is a ratio of how many complete revolutions the riffling makes in a certain length. For example a 1:7 twist spins the bullet faster than a 1:9 twist. Choosing a twist rate depends on the operator’s needs and or preferences. The 1:9 twist is perfect for “plinking” and shooting lighter weight bullets while the 1:7 twist is meant for heavier bullets such as 62-77 grains. For the best accuracy and reliability of your firearm please follow the guide below.
...Somebody’s Gotta Do It: Demolition Ranch
Combining Mike Rowe and the Demolition Ranch, two things I’ve enjoyed independently for years. They came together beautifully.
Forget Oregon’s Gunman. Remember the Hero Who Charged Straight at Him
The tone of this article is right on target. The only change I would make would be to change ‘gunman’ to ‘murderer’.
No amount of murder seems likely to result in gun control any time soon. So let’s do what we can to stop the lunacy—by reserving the limelight for the vet who rushed Thursday’s shooter.
Forget the 26-year-old zero who murdered 10 innocents at Umpqua Community College on Thursday morning.
The one to remember is 30-year-old Chris Mintz, the student and Army vet who was shot at least five times while charging straight at the gunman in an effort to save others.
Mintz did so on the sixth birthday of his son, Tyrik.
“It’s my son’s birthday, it’s my son’s birthday,” he was heard saying as he lay wounded.
When word of Mintz’s heroism reached his kin in his native North Carolina, his cousin Derek Bourgeois was hardly surprised.
“It sounds like something he would do,” Bourgeois said.
