The Supreme Court on Thursday struck down a New York gun law that puts restrictions on carrying a concealed gun outside the home.

The New York law required concealed carry permit applicants to show proper cause for the permit. Applicants were forced to show a particular reason why they had to defend themselves, rather than just general self defense.

I’m not going to lie, it’s tedious constantly pointing out the same dishonest contentions of the anti-gun left. The nation would probably take Joe Biden’s gun demagoguery more seriously if the president and his staff occasionally cooked up some new material. Because last night’s plea for more gun control was a rehashing of the same archaic policy ideas, bad analogies, and lies that Democrats tend to drop after every shooting.

Republicans on Capitol Hill are pressing federal gun regulators over an apparent sudden and arbitrary change to the practice of self-manufacturing suppressors.

Historically, the ATF has required Americans trying to comply with NFA regulations to file a Form 1, pay the mandatory $200 tax – and, once all the red tape was processed over several months – they would be allowed to make the suppressor for their personal use. That is, until this month anyway.

Introducing the new P322. With an unprecedented 20+1 round capacity the new P322 gives you 21 reasons to love 22.

The new P322 was completely designed and built by SIG SAUER in New Hampshire and is loaded with premium features, including an optic ready removable rear sight plate so you can easily add a ROMEOZero Elite red dot optic without the use of adapter plates. The P322 also comes with a threaded barrel adapter making it suppressor ready right out of the box, and with it’s ambidextrous controls, interchangeable flat and curved triggers and adjustable fiber optic front and rear sights the new P322 is the highest capacity, most advanced 22 pistol in its class.

22Plinkster reviews the Sig Sauer P322:

According to Thomas Net, a former ammunition plant used by Uncle Sam will be retooled and updated so that it can serve as the new primer plant for Expansion Ammunition. Reportedly, the company is laying out $100 million to transform the old Lone Star Army Ammunition Plant in Hooks, Texas into a state-of-the-art facility.

The plant will focus on manufacturing the “primers” necessary for today’s modern cartridges. The primer is the part that ignites the powder inside of the cartridge, that in turn propels the bullet down the barrel and towards the target. It’s an essential part of every centerfire cartridge, and this new plant plans to churn them out by the millions. The company reportedly chose the former ammo plant not only because it was built with ammo manufacturing in mind, but because it was built to be able to withstand small explosions in the case of an accident.

Regular readers know I’m a huge fan of “consistency.” Reacting to a violent attack has enough problems without us creating more. For example, the “gun of the day” shooter who has a different type of handgun for each day of the week lacks consistency. Another inconsistency with concealed carry is too many variations on where and how the pistol is hidden. Then, there’s the shooter who takes one setup to the range for training or practice, and has a completely different getup for carry. To simplify our problem – stopping an attack – consistency is key, both on and off the range.

Happy Independence day, my fellow Texans!

Several large type-7 Federal Firearms Licensed manufacturers, The National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF), and Polymer80 met with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) today.

Although the detailed discussions of the meeting are unknown at this time, AmmoLand News received leaked emails from our sources that show that the ATF is seeking a new definition of a firearm. Joe Biden has targeted so-called “ghost guns” and semi-automatic rifles in recent days. Sources say he is pushing to accelerate those changes by using the ATF as a stop-gap for stalled federal legislation.

California will soon require every person who wishes to purchase a “firearm precursor part” to first undergo a background check process nearly identical to that which California currently uses for ammunition sales. The only problem is no one knows for certain what exactly is a “firearm precursor part.”
