Guns, Guns, Gear, and Guns

Just a quick guide showing how you disassemble and reassemble the bolt on a Vetterli 1870/87/15. The basics would remain the same for other Vetterli rifles, but this one is specifically for the upgraded rifle.

Have yourself a merry 2A Christmas - celebrating the Second Amendment, gun rights, and the holiday spirit in this special time of year where we come together to celebrate what's most important.

Royal Tiger Imports put their B grade M95 carbines on sale, so I decided to purchase one and unbox it to see if I agree or disagree with the B grade that was assigned to it. These rifles that are coming in from Ethiopia are always a gamble, as you never know exactly what you will be getting. However, it is also one of the best selections of military surplus on the market.

There was a Senate Judicial Hearing on gun violence as a healthcare epidemic. This is obviously concerning since a healthcare emergency can easily be used to grant extreme power to the government, as has been seen in New Mexico with Governor Grisham. It is an easy way to enact gun control and infringe on the Second Amendment when there is not Congressional support. The hearing had one viral moment between a witness and a Senator from Louisiana when she deflected on questions about Chicago and referred back go gun violence in other states. There are also plenty of other interesting new arguments such as lead levels and the cost of stitching up gunshot wounds as well as the usual ones that they always bring up.

Governor DeSantis of Florida and Governor Gavin Newsom of California had a debate and the topic of guns, gun control, and crime came up. I think I know who won this section of the debate since one of them is lying and is also from a state which has strict gun control and Newsom has introduced a Constitutional Amendment to essentially erase the 2nd Amendment.

A CNN gun control opinion piece laments that America values gun over lives and uses a lot of the same tired gun control talking points that gun grabbers use to make an argument that makes no sense. I made this video a bit looser than other ones, with less editing and more stream of consciousness, so I ramble on a bit here and there about the Rahimi case, historical gun rights, gun laws, the GCA, Reagan, and others. Let me know if you like this sort of thing and I can do more like it.

AK-47 pattern magazines are iconic and distinctive, appearing throughout pop culture and modern history. These are not designed to look cool, however, it is a very practical design influenced by the cartridge it contains and the reliability the firearm required.

New York Councilwoman Inna Vernikov was charged for conceal carrying a firearm at a protest. The current New York gun control laws prohibit carrying at protests, rallies, or other public gatherings. The charges were eventually dropped because she was not arrested at the time and was able to voluntarily turn in an inoperable firearm later on. Is this because she is a politician, even though she is a Republican or is this because New York does not want to actually prosecute with this law, knowing it will eventually be overturned?

A quick review going over the benefits and issues of the 18 gun cabinet that is sold by Stack-On and also under the name Sentinel. It can be spacious and hold more than 18 rifles, but based on how you configure it, the security cabinet can also be limited and hold a lot less than 18. These gun cabinets are not as secure as gun safes, but they provide a degree of security and way to lock up your firearms.

I take a barrelled action made by FN in Belgium for IDF forces and Israel and restore it back to proper working condition. I encounter some issues along the say, such as the difference between parts for German Mausers from world war 2 and FN made Mausers, but eventually it all comes together.

Illinois passed a new gun control law targeting assault weapons, requiring registration of any parts that they say can be used on an assault weapon. At an open forum, this led the Illinois State Police to assert that a man needs to register his collectable lightsaber due to the parts it contains.

Several vendors have been importing ak-47, ak-74 and 556 ak magazines from Pakistan. They are being dubbed "khyber pass" per the famed gunsmithing done in the region, but the prices of these magazines imitating slabside, waffle, bakelite, and drums are the price as purchasing the real ones. Is this worth it?

ATF Director Dettlebach spoke at the Harvard Institute of Politics using the same tired gun control talking points and lies that we have heard over and over on repeat. Calls for assault weapon bans, universal background checks, safe storage laws, and other similar measures.

Gretchen Carlson, a so-called "journalist" tries to make a point about the AR-15 in American culture, but MATH IS HARD and she does not understand that she proves the opposite of her point.

The robot and AI uprising is upon us, and I have a few tips to help keep you alive, at least for a little while, before succumbing to the new dominant rules of the planet.

I attended a recent gun auction that was in-person only and local and I was able to pick up a few items. I discuss those briefly and also give some more advice and tips to consider when trying to win firearms, ammunition, or other accessories at auctions like this.

I purchased a B Grade rated Vetterli 1870/87/15 rifle from Royal Tiger Imports. This is one of several B grade rifles I have purchased from RTI. In the video, I unbox and show off this example of one from RTI. RTI does have some controversy with their grading, where some people have received firearms in rather poor condition, but they have the best selection of military surplus on the market right now, so many people are willing to take the risk.

New Mexico Governor Grisham declared an emergency public health order in her state one month ago, which included an unconstitutional ban on the 2nd Amendment in Albuquerque. Parts of this wildly illegal gun grabbing edict was invalidated at the court level immediately, but she is still moving forward with most of the order which is still suppressing rights.

Royal Tiger Imports recently put their Swiss rifles and carbines on sale. I was able to pick one up before they sold out. These were listed as "very good" condition and there was one step above called "excellent." How does it compare to their description? RTI is the biggest source of military surplus rifles and firearms right now, even though they do have a lot of bad reviews due to condition of some of the firearms and grades they send out.

I purchased one of the French Gras Infantry Rifles from Royal Tiger Imports - one of their B Grade rifles that they have for sale at a good price. This is just an example of one rifle, as it is completely random and you can easily get one in better or worse condition. Regardless of your feelings on RTI, they currently have one of the best collections of current military surplus on the milsurp market. The French Gras rifle I purchased was in good shape, but was missing a piece, which I think gave it the B grade.

Representative Jamaal Bowman is under fire for pulling the fire alarm in what appears to be an attempt to delay a vote, but he is obviously an idiot, so maybe it's true and he just never learned how doors or alarms work while he was trying to disarm law-abiding Americans.

Governor Gavin Newsom signed around twenty gun control laws this week including a comprehensive conceal carry law which makes it impossible to carry it almost anywhere, an 11% tax on firearms and ammunition manufacturers, microstamping requirements starting in 2028 and more!

Governor Gavin Newsom of California signed a slew of gun control laws this week, cracking down on Second Amendment rights with the power of a Legislature filled with gun grabbing Democrats. The laws include a post-Bruen concealed carry law which is highly restrictive with sensitive places, a new microstamping requirement, an 11% tax on the firearms industry which will make it more expensive for law-abiding gun owners to defend themselves among others. To celebrate these new infringements on our rights, they held a self-congratulatory press conference where they parroted dumb gun control talking points from organizations such as Moms Demand Action and the Brady Campaign which are mostly lies.

President Biden announced the creation of the Office of Gun Violence Prevention, another tentacle of the ever-growing leviathan that is the federal bureaucracy. It has several duties, but the real purpose is to fill the administration with more gun control advocates to write creative executive orders to trample firearms rights and curb the second amendment.

The Governor of New Mexico's emergency health public order that banned the open or conceal carry of firearms within Albuquerque was suspended by the Court, which led to a shiny, new, amended order that only violates the Constitution a little, by banning it in public parks and playgrounds. The Governor continues to demonstrate a complete lack of understanding in regards to the Constitution and why people are mad at her fascist order at all.
