Guns, Guns, Gear, and Guns

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.

I purchased one of the French Gras Cavalry Carbines 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 Governor of New Mexico has decided to declare gun violence an epidemic, which grants her emergency powers to deal with a health emergency and she is using those powers to declare an end to carrying firearms in public in Albuquerque. The Governor is banning conceal carry and open carry regardless if people have a license for 30 days with the ability to renew and extend the timeline. This is a complete government overreach but a gun grabbing politician who is using executive action to suspend the 2nd Amendment instead of using the legislature to pass gun control like a normal crazy leftist. This is being challenged by the courts rightly, but her press conference announcement was full of stupid statements and proves how foolish and pointless her executive order is.

A Democratic Chicago Alderwoman suggested that gangs only shoot people after 9pm to help reduce the risk of people who do not engage in "high risk activities." Join our Discord! https://discord.gg/YYpucccM47 Please consider supporting me on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/user?u=84865016

I recorded footage at a local show - the Missouri Valley Arms Collectors Show and was forced to delete my footage as it violated show rules, even though I had seen lots of people taking photos while I was there. I understand the meaning behind the rule, but I think it is silly to believe that no one is taking photos or videos at the show. Do you expect privacy at a gun show?

I ordered a Mannlicher 1888/90 antique rifle from Royal Tiger Imports in their B grade condition. I unbox it and show the condition of this example. There are various potential issues with their B Grades listed on the RTI website for their military surplus rifles, but how does reality match up with their description? This is chambered in 8x50R and is legally an antique in US gun law, so it was easy to procure. This certainly does leave me a little hesitant to purchase other B Grades milsurps from the company, but I may give it another go anyways.

The ATF released a new rule based on the previously passed Bipartisan Safer Communities Act which redefined what it meant to be "engaged in the business" of firearms sales and an executive order by Joe Biden trying to limit personal sales as much as possible. On the surface, it may seem reasonable, but once you get into the details of the rule, including listing all the ways you can try to sell your personal firearms which will make the government "presume" you are engaging in the business, you will see how nefarious this is. It is an attempt to get as close to universal background checks as possible by making people too scared to sell their personal collection face to face by making just about any task associated with selling part of "engaging in the business."

Vice President Kamala Harris spoke at Gun Sense University 2023, a propaganda rally where they gun control components can self-congratulate themselves on their unconstitutional overreaches while encroaching on the Second Amendment while also demanding more gun control It's the same old talking points again and again, from the so-called immunity of gun manufacturers, to assault weapons bans, to NOT letting teachers defend themselves, but even with all this Harris makes a fool of herself.

Illinois Governor Pritzker signed the Firearm Industry Responsibility Act, which opens up firearms industry members to lawsuits regarding advertising to minors, failing to stop straw purchases, and advertising to militias or paramilitary groups.

Royal Tiger Imports has their M95 rifles on sale in the original 8x50R chambering in the B Grade conditioning. Their B grades are a good deal, but they could potentially have cracked stocks, missing pieces, and other issues. Purchasing military surplus like this sight unseen is always kind of a gamble, as you do not know exactly what you will get. How did I do today? Take a look and see!

All things considered, I may have purchased too many Mauser actions. At a local auction, there were several lots with Mauser barrelled actions available, and I won two by a quasi-accident. Now, what does one do with all these mausers? Join our Discord! https://discord.gg/YYpucccM47 Please consider supporting me on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/user?u=84865016

The 5th Circuit Court heard arguments in Mock v Garland about the pistol brace law, sorry, rule that the ATF put into place. They severely criticized and ridiculed the ATF given the massive changes from the proposed rule to the final rule and the inability to provide information on what would be a legal brace under this gun grabbing nonsense.

The Supreme Court granted a stay in the case concerning ATF's recent frame and receiver rule which changed the definitions of frames and receivers (which was previously defined by Congress) without any input from the Legislature. The stay is only temporary, as further arguments in the case will be coming.

Footage has emerged of an "uncommanded discharge" out of a police officer's Sig P320 pistol from earlier this year. There have been lots of reports from law enforcement that have had issues with Sig P320s where they claim the firearms have gone off on their own without improper handling. Instead of Negligent Discharge or Accidental Discharge, these have come to be known as Uncommanded Discharges. This footage shows his hand was not on the firearm, but it is still jostled in the holster.

One piece of that circulates in the gun community is that the toy company Mattel made parts for M-16s and M-14s for the US military. Is this actually true? I take a look at this potential myth or piece of fuddlore and my theory on what is behind this lore.

Hawaii, like many states, was forced to change their issuance of conceal carry permits based on the Supreme Court's Bruen ruling, which changed the law from a "may issue" to a "shall issue." In response, states like Hawaii have created laws that make it so difficult to conceal carry anywhere, it is essentially illegal. Just about all property is banned as a "sensitive place." I go through all of them as well as a few other provisions in the new law.

The Delaware Department of Justice under AG Kathy Jennings is investigating a Cabela's under a public nuisance law after over half a million rounds of ammunition were stolen. The thief in this crime is not serving any jail time, so the victim is getting harsher treatment than the criminal. Delaware is one of the states that has laws that give additional liabilities to gun companies compared to other industries.

I demonstrate the best method to remove rust from a firearm without leaving any lasting damage. This method is the best if you are wanting to clean up your firearm but aren't necessarily looking to completely refinish it. I've tried every trick I've seen, copper penny, steel wool, a wire wheel, but I think brass brushes are the best, as you can see in the video.

Illinois Governor Pritzker trampled over the memorial for victims of the July 4th Highland Park shooting just over a year ago to brag about the political capital it gave him to pass an assault weapon ban, a high capacity magazine ban, and a ban on switches. He even goes so far to compare AR-15s to missile launchers, in a misguided attempt to make a point about weapons in common use, completely not understanding that this language came directly from the Supreme Court.

Illinois Governor Pritzker recently spoke at a July 4th event meant to honor the dead from the Highland Park shooting, but instead used it to push his gun control agenda and brag about how they banned semi-automatic assault rifles, high capacity magazines, and switches in the state. He even compared semi-automatic rifles with AR-15s in a misguided attempt to make a point.

I purchased a Palmetto State Armory Dagger compact frame and a slide with an RMR cut to go with it. I've spent some time handling and examining the firearm and give my first impressions of the Glock 19 clone.

The ATF's rule that turned 80% receivers into firearms in the eyes of the law was vacated by a Federal Judge. The rule that required treating these incomplete firearms as firearms was deemed to exceed the ATF's statutory authority, as the Judge ruled that Congress could have included such regulations if that was what they intended to do.

The Deputy who was present at the Parkland School shooting was acquitted of neglecting children as the prosecution did not show he was a caregiver to the students. The Deputy, known as the Coward of Broward, like all police, is not obligated to actually help or protect those in need.
