Senator Lee Leads Charge To Reverse Ammo Export Restrictions

From The Truth About Guns:

A group of 88 members of the U.S. House of Representatives and U.S. Senate are pushing to have the Biden Administration rule restricting firearm exports by law-abiding American manufacturers reversed, and they want it done now.

“As soon as is practically possible, we respectfully request that you rescind the Department of Commerce Bureau of Industry and Security’s (BIS) recent interim final rule (IFR) ‘Revision of Firearms License Requirements,” the letter stated. “This misguided and destructive IFR is costing the American firearms industry nearly $500 million annually while doing nothing to advance U.S. interests or regional stability. Despite numerous attempts to rein in these actions through letters, legislation, hearings, markups and oversight, the Biden BIS ignored Congress and used the IFR to advance the Biden administration’s anti-firearms agenda.”

New Savior Ear Protection Are A Great Bang For The Buck

From The Truth About Guns:

How is the cost kept down? One way is by eliminating excess tech. A lot of ear protection I’ve reviewed lately has Bluetooth, and while I like it well enough, I don’t use it often. Judging by the comments section, lots of you don’t either.

There’s no need to pay for a feature you don’t use; let the premium-priced headsets offer that. That’s the Bluetooth hardware, the on/off/connect button, and the volume controls—eliminated.

The battery cap pops off easy enough, sliding upwards like so many other brands.

A little bonus feature the Savior Equipment Apollo offers that most don’t? Patch panels. A little strip about 1″x2″ on each side of the headband allows you to attach your own patches via velcro hook loop pile, or use the included American flag and name badge patches.

Utah Passes Bill To Teach Kids Gun Safety

From Bearing Arms:

HB 104 is a common sense measure that would require all public school students to learn about the safe storage and handling of firearms on three separate occasions between kindergarten and the end of sixth grade. Rep. Rex Shipp, the primary sponsor of the legislation, says the instruction would be age-appropriate, with younger kids essentially being taught the advice given by the NRA’s Eddie Eagle.

Democrat Group Sues Nassau County For Creating A “Militia”

From The Truth About Guns:

The lawsuit names Blakeman, Nassau County, and Sheriff Anthony LaRocco as defendants, alleging the creation of an illegal “militia” through the implementation last year of an emergency program designating civilian volunteers who have been trained and vetted through background checks as “special deputies.” If this sounds like a reserve program commonly used by Police and Sheriff’s Departments, well, that’s because it is.

Marines To Hit Recruiting Goal This Year

From The Federalist:

The Marine Corps is the only branch of the military to consistently meet its recruiting goals in recent years. The Navy, Air Force, Army, and Coast Guard have struggled to bring in new recruits, a problem which military specialists have, in part, attributed to the Biden administration’s advancement of racist DEI ideology and disastrous foreign policy agenda.

NJ Hollow Point Ban Challenged

From Bearing Arms:

Gun Owners of America (GOA), Gun Owners Foundation (GOF), and the Coalition of New Jersey Firearm Owners, alongside plaintiff Heidi Bergmann-Schoch, have filed a lawsuit challenging New Jersey’s unconstitutional ban on possessing hollow point ammunition for self-defense outside the home. The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey, argues that the state’s restrictions violate the Second and Fourteenth Amendments by preventing law-abiding citizens from possessing and carrying the most effective forms of self-defense ammunition.

AG Bondi Worries Gun Rights Group

From Bearing Arms:

Gun Owners of America (GOA) is sounding the alarm following the Senate confirmation of Pam Bondi as Attorney General, vowing to hold her accountable in defending Americans’ Second Amendment rights. 

While Bondi has supported some pro-gun measures, her tenure as Florida Attorney General also raises serious red flags. She endorsed the controversial Parkland gun control laws, which included “red flag” confiscation orders, a ban on firearm ownership for 18-20-year-olds, and a bump stock ban. Bondi also defended Florida’s ban on open carry and defended the 18-20 year old gun ban in court, which infringes on the rights of law-abiding gun owners. This is in stark contrast to other Florida state Attorneys General like Ashley Moody, who recently declined to defend Florida’s unconstitutional open carry ban after GOA filed a lawsuit.

The Case For National Concealed Carry Reciprocity

From The Federalist:

Congress faces a crucial opportunity to reaffirm a cornerstone of our constitutional freedoms: the right to bear arms. National concealed-carry reciprocity legislation would ensure that state borders do not restrict or invalidate this fundamental right, guaranteed by the Second Amendment.

At its heart, this is about acknowledging that constitutional rights are universal, not dependent on geography. The Constitution does not stop at state lines.

A Helpful Guide For Bringing A Newbie Shooting

From Open Source Defense:

So if your spouse is uncomfortable having a gun in the house, they probably just haven’t been exposed to guns in any context other than a violent news story or someone getting killed in a movie. If 100% of the times you’d seen a gun involved someone getting murdered, you’d be worried too.

The solution is to familiarize them. But someone’s first gun experience is high variance. A great experience can convert them, and a bad experience can turn them off for life. So how do you make sure it’s great?

What Will You Need During Civil Unrest?

From Ammoland:

To figure out what gear we need to survive a civil unrest scenario, we need to identify what that scenario is. Depending on where you live and commute, the threats for those areas will dictate the gear. This is going to be different from person to person.

The following is the gear I’m using for my area of operations. For my area, Northeast Ohio, we’ve had “street takeovers” that have turned violent in Cleveland and surrounding areas. With that, my mindset is, what do I need to safely escape and evade that area if I get caught up in one of these? If I have my wife and daughters with me, it becomes even more critical that I get them to safety.

Hearing Protection Act Re-introduced

From Guns.com:

Legislation to remove suppressors and silencers from National Firearms Act regulation and treat them as regular firearms has been filed in the new Congress.

The Hearing Protection Act would reclassify suppressors, currently NFA-controlled Title II firearms, as Title I, which would allow their transfer through regular federal firearms license holders to anyone not prohibited from possessing them after the buyer passes an FBI instant background check.

Will Trump Put An End To The ATF?

From Ammoland:

Years ago, there were ATF agents who supported guns and our gun rights – older agents who didn’t let their administrators push them into breaking the law. But after four years of Biden and his chosen joke of an ATF director, these agents are mostly gone. They were replaced by younger antigun bureaucrats.
