Lever Action Cartridges Still In Use Today
From American Hunter:
Hunting with a lever-action rifle is a unique experience; in this day of high-magnification optics and high ballistic coefficient bullets, the lever rifles seem to be a throwback to a bygone era. However, looking at a good number of hunting scenarios—especially our deer-hunting here in the Eastern U.S., the thick forests of the Pacific Northwest and the many hunts over feeders throughout the Southern U.S.—the lever guns and their associated cartridges pose no real handicap. Quite obviously, a round-nosed bullet from one of the slower, rimmed cartridges isn’t the best choice for taking a buck across a bean field, but for shots inside of 150 yards, where the majority of my shots in New York have been, these guns and their cartridges work quite well.

How Will Chevron Affect The ATF?
From Bearing Arms:
The Supreme Court’s decision to scrap the Chevron Doctrine doesn’t automatically mean that the ATF’s rules on unfinished frames and receivers, pistol stabilizing braces, and who is “engaged in the business” of dealing firearms will be thrown out by the federal judiciary, but it definitely makes it more difficult for the DOJ to defend the rules going forward.
No longer can the agency reliy on judges giving the agency the benefit of the doubt when it come to interpreting supposedly ambiguous language. Unless the ATF is strictly adhering to the underlying statute when crafting its rules (which has not been the case in recent years) the odds are good that the rule will fall.
California Now Requires Sales Code For Gun Stores
This new law is a workaround to the Fourth Amendment by requiring companies to “tattle” on their customers to the government.
From The Truth About Guns:
As reported earlier, a California law went into effect today that mandates credit card networks like Visa and Mastercard to assign special retail codes to gun stores, enabling banks to track their sales. Advocates believe this measure could help identify suspicious purchases and prevent mass shootings.
Democrat Tries To “Own Republicans” By Promoting Black Gun Ownership
From Bearing Arms:
Normally, gun control involves taking guns away from people, but one Texas lawmaker is endorsing a plan to push for a gun ban by giving AR-15s away. State Rep. Ron Reynolds told Houston news anchor Isiah Carey that “desperate times call for desperate measures”, which is why he’s all in favor of a plan to give Black men semi-automatic rifles; convinced that conservative Caucasians will be so freaked out that they’ll almost immediately fall in line behind a gun ban.
Supreme Court Overturns “Chevron”, Restraining Power Of Bureaucrats
From The Truth About Guns:
The Supreme Court’s decision is particularly noteworthy for gun owners, as it curtails the regulatory authority of the ATF. The ruling effectively limits the ATF’s ability to interpret and enforce regulations without explicit congressional authorization, even when pushed by a presidential administration hostile to the Second Amendment.
Czech Group Get Approval To Buy US Ammo Brands
From Guns.com:
The Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States has given the green light to the proposed acquisition of Vista Outdoor’s varied and iconic ammunition brands to the Czechoslovak Group.
In a release from Vista on Wednesday, the company announced it had received written notice from CFIUS that the federal regulator has concluded its review and investigation of the proposed transaction “and has determined that there are no unresolved national security concerns.” The clearance by CFIUS was the final governmental regulatory approval required for the deal to proceed. U.S. Federal Trade Commission had previously cleared the acquisition from an antitrust perspective.
When You Go Looking For Racists And Can’t Find Any
The Demand For Racists Doesn’t Equal The Supply
From The Federalist:
A new report said Pentagon programs to sniff out “white supremacists” in the U.S. military came up empty-handed and were even counterproductive to military readiness and morale.
“Just as private companies have abandoned the toxic advice of DEI consultants and programs, military leaders should end social engineering based on critical race theory and restore approaches that promote character and merit,” said Donald Critchlow, Director of the Center for American Institutions at ASU.
NY Comptroller Says ShotSpotter A Failure
From Ammoland:
ShotSpotter has failed to live up to its promises in another major US City, according to the Comptroller of New York City. The Comptroller’s Office recommended that the City not renew its contract with the David Chipman-linked company when it expires in December.
Army: Covid Vax Caused Heart Problems
From NBC Montana:
The U.S. Army and National Guard acknowledged a soldier’s “debilitating heart condition” is connected to the COVID-19 vaccine, according to a new report by former CBS reporter Catherine Herridge.
Army National Guard Specialist Karoline Stancik, 24, has reportedly racked up over $70,000 in medical debt after being hospitalized for heart complications. She suffered her first heart attack after receiving the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine.
Upcoming SCOTUS Gun Cases
From Bearing Arms:
For months now, the Court has held on to a half-dozen other cases that all deal with prohibited persons; from Range v. Garland (whether someone can be permanently prohibited from possessing a firearm after a non-violent misdemeanor conviction punishable by more than a year in prison) to U.S. v. Daniels (whether federal law prohibiting the possession of firearms by someone who “is an unlawful user of or addicted to any controlled substance” violates the Second Amendment). After the release of the Rahimi decision, the Court is almost certainly going to address these cases through what’s known as a GVR: grant cert, vacate the previous decision, and remand the case back to the lower courts for further review in light of Rahimi‘s holding.
SCOTUS Bump Stock Opinion Breakdown
From Open Source Defense:
On Friday the Supreme Court struck down the ATF’s bump stock ban. Let’s break down the justices’ opinions and the implications.
Clarence Thomas writes for a 6-3 majority, and the overriding theme of his opinion is that this is not a hard case. Under the NFA, a machine gun is “any weapon which shoots, is designed to shoot, or can be readily restored to shoot, automatically more than one shot, without manual reloading, by a single function of the trigger”. Bump stocks are simply not that. That’s obvious if and only if you know how a bump stock works. Thomas explains that by explaining how an AR-15’s fire control group works.
