ARs Becoming Popular With Hunters
From The Truth About Guns:
Hunting with AR-style rifles, also known by some as Modern Sporting Rifles (MSRs) and others simply as ARs, has seen a remarkable increase in use in the field by sportsman over the past decade. This is according to recent research from the Outdoor Stewards of Conservation Foundation (OSCF). A survey conducted by Responsive Management for OSCF found 41 percent of hunters now use AR-style rifles for hunting, up from 25 percent in 2014.
Hunters Now Blamed For “Gun Violence”
From The Truth About Guns:
In what may be the most poorly conceived and horribly researched study ever published by The Journal of the American Medical Association during its entire 141-year history, a trio of anti-gun researchers now claims deer hunting is associated with a substantial increase in firearm violence.
Beware Of An Anti-Gunner Wolf In Sheep’s Clothing
From The Federalist:
As to Walz advocating for states to stop recognizing concealed handgun permits from other states (reciprocity), with more than 22 million concealed handgun permit holders nationwide, there are decades of data on the behavior of permit holders. Some states have particularly detailed data. In Florida and Texas, permit holders are convicted of firearms-related violations at one-twelfth the rate at which police officers are. And police are convicted at just one-twentieth of the rate for the general population. There is no evidence that any permit holder from another state has committed a gun crime in Minnesota.
Gun Owners Need To Register To Vote
From Ammoland:
The Arbalest Quarrel looked into the failure of millions of gun owners to register to vote. We learned that Ten Million American gun owners have not registered to vote in the 2024 U.S. Presidential election. This is no small number and can have a decisive impact on the outcome of Federal Elections.
Make Sure Your Gun Owning Friends Are Registered To Vote
This is surprising, shocking, and altogether unacceptable. Voting is a Sacred Right and a tremendously important responsibility. The Arbalest Quarrel looked into the failure of millions of gun owners to register to vote. We learned that Ten Million American gun owners have not registered to vote in the 2024 U.S. Presidential election. This is no small number and can have a decisive impact on the outcome of Federal Elections.
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.
Another Attack On Shooting On Public Land
From The Truth About Guns:
President Joe Biden is determined to decimate the notion that responsible gun owners should be able to responsibly teach the next generation of outdoorsmen and women recreational target shooting. His latest scheme is to shutter 98.9 percent of the Sonoran Desert National Monument to recreational target shooting.
More Americans Need Start To Hunting
From The Federalist:
Hunting is an undervalued way to develop the manly character our Founding Fathers thought to be essential to our republic’s survival. The experience of braving less-than-ideal weather, sitting patiently in the woods, and calming your nerves as you set your sights on a trophy animal certainly builds character. Hunting also forces you to come face to face with the uncomfortable reality that your food comes from an animal’s death. In an economy where meat comes nicely packaged in plastic at the grocery store, there is a real lack of men who have both the practical know-how and the intestinal fortitude to hunt, butcher, and process meat.
The American Hunt
From The Old Glory Club:
Though the sport has declined in participation over the last fifty years, America still has more hunters than anywhere else on Earth. An average of 700,000 hunters take part in the harvest every year in Wisconsin alone, which is more than any standing army on earth. Travel to any rural county in America, and you’ll find Opening Day is celebrated with as much reverence as Thanksgiving. Some counties will close businesses and even schools. They know no work is getting done — there’s freezers that need filling.
Biden Does 180, Signs Bill Funding Hunting and Shooting Sports
From Fox News:
President Biden signed bipartisan legislation Friday that reverses his own administration’s decision to defund school shooting sports courses nationwide.
The president signed the Protecting Hunting Heritage and Education Act, which restores federal funding for elementary and secondary school hunting and archery programs after the Department of Education began withholding such funding earlier this year. According to the White House, the legislation “clarifies that Federal funds may be used to provide certain weapons or training in the use of weapons within educational instruction or enrichment activities.”
Survey Of Americans On Fishing, Hunting and Shooting
From Outdoor Life
The survey is a comprehensive study on American’s attitudes about outdoor activity over a 30 year period. It is a 100 page PDF with lots of interesting charts and graphs.
Marketing Bans Designed To Prevent Next Generation of Gun Owners
From NSSF:
California and Illinois laws that have banned advertising lawmakers in those two states consider to be targeted at minors doesn’t have anything to do with increasing public safety. It doesn’t have anything to do with fighting the criminal misuse of firearms. The laws are intended to do one thing – convince the next generation of Americans that the Second Amendment doesn’t exist.
Biden Admin To Pull Funding From Schools With Hunting Programs
From Bearing Arms:
According to federal guidance circulated among hunting education groups and shared with Fox News Digital, the Department of Education determined that, under the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act (BSCA) passed last year, school hunting and archery classes are precluded from receiving federal funding. The interpretation could impact millions of American children enrolled in such programs.
Anti-Lead Petition Rejected By Fish and Wildlife
From Guns.com:
In a surprise to many, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service recently rebuffed demands from a series of environmentalist groups to phase out the use of traditional ammunition and fishing tackle on public land.
The FWS, part of the Department of Interior, reports to Debra Haaland, a former Democrat lawmaker from New Mexico who was backed for her current position by well-known anti-hunting groups such as WildEarth Guardians and the HSUS. In 2022, the agency was presented with a 63-page petition from the Center for Biological Diversity – an activist organization that pro-gun groups have characterized as one that “fights against regulated sport hunting at nearly every opportunity” – to ban lead ammo and fishing gear on the more than 500 million acres of federal lands by 2024.
