FN Announces Safety Recall for the FN 502 Tactical

(McLean, VA ) FN America, LLC announces a safety recall for the FN 502 Tactical .22LR pistol, which was previously the subject of FN’s January 27, 2022 safety bulletin. The original concern involved a missing manual safety lock lever in a small number of FN 502 Tactical pistols that would allow the discharge of the pistol when the trigger is pulled with the manual safety in the SAFE position. While investigating this issue with Umarex, the supplier of the FN 502 Tactical, we encountered a separate concern with proper installation of the manual safety lock lever. Consequently, if forced by multiple pulls of the trigger in succession, or if the pistol is jarred, an unintended firing may happen when the manual safety is in the SAFE position. Read more

CCRKBA: Russian Outrages in Ukraine Prove Need for Armed Populace

BELLEVUE, WA. – Newly-revealed Russian outrages including the attacks on a maternity hospital and innocent women and children further reinforces the necessity for all European nations to have an armed and trained populace, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms said today.

“Several news agencies are reporting these barbaric attacks,” said CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb, “which should erase any doubt about the intent of the Russian invaders, and the need for every able bodied citizen to have the tools to fight back. This is not a game of hypotheticals. Innocent women and children are being targeted.

“Other European nations should take a lesson from what is now unfolding in Ukraine,” he continued. “In this country, our founders wisely included the constitutional protection of the fundamental right to keep and bear arms, but nations in Europe have no such provisions. Still, we believe it is incumbent upon all nations to adopt a proactive stance, considering what we’ve seen unfolding over the past three weeks.

“An armed and trained population can defend their homes and their homeland,” Gottlieb observed. “Right now, other countries should be promoting private gun ownership rather than preventing their citizens from having firearms and being well-trained in their use.

“We’ve read and heard criticisms from the gun prohibition crowd about stressing the importance of our Second Amendment to the security of a free state,” he added, “but those critics are speaking from the comfort of a currently safe nation. While they seem content to discuss the Ukraine tragedy from an academic perspective, the people actually living through that horror have no such luxury, nor do citizens of adjacent nations who are justifiably concerned about their own safety with each passing day of conflict.
