FPC Responds to Ninth Circuit Decision Upholding California’s Magazine Ban

SAN FRANCISCO, CA — Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) has issued the following statement in response to today’s misguided Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals decision in Duncan v. Bonta, which held that California’s law banning so-called “large capacity magazines” (those that can hold more than 10 rounds of ammunition) is permissible under the U.S. Constitution’s Second Amendment, Takings Clause, and Due Process Clause:

Today’s misguided decision makes it crystal clear that the Ninth Circuit will not respect the Constitution until the Supreme Court requires it to. Rather than following the binding Supreme Court’s D.C. v. Heller and McDonald v. Chicago opinions, the Court of Appeals again used legal gamesmanship to avoid the constitutionally required result just as it has for over a decade. Read more

Background Checks Top 687,000 During Black Friday ‘Week’

NEWTOWN, Conn. — The National Shooting Sports Foundation® (NSSF®), the firearm industry trade association, revealed that the FBI’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) processed 687,788 background checks during the week leading up to and including Black Friday. FBI’s NICS recorded 187,585 on Black Friday alone, ranking it among the Top 10 Highest Days for NICS checks and a .50 percent increase from Black Friday 2020 (186,645). The NICS checks are unadjusted, representing raw data from the FBI and are inclusive of all background checks related to firearms.

NSSF has worked with firearm retailers to spread out special sales offers to customers throughout the week leading up to Black Friday so as not to overwhelm FBI NICS on Black Friday which can result in longer than normal wait times.

“This figure of over 687,000 background checks is truly remarkable,” said Joe Bartozzi, NSSF President and CEO. “This year has already been shaping up to be the second strongest year for firearm sales on record, second only to 2020’s record-breaking number of 21 million background checks for a firearm sale. We anticipate, based on annual data, that firearm sales will rise during the final month of the year coinciding with hunting seasons and holiday sales. This figure, though, underscores the appetite for lawful firearm ownership in America and the resilience of the firearm and ammunition industry to meet that demand.”

Below are the breakout tables for each day of unadjusted FBI NICS background checks and The Top 10 Highest Days of FBI Background Checks. Read more

Springfield Armory Releases Ronin EMP

GENESEO, ILL. (11/29/21) – Springfield Armory® is proud to announce the newest addition to its award-winning family of 1911’s — the Ronin® EMP®. Combining the popular features of the Ronin series of pistols with the CCW-ready Enhanced Micro Pistol (EMP) platform, the result is a potent and packable EDC partner that offers the smallest 1911 in the world.

The patented EMP stands apart in the 1911 market, having been specifically engineered around the 9mm cartridge and its overall shorter length than rounds such as the .45 ACP and 10mm. Rather than simply shortening the barrel and slide like most compact 1911 pistols, the EMP also shortens the frame of the pistol fore to aft. As a result, the pistol is not only shorter and more compact, but also has a reduced grip radius for both enhanced comfort and concealability.

Now, the EMP gets the Ronin family treatment. The Ronin EMP features an attractive two-tone finish, made up of a carbon steel slide with a hot salt blue finish and satin silver Cerakote® finish on the lightweight aluminum frame. Additional Ronin features include Crossed Cannon™ wood grips, a fiber optic front sight paired to a Tactical Rack rear sight, extended beavertail grip safety with memory bump, and much more.

Weatherby Introduces New Mark V Hunter Bolt Action

Sheridan, WY – Weatherby, Inc.® introduces the new Mark V® Hunter to its premium bolt-action line. Bringing a wealth of chamberings to the legendary Weatherby Mark V platform, the Hunter is fitted with a freshly-designed stock that echoes the shape and ergonomics of the Mark V Backcountry 2.0 family of rifles that debuted earlier in 2021. The Hunter’s polymer stock features the same trim, flat-bottomed forend, ambidextrous palm swells and aluminum pillar construction and is finished in a Granite Speckle.

Threaded 1/2×28 for use with a suppressor or brake, the Mark V Hunter’s barreled action is sealed under a shell of Cobalt Cerakote, shielding it from the elements. A deep-fluted bolt with removable knob not only trims a little weight and helps clear dust and debris, it also reduces the bearing surface within the action resulting in smoother operation.

The Mark V Hunter is available in a wide range of cartridges, both Weatherby Magnum chamberings as well as American classics: Read more

Hunting Waterfowl in Saskatchewan

By Jay Pinsky – Editor, The Hunting Wire

The Weatherby Element and Boss ammunition combo was a superb tool on the Saskatchewan prairies for waterfowl.

Waterfowl hunting isn’t for the faint of heart. Bitterly cold temperatures, low, gray skies, and strong winds which ruin most hunts put smiles on most waterfowlers faces, who know success often comes long after most fair-weather hunters call it quits. As such, waterfowl hunters, at least the ones who do it a second time, pride themselves on being a hearty lot. They demand a lot of themselves, their hunting dogs, and their equipment not just for a single experience, but as a lifetime.

That said, waterfowlers need guns which don’t just look tough, but genuinely are tough. Not just for one day, or for one shot-of-a-lifetime moment. No, waterfowl hunting guns must work every day, in the worst weather, frozen, with gloves on, in the dark of blinds, by feel, with heavy loads and under all kinds of shooting situations. After all, there’s not a lot of waterfowl hunting at a sporting clay course these days. Waterfowl guns must work while muddy, often filthy on the inside, and if you’re lucky, reeking of wet dog, Canada goose guts, and of course shotgun shell powder. Waterfowl shotguns aren’t expected to be runway models. Nope, they’re as blue-collar as a gun can be which is why the best ones demand white-collar dollars.
