Hatsan Break Barrel Repeater Shown at IWA

Bentonville, AR— Last year, Hatsan introduced the world’s first 14-shot under-lever with the release of its Proxima. But 2018 will usher in something else to the Hatsan line-up – a repeating break barrel duly named SpeedFire.

The SpeedFire is unique to Hatsan’s catalog with its multi-shot magazine and automatic loading mechanism.  With just a single motion, Hatsan’s EZ-Load Action System quickly cocks and loads the gun for up to 12 shots of rapid-fire. For those that prefer open sights, the magazine housing doubles as an adjustable rear sight, and the front sight folds up from its protected storage position – each equipped with TruGlo fibers.

The SpeedFire’s new lightweight barrel is completely shrouded, with an integrated sound moderator for downrange noise reduction. It also features an optics riser rail for both Picatinny and 11mm dovetail mount compatibility, with ample room to put your scope right where you want it. With just the push of a button, the Rapid Performance Mag (RPM) magazine’s spring-loaded receptacle pushes it up out of place, making it easy to remove and exchange with the next full magazine.  Equipped with Hatsan’s signature SAS (Shock Absorber System) and Quattro 2-stage adjustable trigger, it will be hard to beat at an MSRP of $199.99.

U.S. District Court Denies Mass. AG’s Motion to Dismiss Suit

U.S. District Court Denies Mass. A. G. Healey’s Motion to Dismiss Suit against Overreaching ‘Enforcement Notice’

NEWTOWN, Conn. – A U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts judge has denied state Attorney General Maura Healey’s motion to dismiss the lawsuit brought by four federally-licensed Massachusetts firearms retailers and the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF), the trade association for the firearms and ammunition industry, challenging the overreaching “Enforcement Notice” issued by her office in 2016 that deprived the retailers of their due process protections. The suit, which seeks declaratory relief and a permanent injunction enjoining enforcement, can now move forward.

The retailers, all NSSF members, are Pullman Arms Inc. of Worcester, Guns and Gear, LLC of Agawam, Paper City Firearms of Holyoke, and Grrr Gear of Orange.

“Attorney General Healy overstepped her authority when she issued the ‘enforcement notice’ banning certain firearms that have been lawfully sold in the state since at least 1998. Firearms retailers in Massachusetts were left to determine the meaning or scope of the Attorney General’s Enforcement Notice and subsequent explanations,” said Lawrence G. Keane, NSSF senior vice president and general counsel. “Because criminal penalties can result due to Attorney General Healey’s unilateral reinterpretation of a state statute done without administrative process or input from affected parties, her office exceeded its lawful authority and retailers were deprived of their due process protections under the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments.” Read more

NRA Files Suit Challenging Florida’s Newly-Enacted Anti-Gun Legislation

FAIRFAX, Va. – The National Rifle Association today announced that it has filed a lawsuit challenging the State of Florida’s newly-enacted ban on the purchase of firearms by young adults between the ages of 18-21.

Florida’s ban is an affront to the Second Amendment, as it totally eviscerates the right of law-abiding adults between the ages of 18 and 21 to keep and bear arms. The ban is particularly offensive with respect to young women, as women between the ages of 18 and 21 are much less likely to engage in violent crime than older members of the general population who are unaffected by the ban. Despite this fact, the State of Florida has enacted a sweeping law banning all young adults between the ages of 18 and 21 from purchasing any firearm from any source. Chris Cox, the Executive Director of the NRA’s Institute for Legislative Action, stated, “Swift action is needed to prevent young adults in Florida from being treated as second-class citizens when it comes to the right to keep and bear arms.

We are confident that the courts will vindicate our view that Florida’s ban is a blatant violation of the Second Amendment.” The case is National Rifle Association of America, Inc. v. Bondi, and it has been filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Florida. Read more
