NYT/CBS Poll Shows Majority Rejects Gun Prohibition Agenda


BELLEVUE, WA – Last week’s New York Times/CBS News poll that found more people reject the notion of banning so-called “assault weapons” shows that a majority of Americans are now rejecting the anti-gun agenda, the Second Amendment Foundation said today.

“This New York Times/CBS poll proves that Americans reject the gun prohibition agenda of Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and the liberal media,” SAF founder and Executive Vice President Alan Gottlieb said. “Apparently anti-gunners haven’t noticed the lines of people at gun shops and gun shows, and they refuse to acknowledge all of the new applications for concealed carry licenses and permits around the country.”

The poll showed that for the first time ever, a majority opposes a ban on semi-auto firearms. Read more

GW:  I’ve seen where the Natural Resources Commission is not opposed to the use of suppressors for hunting.  Let the “hearing” begin!

Michigan is one of four states where it’s legal for a gun owner to own a silencer, but illegal to hunt with one.

Knox Williams is with the American Suppressor Association, an industry trade group. Williams is one of several industry reps who spoke to the Michigan Natural Resources Commission last week. He says Michigan hunters would suffer less hearing loss if they were allowed to use silencers.

Weatherby Introduces the Vanguard Dangerous Game Rifle


Weatherby Inc., legendary firearms manufacturer, is honored to introduce the DGR, one of the latest iterations of the Vanguard® series that debuted in the late 1960s. Since that time, Vanguard® rifles have redefined the level of performance that’s attainable from a production hunting rifle —especially budget-friendly models.
Continuing that convention, the economical Vanguard® DGR is replete with features that’ll endear it to those individuals who pursue perilous species or venture through hazardous environments.Adhering to the Weatherby® axiom, “Nothing is … more accurate,” accompanying the Vanguard® DGR is an accuracy guarantee; when using premium ammunition, it will produce a three-shot group measuring 0.99-inch or less at 100 yds. from a cold barrel.

In addition to aiding the aforementioned accuracy assurance, the cold-hammer-forged, 24-inch, No. 2-contour barrel extracts the full potential of the .375 H&H Magnum to deliver upon the maxim, “Nothing … hits harder.” To ensure perfect shot placement in a host of lighting conditions, the barrel is topped with the field-proven New England Custom Gun (NECG) rear sight and the perfect complement, a Williams Gun Sight Co. hooded front sight. Sight-skewing and game-alarming glare is minimized through the use of a bead-blasted, matte-blue finish. Read more

Ruger Introduces 10/22 Takedown with Target Barrel

Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc. (NYSE: RGR) is proud to introduce the new Ruger® 10/22 Takedown® with target barrel. This newest introduction shares all the popular attributes of the 10/22 Takedown line. Readily separated into two subassemblies, the 10/22 Takedown offers a convenient transport and storage option for the popular Ruger 10/22®.

As reliable and accurate as every 10/22, the 10/22 Takedown makes it even easier to keep America’s favorite rimfire rifle by your side. The barrel and forend of the 10/22 Takedown are easily separated from the action and buttstock by pushing a recessed lever, twisting the subassemblies and pulling them apart. Reassembly is the reverse of takedown, and is quick and easy. The friction fit lockup of the assembly joint is simple to adjust, but will rarely need re-adjustment after the first assembly. The lockup is secure and repeatable, ensuring an accurate return to zero, even when receiver-mounted optics are used.

The Ruger 10/22 Takedown with target barrel features a .920″ diameter, 16.10″ cold hammer-forged barrel. The barrel is fluted for weight reduction, features a ½”-28 threaded muzzle and is fitted with a thread cap. This new target barrel takedown model also incorporates the Ruger Modular Stock System and comes with both low and high comb, standard length of pull modules. Read more
