NRA Ad Campaign Exposes the Real Michael Bloomberg

Michael Bloomberg is not having the success in burying the NRA that he expected when he announced his $50 million campaign against the Second Amendment and the formation of his gun control umbrella group, Everytown for Gun Safety.

As we reported last week, his investment in Milwaukee to defeat pro-gun Sheriff David Clarke failed in spite of the huge infusion of cash Bloomberg provided to promote Clarke’s anti-gun opponent. This defeat, on top of the recall of Colorado state senators last year, shows the inherent weakness of Bloomberg’s operation: it has no real grassroots support, just money and bluster.

To make things worse for the former mayor, NRA has launched a national effort aimed at exposing Michael Bloomberg’s anti-freedom agenda. The “Meet the Real Michael Bloomberg” advertising campaign kicked off this week with a television advertisement titled “Insult.”  “Insult” is the first in a series of ads that will highlight Bloomberg’s hypocrisy, arrogance and desire to control the lives of ordinary Americans.

“Insult”

Nobody insults your life like Michael Bloomberg. Billionaire, elitist, hypocrite. He’s tried to ban your snack foods, your soda and most of all your guns. Bloomberg said the largest county in Colorado is “as far rural as you can get. I don’t think there’s roads there.” That’s what he thinks of your state too. Tell Bloomberg to keep his politics in NY and his hands off our guns and our freedom.

Clinton-Appointed Judge Upholds Maryland’s “Assault Weapon” and “Large” Magazine Bans in Ultra-Biased Opinion

This week’s ruling by the judge of the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland reminds us why it is important to elect U.S. senators who will reject an anti-gun president’s anti-gun nominees to the federal courts, and to elect presidents who will not nominate anti-gunners in the first place.

On Tuesday, August 12, Judge Catherine C. Blake, appointed to the court by President Bill Clinton, upheld Maryland’s “assault weapon” and “large” magazine ban in the case of Kolbe v. O’Malley. Read more

DRT Introduces 50 Cal 170gr. TSMZ

DRT Ammunition is proud to introduce the new 50 Cal 170gr. TSMZ. This Terminal Shock Muzzle Loader bullet is .451dia and comes with Harvester Sabots in a 12 round package. The new TSMZ line was made to extend the range of the common inline muzzleloader, offering a non-lead projectile that is more consistent, and provides the terminal ballistics on which DRT builds its reputation. Our powdered core has given the bullet an unprecedented stability and will shoot less than a minute of angle at 100 and 200 yards out of a quality rifle.

We used a 115gr of Blackhorn 209 with CCI 209 shotshell primers and a Thompson Center Triumph to test this bullet for accuracy. We also used 150 Gr (3 pellets) of White Hots in a TC Encore Pro Hunter. The TSMZ is a powdered core, just like our other projectiles, and is incredibly devastating. The bullet will pass through bone and parts of the bullet core remain intact continuing to move through the animal, which makes it perfect for hunting – causing massive internal damage. This truly is an accurate and deadly bullet, unlike any other available. Read more
