FPC Warns of Trump DOJ Efforts to Block Enforcement of Constitutional Rights

FORT WORTH, Texas – Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) today warned of a new Trump Administration strategy to block enforcement of constitutional rights.

In its recent brief in Elite Precision Customs v. ATF — FPC’s Second Amendment lawsuit challenging the federal ban on purchasing handguns outside a person’s state of residence — the Department of Justice argued that, if FPC is successful in striking down the law, the court should enter an extremely narrow injunction that would leave the unconstitutional law in place for everyone except two individuals and one Texas firearms retailer, allowing them to continue denying millions of peaceable people their right to keep and bear arms.

“If the Court grants an injunction, that injunction should extend no further than to bar enforcement of any laws the Court deems unconstitutional against the named plaintiffs specifically identified in the complaint,” the Trump Administration argues in its brief. “Because the [FPC] has not identified any of its members other than the named plaintiffs, the government would have no way to know whom an injunction restricting enforcement of the challenged laws covers.” Read more

Pronghorn Numbers Strong in Eastern Montana, Mixed Bag Everywhere Else

Pronghorn are some of Montana’s most popular game animals to pursue, and their populations span much of the eastern two-thirds of the state and even some valleys in western Montana.

However, hard winters and droughts can have big impacts on populations and so from year to year the numbers can fluctuate some. A few years ago, a tough winter in central Montana took a toll on antelope numbers, but in many places, things are looking up. Particularly in part of eastern Montana where numbers are well above normal trends.

This Isn’t an Upgrade. It’s an Uprising.

NRA Lands Major Legal Victory: New Mexico Waiting Period Law Ruled Unconstitutional

In response to the major Second Amendment victory in Ortega v. Grisham, the NRA lawsuit against New Mexico’s seven-day waiting period law, John Commerford, Executive Director of NRA-ILA, released the following statement:

“In courtrooms across America, the NRA is successfully leading the charge to protect law-abiding Americans’ Second Amendment rights. The 10th Circuit has sided with the NRA and held that radical waiting period laws are indeed unconstitutional. This decision not only impacts gun owners in New Mexico but serves as a key piece in dismantling similar gun control laws across the country.” – John Commerford, NRA-ILA Executive Director Read more

Blaser F16 Pro Series Shotgun Wins Outdoor Life Editor’s Choice Award

The Blaser F16 Pro Series over-and-under shotgun was named Editor’s Choice by Outdoor Life in the competition category. Described by Outdoor Life as a “Fabulous shooter,” the test team also mentioned its “Excellent craftsmanship” and “very good value”.

“Shooting a Blaser F16 Pro in a sporting clays competition won’t guarantee anything beyond a participation trophy, but you sure as hell will shoot better and tip the odds in your favor of a podium finish if you shoulder one.

This is a purpose-built over and under with one goal in mind – pulverizing clay targets no matter how far away or fast they are traveling. The 32-inch ported barrels and 8.5-pound weight make this the softest shooting double we’ve ever tested, as well as one of the sweetest swinging 12-gauges we’ve shot.” John Snow, Outdoor Life Shooting Editor

Designed by Blaser Pro Staff and World Champion shooter Cory Kruse, and available in right-handed and left-handed models, the F16 Pro Series features an elegant walnut stock (wood grade 4) with an adjusted pitch angle. This allows for a more comfortable flush fit mount on the shoulder while further dispersing felt recoil. Added weight in the stock and barrel deliver perfect balance while aiding in recoil reduction in conjunction with the new Kick-EEZ® butt pad.

The F16 Pro Series 32” barrel comes with RHINO’s patented 13-port “pigeon porting” system and RHINO G1 series chokes with GP30 nonstick coating, exactly like those used by Cory Kruse in competition.

“It is an honor to receive Outdoor Life’s prestigious Editor’s Choice award, and we appreciate their recognition of the time and effort that Cory and the Blaser team put into the design of the F16 Pro Series,” said Jason Evans, CEO, Blaser Group. “This shotgun is tournament ready out of the box, and the reduced recoil and balance of the F16 Pro Series make it a dream to shoot.”
