FPC Brief: New York Parks Are Not Constitution-Free Zones

NEW YORK CITY – Today, Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) announced the filing of its reply brief with the federal Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in its lawsuit challenging New York’s ban on firearm carry in public parks.

FPC’s brief says, “The State’s chief argument in favor of the Ban is, effectively, that it has the right to create ‘new’ types of old [gun ban] spaces, with the difference being that firearms are not allowed under the new rules—but that is precisely the type of change the Second Amendment is designed to prevent, and the State’s argument must be rejected.”

FPC President Brandon Combs said, “New York responded to the Supreme Court’s Bruen decision by doing exactly what the Court said it could not and banned carry in most all public places. New York’s petulance and tyranny should be put to an end by the Second Circuit. We will continue to fight forward and eliminate unconstitutional laws like this so peaceable gun owners can fully exercise their rights when and how they choose.” Read more

Foxtrot Mike Products Unveils RMB Recoil Mitigation Buffer System

Foxtrot Mike Products, a trusted name in firearm innovation for over nine years, proudly announces the launch of its latest advancement: the RMB (Recoil Mitigating Buffer) System. Designed specifically for pistol caliber carbines (PCCs), the RMB is a proprietary buffer system that dramatically improves performance, accuracy, and shooting comfort — while maintaining the affordability and reliability that Foxtrot Mike is known for.

At the core of the RMB is a finely tuned reciprocating mass that eliminates bolt bounce — a long-standing issue in traditional blowback-operated PCCs. Combined with a sliding buffer body, a dampening spring, and a durable urethane impact modifier, the RMB system delivers a soft, controlled recoil impulse that users will feel immediately — and high-speed video confirms it: 100% elimination of bolt bounce.

SAF Lawsuit Challenges Under 21 Handgun Ban in Connecticut

The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) and its partners have filed a lawsuit in federal court challenging Connecticut’s ban on adults under the age of 21 from purchasing, owning or carrying handguns.

“Second Amendment rights cannot be withheld from peaceable adults based on their age,” said SAF Executive Director Adam Kraut. “To do so would relegate the amendment’s guarantees to second-class status, which offends the very notion of the Constitution’s premise. Our nation’s history and tradition does not support this ‘Second Amendment lite’ version being offered to 18-20-year-olds in Connecticut. This lawsuit seeks to vindicate the rights of those individuals who are being unlawfully discriminated against based solely on their age.” Read more

HK MR556 A4 Upper Receiver Kits Now Available

Heckler & Koch USA announces the availability of MR556 A4 upper receiver kits for sale at HK dealers nationwide. The MR556 kits are available in 11” and 16” barrel lengths and carry the same lifetime barrel wear warranty as a complete MR A4 rifle.

Michigan Fish and Aquatic Systems Will Benefit from Over $1.1 Million in Grants

Funding will support projects in 13 Michigan counties

Nine conservation projects on lakes and streams throughout the state will share more than $1.1 million, courtesy of Fisheries Habitat Grants from the Michigan Department of Natural Resources. The funds are matched by more than $250,000 in partner contributions, for a total conservation value of over $1.4 million.

“We’re excited to support our partner organizations in projects to create healthier lakes and streams with healthier fish populations, better habitat and cleaner water,” said Randy Claramunt, chief of the DNR Fisheries Division. “Our natural resources make Michigan an outdoor recreation destination, and these projects will provide long-lasting benefits to protect and enhance this appeal.”

The funded projects will rehabilitate and protect valuable fish habitats that provide the foundation for Michigan’s fisheries. Five of them are DNR Priority Habitat Conservation Projects — those proactively identified by the department as important to sustaining healthy habitats, fisheries and aquatic communities — and three are projects that directly benefit priorities of Michigan’s Wildlife Action Plan.
