USCCA Responds to President Obama’s Executive Order to Expand Gun Control

GW:  I watched the Tyrant in Chief live yesterday, as he continued his assault on my rights to own firearms without registering them.  And, that’s what he’s attempting to do – even though he doesn’t have the authority vested in his throne.  All I heard was we need bigger government and we need to register all firearms.  I couldn’t listen to the entire pathetic speech and had to tune out.

Summary: USCCA President and Founder Tim Schmidt responds to President Obama’s executive action on guns Tuesday morning.

In a statement earlier today, President Barack Obama announced his plan to initiate a new executive order that includes but is not limited to expanding background checks for private gun sellers.

According to Fox News, the President’s actions “mark a renewed bid…to enact gun control measures with or without Congress.”

USCCA President and Founder Tim Schmidt notes that “President Obama’s anti-freedom, pro-socialism executive order—his blatant push for more gun control—is a direct response to calls from anti-gunners—who, by the way, do not comprise the majority of people in this country—to do ‘something’ about the perceived level of gun violence across the U.S.”

He insists, “We absolutely cannot stand for this gross overreach of power that directly and negatively affects millions of law-abiding men and women in this country.” Read more

New Ameristep Crush Silencer Blind


PLANO, IL The new-for-2016, Crush Silencer Blind lives up to its name, featuring mesh screens and window covers that work on Ameristep’s innovative Silent Slide Track System, which means no more sounds of zippers and Velcro shattering the early morning stillness and sounding alarm bells to nearby game. The door does have a full-length double zipper to seal the blind off when not in use, but the Crush Silencer has a sound-killing trick up its sleeve: A fabric flap surrounding the door can be quickly fastened to the blind’s fiber poles with a clever, silent clip system to seal and secure the door when the blind is occupied. This provides the hunter with complete concealment, scent containment and protection from the elements without using the zipper. Read more

MI DNR checks 1 million deer thanks to Michigan hunters’ cooperation


GW: I really feel like a partner in the effort to contain CWD, having taken 4 whitetail deer in for testing…The Michigan Department of Natural Resources has been collecting records for individual deer since 1987 – although it has been recording deer data for more than 50 years – and near the end of 2015, the DNR added its 1 millionth deer record to this database.

Michigan hunters have the opportunity to voluntarily bring their harvested deer to DNR deer check stations throughout the deer hunting season and receive a prized deer hunter cooperator patch. The data collected through this process includes age, sex and location of the deer harvested.

“Checking 1 million deer in this time frame shows the department’s commitment to collecting data from our deer herd to support science-based management, but also shows the level of cooperation by our hunters throughout the years,” said Chad Stewart, DNR deer management specialist.
