NSSF Applauds Rep. Bergman’s FIND Act Introduction

NSSF®, the firearm industry trade association, welcomed the introduction of H.R. 45, the Firearm Industry Nondiscrimination (FIND) Act, into Congress by U.S. Rep. Jack Bergman (R-Mich.). The bill has 38 co-sponsors. This vital legislation will end the ability of corporate entities from profiting from taxpayer-funded federal contracts while discriminating against a Constitutionally-protected industry at the same time.

“This legislation is critical to ensuring ‘woke’ corporations don’t use their financial might, funded by taxpayers, to deny essential services to the firearm industry,” said Lawrence G. Keane, NSSF Senior Vice President and General Counsel. “Corporations, in particular financial institutions, have been dictating public policies from boardrooms that throttle firearm businesses, which are Constitutionally protected. This bill will no longer allow those corporations to benefit from taxpayer dollars while at the same time using those funds to deny Americans their Second Amendment rights. We thank Congressman Bergman for his leadership to ensure fairness in business, reasserting Congress’s role in ensuring the federal government isn’t picking winners and losers in the marketplace based on politics and protecting the ability of a lawful industry to compete for services without artificial and agenda-driven barriers.” Read more

Speer Ammunition Gets Big Contract with Nordic Police

Speer Ammunition was recently awarded the joint Nordic Police 9mm duty handgun ammunition contract for Speer 124-grain Gold Dot. The duty handgun contract will supply these agencies for up to seven years and includes police agencies in Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Iceland, and Finland.

“We have a long history with these customers, and we are extremely pleased with the renewal of this prestigious contract,” said VP of Law Enforcement, Government and International Sales David Leis. “This contract validates the high trust that international law enforcement agencies have with our extremely reliable and innovative product. Regarding dependability and terminal ballistics, Speer is the gold standard, and we are proud to continue to supply them with exceptional ammunition.”

The selected duty rounds utilize Speer Gold Dot technology, which has set an industry benchmark for both self-defense and duty use, earning the trust of consumers and law enforcement world-wide. The bullet features a pressure-formed lead core that is bonded to an extremely uniform jacket, a single atom at a time that virtually eliminates separation on impact for more retained weight and consistent penetration depths. The Gold Dot hollow-point design expands consistently through a full range of barriers. Reliable ignition and cycling are delivered thanks to sealed primers and nickel-plated brass.

Speer Ammunition can be found at dealers nationwide and online. For more information on all Speer products, visit www.speer.com.

Today’s fall fingerlings, tomorrow’s big catches

Jan. 8, 2025

A successful fall fish stocking season means future fishing opportunities

The Department of Natural Resources worked hard this past fall to stock fish in waters across Michigan — fish that will provide anglers with more opportunities in seasons to come. The fall 2024 effort saw DNR crews stock seven different species at 78 locations throughout the state; in all, 590,504 fish, weighing in at 10.7 tons, were added to Michigan waters.

“It was another exceptional fall fish stocking season, enhancing fishing opportunities throughout Michigan,” said DNR Fish Production Program manager Aaron Switzer. “Combined with our successful spring and summer stocking efforts, that brings the total for 2024 to more than 9.7 million fish stocked in Michigan’s waters.”

The number and type of fish stocked vary by hatchery, as each facility’s ability to rear fish differs due to water supply and temperature. In Michigan, there are six state and three cooperative hatcheries that work together to produce the species, strain and size of fish needed by fisheries managers. These fish must then be delivered at a specific time and location for stocking to ensure their success.

In general, fish are reared in Michigan’s state fish hatcheries anywhere from one month to 1 1/2 years before they are stocked. Most fish in Michigan are stocked in the spring, but some fish are stocked in the fall because they require less time and fewer resources to rear in hatcheries, and may adjust better to new environments as they are younger and more adaptable to change.

Seven species were stocked this fall: Atlantic salmon, brook trout, brown trout, lake trout, rainbow trout (Eagle Lake and steelhead strains), walleye and muskellunge. Read more

Democrats Deny Common-Sense Legislation

Doubling down in their resistance movement, a total of 159 U.S. House Democrats voted Tuesday, January 7th, against proposed legislation titled the Laken Riley Act that would require federal immigration authorities to detain illegal migrants who have committed theft-related crimes in the U.S.  The bill would also allow states to sue the Department of Homeland Security for harm caused to their law-abiding citizens because of illegal immigration.

The bill easily passed the House in spite of the Democrat crazies.

Mossberg’s 590M Mag-Fed Shotguns Professional Series

Mossberg shotguns and rifles that earn the Professional Series designation undergo an enhanced assembly and quality control process, have special finishes and features, and are optimized for performance. Two new versions of Mossberg’s 590M Magazine-Fed pump actions join this exclusive series with option of black or orange synthetic furniture (compact and Magpul® models available); Cerakote® protective finish on barrel, receiver, and magazine tube; and this groundbreaking 12-gauge, 2.75-inch platform is fed from the first production double-stacked magazine made for pump actions.

Mossberg’s 590M Mag-Fed design utilizes integral stabilizing ribs on the magazine which engage directly to notches engineered into the receiver for a positive lock-up. The all-steel, ambidextrous magazine release button and housing are strategically positioned in front of the trigger guard and will not interfere with cycling of the action. Accessory 590M double-stack magazines are available in 5, 10, 15, 20-round capacities to provide for greater capacity in shorter magazine length than competitor’s single-stack design and the ability to quickly reload or change shell type – slugs, buckshot, or less lethal.

The double-stack 590M magazines are constructed with hardened-steel feed lips, over-molded steel shell ramps and an anti-cant, rounded follower to ensure reliable feeding. Additional features include an easy-grip, molded external shell; proprietary self-lubricating polymer magazine body; heavy-duty ASTM-A-228 music-wire magazine spring for prolonged service life; removable floor plate for ease of cleaning; and durable black oxide finish on the steel components.
