Louisiana: Constitutional Carry Bill Passes House

Knife Rights supported Louisiana Constitutional Carry bill, HB 131, which includes knives, was passed by the House by a bipartisan vote of 71-39. All “weapons,” including knives, are covered by the bill. The bill now moves to the Senate.

We thank the primary sponsors for ensuring this bill covers all weapons, including knives. We work tirelessly to persuade legislators that Constitutional and Permitless Carry isn’t just about firearms or handguns. The Constitution doesn’t say “firearms,” is says “arms.” Our knives are arms, protected by the Second Amendment. Read more

Six Reasons to Own a Ruger 10/22

There are only a few guns that one might consider truly ubiquitous. The 1911 is certainly one. The Glock 19 has rocketed up onto this list over the last couple decades. Smith & Wesson’s J-Frame revolver is probably, or definitely, there. And, of course, the AR-15.

The 10/22 rifle from Ruger is, without a doubt, on this list. And just like with the 1911, the AR-15 and the Glock 19, it is one of the few firearms that has given birth to an ecosystem of aftermarket accessory companies.

The basic look of the standard Ruger 10/22 is, after almost 60 years, iconic, and the ideal canvas upon which you can design your own custom version. Photo courtesy of Ruger Read more

A Tree Can Be a Bird Magnet

A variety of warblers and orioles, including this Blue-winged Warbler, were feeding at this blooming crabapple tree (photos by Paul Konrad).
Ripening mulberries attract many migrating birds in the southern half of the United States, such as a Scarlet Tanager (above) and a Cedar Waxwing (below). Everyone needs a “magnet tree” in their yard.

Planting a tree is a long-term proposition, but trees are key to attracting many birds to our yards, and the right trees can create a special attraction in the form of foods. Fruits or berries, flower nectar, small insects attracted to flowers, and small caterpillars among the foliage create a buffet for migrating birds and local nesting species. Each tree also provides cover, nesting sites, and shade – all so important in creating backyard habitat.

A single tree can make all the difference in your yard; one that flowers in the spring can attract orioles, tanagers, waxwings, hummingbirds, warblers, and other birds looking for flower nectar, small insects, and caterpillars they need during a migration stopover, or throughout the nesting season. The same tree may also produce fruit later in the year that benefits robins and other thrushes, waxwings, tanagers, and catbirds. Read more
