SK Customs Unveils Second Installment of Outlaws & Bandits Series: Joaquin Murrieta

SK Guns®, the Nation’s only series-driven, limited-edition manufacturer of custom firearms, is proud to announce the second installment of its new Outlaws & Bandits Series, Joaquin Murrieta. The limited edition run of 200 Colt 1911s is chambered in .38 Super, with each pistol including a special engraved edition number.

This new series is an homage to Joaquin Murrieta, who emerged in legend as a symbol of resistance, justice and cultural pride in the years following the California Gold Rush. A Mexican miner who suffered violence, discrimination and the loss of his family at the hands of Anglo settlers, Murrieta’s story transformed from personal tragedy into folklore.

Murrieta is often regarded as the Robin Hood of the West: the heroic bandit who stole from the powerful to aid the oppressed. In corridos, poems and oral histories across the American West and Mexico, Murrieta appears less as a criminal and more as a champion of the poor.

“It’s debated how much of Murrieta’s story is factual and how much is a folk legend, but his cultural impact is undeniable,” said Simon Khiabani, owner and founder of SK Guns. “For many Mexican Americans, Murrieta represents resilience against marginalization and an enduring hope for justice. Over time, he’s been elevated beyond history into myth, where truth and symbolism blend.”

Details on the left side of the gun’s slide include Murrieta’s famous quote – “If you betray me, I will scatter to the winds all that you have and all that you love” – and a flower scroll indigenous to Mexico in 24k gold. On the rear panel is the iconic Colt serpent logo, also in 24k gold. Read more

SAF Supports Third Lawsuit Challenging Constitutionality of NFA

In an effort to remove the remaining registration requirements from the National Firearms Act (NFA) for silencers and short-barreled rifles, the Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) is now supporting a third lawsuit challenging the law.

In July last year, President Trump signed into law the One Big Beautiful Bill which eliminated the making and transfer taxes on suppressors, short-barreled rifles, short-barreled shotguns, and NFA-defined “any other weapons.” The result being that individuals are no longer taxed for making and transferring most firearms under the NFA, yet burdensome registration requirements for these arms remain in place.

“The government’s historically claimed constitutional authority for the NFA was its ability to levy taxes,” said SAF Executive Director Adam Kraut. “Once President Trump signed the One Big Beautiful Bill and taxes on silencers and short-barreled rifles were zeroed out, that authority no longer applied. Without it, the remaining registration requirements must be struck down as well. That’s exactly why we are now supporting a third challenge to this law in federal court.”

SAF itself is a named plaintiff in the NFA lawsuit Brown v. ATF and is now backing two additional challenges – Jensen v. ATF and the newly filed Roberts v. ATF. Filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky, the named plaintiffs in Roberts are Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership, Center for Human Liberty, American Suppressor Association Foundation, Buckeye Firearms Association, Meridian Ordnance and two private citizens.

“SAF’s mission remains the same as it was when the organization was founded 52 years ago – to defend, secure and restore the Second Amendment rights of all Americans,” said SAF founder and Executive Vice President Alan M. Gottlieb. “That’s why SAF now supports three cases challenging the registration scheme left in the NFA – to ensure law-abiding citizens across America can fully exercise their right to keep and bear arms without fear of being added to a government watchlist.” Read more

Michigan DNR expands digital tagging for Michigan hunters

eHarvest screenshots from appThe Michigan Department of Natural Resources is expanding its eHarvest digital tagging system to include most species that require a kill tag, offering a modern and convenient alternative to traditional paper tags for hunters across the state.

Beginning with the 2026 license year, hunters harvesting deer, turkey, bear, bobcat, otter, fisher and marten will have the option to tag harvested animals digitally through the Michigan DNR Hunt Fish mobile app. The digital tagging expansion follows successful pilot programs for turkey eHarvest tagging in 2024 and 2025 and represents another step in Michigan’s effort to modernize hunting services and improve customer convenience.

Hunters should ensure they have the most recent version of the app to take advantage of the new eHarvest tags. The DNR recommends going to the app store on their device and searching for Michigan DNR Hunt Fish – if the app store indicates “get” or “install,” they will need to download the new version.

Digital eHarvest tags are optional. Traditional paper tags will continue to be available through eLicense and at retail agents for hunters who prefer them.

Kill tags purchased through the app will be digital eHarvest tags, and those purchased via eLicense or at a retail agent will be traditional paper tags. Read more

Big Nest Boxes for Ducks, Owls, & Kestrels

Because large natural cavities are in limited supply, Wood Ducks and other large cavity nesting birds have benefitted as populations and a species by birders who have provided big nest boxes.

There is probably no greater level of nest box excitement than when you are successful in attracting a small owl, kestrel, or duck to a Big Nest Box on your property or a nearby location. Imagine the thrill of attracting larger cavity nesting birds, like a pair of colorful Wood Ducks or impressive Hooded Mergansers – or screech owls or a pair of American Kestrels – all exceptional birds that anyone would be thrilled to assist by providing a sturdy, safe, and dependable nest site. Adding a big nest box to the local environment is very positive way of joining in a true conservation effort because you will help cavity nesting birds during the most important part of their life cycle – the nesting season – by ensuring there is another safe nesting site available each spring.

Installing a single big nest box is not an overpowering effort for most birders, but when birders across a state or around our nation make that effort, it can make a huge difference to birds looking for a nesting cavity each spring – especially considering the short supply of suitable large natural nesting cavities.
