Krieghoff Gun of the Year 2023 ‘Buffalo Jump’

Each year Krieghoff selects an iconic theme for the Gun of the Year to be engraved by some of the best European Master Engravers. Krieghoff then reveals the year’s “Gun of the Year” at the IWA Outdoor Classic in Nuremberg Germany, and the results are always spectacular.

The Krieghoff Gun of the Year 2023 “Buffalo Jump” honors a Native American hunting tradition. Named after the cliffs that played a vital part in their hunting success, the K-80/S engraved by Creative Art features historic hunting scenes rendered in remarkable detail and grace.

Creative Art places you in the hunt so realistically you can feel the thundering of hooves and the adrenaline of the hunt. The receiver sides of the K-80/S portray the Native American braves driving the bison towards the “Buffalo Jump”. Each hunter displays their expert horsemanship as they charge on their mounts toward the gathering herd. Some ride reinless while releasing arrows and waving their bows to direct the herd to the cliffs. Caught up in the frenzy, one horse rears wildly, his skilled rider maintains focus and charges forward. A wizened Chief and young brave supervise the hunt across both the expanded side plates on each side of the receiver. Read more

Federal Judge Grants Preliminary Injunction in Vanderstok Case

BELLEVUE, WA – A federal judge in Texas has granted a preliminary injunction against the federal government’s enforcement of the final rule regarding partially manufactured firearm parts and kits in a case known as VanDerStok v. Garland, which challenged the authority of the Justice Department and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) to regulate items that are not firearms, as if they were firearms.

“This is a huge victory,” said Alan Gottlieb, founder and executive vice president of the Second Amendment Foundation, which was allowed to intervene in the case last summer, along with Defense Distributed, a Texas-based company. “The court’s preliminary determination is pretty straightforward, and it notes that SAF and Defense Distributed are likely to succeed on the merits of their case against the receiver rule.”

The decision was issued by Judge Reed O’Connor for the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas, Fort Worth Division. His preliminary injunction applies to Defense Distributed and its clients.

“We are pleased with the Courts ruling, which correctly finds we are likely to succeed on our claims,” said Adam Kraut, SAF’s Executive Director. “Judge O’Connor agrees that ATF’s final rule expanded the agency’s authority over parts that may be ‘readily converted’ into frames or receivers, which surpasses the authority granted by Congress. Even more compelling is that the judge agrees that ATF’s rule unlawfully treats parts kits as firearms. It is refreshing to see rogue administrative agencies being reined in by the checks and balances of our system of government.” Read more

The Richmond Falcon Cam Is Back

RICHMOND, VA — The Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources (DWR) is happy to announce that the popular Richmond Falcon Cam is now live for the 2023 season and available for viewing at dwr.virginia.gov/falcon-cam/. The Falcon Cam is a live streaming camera which follows the activities of a peregrine falcon pair that nests in downtown Richmond, Virginia, atop the 21st floor of the Riverfront Plaza building.

Biologists monitoring the stream have observed the previous year’s pair on a regular basis throughout the past month. “Falcon fans will be happy to hear that our familiar female (95/AK) and male (59/BM) have once again shown an interest in utilizing the Riverfront building as a nest site,” said Meagan Thomas, Watchable Wildlife Biologist for DWR. “This pair has done an absolutely phenomenal job raising their chicks in the past two years, so I’m thrilled to see both birds on camera again.”

As long as no new birds show up and displace one of the current pair, the first egg will likely be laid around late-March. Until then, viewers can expect to see the falcons maintaining their nest, otherwise known as a “scrape,” and continue to engage in courtship behaviors, such as sharing prey items and repeatedly bowing to one another.

Comcast Business provides the Internet connection that allows thousands of wildlife lovers to follow the falcons via the live video feed of the nest. This is the seventh year that DWR has partnered with Comcast Business to facilitate the livestream. Read more

Silencer Shop and ASA-F Fight to Restore Illinois’ Suppressor Rights

Silencer Shop and the American Suppressor Association Foundation (ASA-F) have teamed up to fight back against an unconstitutional ban on suppressors. Illinois has had a long-standing ban on the sale and possession of silencers, limiting law-abiding citizens’ second amendment right to bear arms and to protect the hearing of themselves and others. Illinois is one of only eight states with a silencer ban in place, but that may change soon thanks to the combined effort of Silencer Shop and the ASA-F.

After the groundbreaking New York State Rifle & Pistol Association, Inc. v. Bruen decision in 2022 asserted that the state must demonstrate that the ban is consistent with “the Nation’s historical tradition of firearm regulation.” other state gun laws are being examined through the same lens. Our Lawsuit alleges that there is no historical tradition for banning safety equipment and that silencers make firearms safer. Read more

The memorandum was filed in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Western Division. Plaintiffs in the case are Benjamin Schoenthal, Mark Wroblewski, Joseph Vesel and Douglas Winston. They are all residents of counties in northern Illinois in the greater Chicago area, and all are SAF members. They are represented by attorney David Sigale of Wheaton, Ill.

Defendants are Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul and State’s Attorneys Rick Amato (DeKalb County), Robert Berlin (DuPage County), Kimberly M. Foxx (Cook County) and Eric Rinehart (Lake County), all in their official capacities.

According to the memorandum, Illinois bans law-abiding citizens, who are licensed to carry firearms under Illinois law from carrying their firearms for self-defense “on or into . . . [a]ny bus, train, or form of transportation paid for in whole or in part with public funds, and any building, real property, and parking area under the control of a public transportation facility paid for in whole or in part with public funds.” They contend the Public Transportation carry ban is unconstitutional.
