Dorsey Exposes Animal Rights Groups in Forbes

Excerpt from Chris Dorsey’s latest column

Perhaps you’ve seen the late-night appeals on cable channels from animal rights groups—the public service announcements of a starving dog or cat that will have a better life if you only send $25…immediately? You look down at Rover, resting comfortably on his padded dog bed next to the fire and think wouldn’t it be nice if every dog could have such a life. You’re only a phone call and a credit card away from making the world a happier place and feeling better about yourself at the same time.

That’s a common tug-at-the-heart-strings formula employed by groups like the Humane Society of the United States and others. Most of the people who see their fundraising pitches assume that these are the sweet people who once looked after Rover for a couple of days when he found love down the street and ran off before someone collared him and dropped him off at the local shelter. Who doesn’t want to pay such kindness forward? And therein lies the bait and switch that is the hallmark of the animal rights industry. It’s a formula HSUS has used to become the wealthiest animal rights organization in the world—annual revenues now of roughly $130 million.

Features Primary Arms 4-16×50 FFP MIL-DOT Scope with All-New GLx Riflescope Mount

Includes Magpul FDE Bipod and Extra 20rd SCAR .308 Magazine

Complete Package Valued at Over $4,900

HOUSTON, TEXAS – Primary Arms is celebrating Independence Day with their largest giveaway yet: a fully-kitted FN SCAR 20S Precision Rifle, complete with a Primary Arms GLx riflescope and GLx mount, plus a Magpul bipod and a spare 20rd SCAR .308 magazine. Valued at over $4,900, this rifle package will offer exceptional precision at any range, even when engaging targets beyond 1,000 yards.

For most enthusiasts, the SCAR 20S represents one of the premier precision semi-automatic rifles on the market today. Its steep price-point places it outside the budget for most hobbyists, but with Primary Arms’ giveaway, one winner can take home this marksman’s rifle for free. With a 20in CHF barrel and Geissele Super SCAR two-stage match trigger, this rifle has every feature necessary for sub-MOA groupings, but Primary Arms is providing a few extra accessories to improve performance.

For visibility at distance, Primary Arms includes their GLx 4-16×50 FFP MIL-DOT Riflescope and brand-new GLx 30mm 20MOA riflescope mount. The GLx 4-16×50 FFP Riflescope is a versatile optic that excels at medium-to-long distances. This scope’s turrets use steel adjustment rings and a proprietary locking system to quick and accurate turns that will last a lifetime. This scope comes supported by Primary Arms’ brand new GLx 30mm 20MOA Cantilever Riflescope Mount, which is made with top-quality materials here in the USA. With hardened steel hardware and a special phosphate coating, this mount can apply more clamping force for greater durability and zero-retention. Read more

Walker’s ATACS Sport Earbuds

Walker’s®, the leader in hearing protection and enhancement, announces the release of the company’s most ergonomic electronic sound management system yet for shooters and hunters. ATACS Sport Earbuds delivers the state-of-the-art performance serious shooters demand in a platform designed to excel in all-day comfort and operational convenience.

Increasingly, professional shooters, recreational shooters, and hunters are favoring the comfort and digital control of earbud-style sound management systems to protect their hearing and to amplify and discern ambient sound. While earbuds perform these tasks admirably, fitment and security can vary between shooters—especially during high-activity, high-mobility scenarios such as competition shooting and hunting.

The all-new ATACS Sport Earbuds address these challenges by incorporating a dual retention system into a sophisticated and ergonomic platform. Since shooters come in all shapes and sizes, the Walker’s engineers set out to develop an earbud system that would work for everyone. They did this by incorporating soft and flexible ear hooks and a behind-the-neck retention strap into a freshly designed earbud chassis. This unitized retention system, combined with multi-sized foam ear tips, means the ATACS Sport Earbuds are comfortable to wear under any condition and will remain in place even during high mobility activities.
