SAF Files Appellee’s Brief in California One-Gun-Per-Month Challenge

The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) and its partners, in a long-running legal challenge of California’s one-gun-per-month (OMG) law, have filed an appellee’s brief with the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in response to the state’s effort to keep the law in place.

SAF won a summary judgement at the district court level, but California appealed. The case was originally filed in December 2020.

SAF is joined by the Firearms Policy Coalition, Inc., San Diego County Gun Owners PAC, North County Shooting Center, Inc., PWGG, L.P., a limited partnership, and six private citizens including Michelle Nguyen, for whom the case Nguyen v. Bonta is named. They are represented by attorney Raymond M. DiGuiseppe of Southport, N.C.

“It should be clear to the court that the text of the Second Amendment covers the conduct prohibited by California’s OMG statute,” said SAF Executive Director Adam Kraut. “The state argues that it’s restriction should be considered ‘presumptively lawful’ when it is plainly an unlawful ban on the otherwise lawful purchasing activity of honest citizens who simply wish to exercise their constitutionally protected rights for lawful purposes.” Read more

Bear Creek Arsenal 8.6 Blackout – King of the Subsonic

The 8.6 Blackout is a cartridge that builds upon the popular .300 Blackout. Think of it as the .300 Blackout’s big brother, but for the AR10 platform. It offers twice the reach, double the energy, and triple the lethality. With a simple barrel swap, an AR-10 firearm can be converted to shoot 8.6 Blackout. The cartridge excels in short, lightweight guns, making it handy in the field and quick on target. It utilizes a radical 1:3-inch twist, achieving fantastic accuracy with heavy, subsonic bullets. It is based on a shortened and necked-up 6.5 Creedmoor case, providing maximum subsonic power from a .308-sized platform.

Bear Creek Arsenal now offers the 8.6 Blackout in uppers and rifles. Read more
