CCRKBA to Biden: “Find the Second Amendment”

BELLEVUE, WA — The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms today reacted to Democrat Joe Biden’s challenge that President Donald Trump should “open the U.S. Constitution” to find the First Amendment by suggesting the former vice president is the one who needs a refresher on constitutional rights.

“If Joe Biden would open the Constitution,” said CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb, “he would find the Second Amendment. It’s obvious President Trump has already read the Second Amendment, and that Biden and his Democrats wish it didn’t exist.”

Biden has boasted on the campaign trail he would come after citizens’ firearms. He promised to put extremist anti-gunner Beto O’Rourke in charge of his administration’s gun control policies. He wants to ban whole classes of firearms and turn a fundament right into a government-regulated privilege, Gottlieb explained.

“Donald Trump takes an opportunity during nearly every public appearance to declare his loyalty, not just his ‘support,’ to the Second Amendment,” Gottlieb stated. “And what has Joe Biden done? He’ been traveling the country bragging about how he wrote the Brady gun control law, and how he would take on the so-called gun lobby and push for radical restrictions on law-abiding gun owners.

“It is clear to us that Donald Trump knows the First Amendment protects the right of people to peaceably assemble,” he continued. “But unlike Biden, the president understands that the First Amendment does not protect looting, vandalism, arson and felony assault disguised as legitimate protest. President Trump hasn’t been contributing to a bail fund project to get these criminals out of jail, as have members of Biden’s campaign staff, while Biden, himself, would like to see these people released without bail.

Barrett Media Drobo:Branding:Logos:1-Primary:CMYK:BARRETT_Logo_CMYK_[Primary].jpg

MURFREESBORO, TENNESSEE – Barrett Firearms Manufacturing, Inc. is pleased to announce that it has partnered with Hornady Manufacturing to chamber the REC7 rifle series in the new 6mm ARC offering. The first production run of these rifles has already been delivered on time to the United States Department of Defense, fulfilling a contract that was awarded to Barrett late last year.

The combination of the proven REC7 DI gas system and the potent 6mm ARC cartridge creates a product that is consistently accurate and easy to shoot. Carrying 24 rounds in the magazine, the 108 gr. ELD Match bullets leave the 18” Proof Research match grade stainless steel or carbon fiber barrel at over 2630 fps. This easily gives the rifle supersonic capabilities past 1000 yards.

Barrett anticipates these rifles will be available to the US commercial market after all US Military deliveries have been completed. Read more

Hatsan’s Versatile Tactical Shotgun Line

Bentonville, AR – New for 2020, Hatsan is introducing its Versatile Tactical Shotgun (VTS) line of Escort shotguns. There are both conventional and bullpup configurations to suit all needs. The VTS series utilizes familiar controls and features found on the ever-popular modern sporting rifle. These similarities make transitioning from rifle to shotgun easier than ever before. Capable of firing both 2 ¾” and 3″ shells interchangeably, these shotguns are well-suited for a wide variety of applications.

The Escort DF12 is the premiere VTS series model, with both upper and lower receivers as well as the vented handguard crafted from tough aluminum alloy. It is available in both all-black and FDE Cerakote. It is available exclusively in 12-gauge. A hybrid aluminum/synthetic variant, the SDX, is also available and comes in both 12ga and .410cal. Its advanced polymer lower receiver features alloy guides inside the mag well that maintain its strength and ensure smooth, consistent magazine function. The ThermoDefend forend protects shooters’ hands from the heat generated during extended operation. One of the benefits to the VTS’ gas system is that a bullpup variant can be created that is just as tough and reliable as its counterparts. The BTS bullpup is also available in 12ga and .410cal, and is 9 inches shorter, making it easier to maneuver in tight environments.

The gas operated semi-automatic platform features a new gas piston design that is simpler and more compact than other shotgun systems. The piston floats around the barrel itself, not a secondary tube placed below the barrel. This improves efficiency and decreases the overall size and weight of the gun, making it more user-friendly. The in-line gas system also helps reduce muzzle rise, improving the speed at which follow-up shots can be taken. The standard models feature a buffer tube that houses the recoil spring and provides a mounting location for the shoulder stock. Read more

Savage Arms’ Minimalist Rifles

WESTFIELD, Massachusetts –– From the diminutive power of the Rascals, to the potential offered by the new Precision Series, Savage Arms knows rimfire. Now Savage is redefining rimfire style with Minimalist—a distinctly different stock design for the Mark II, 93 and 93R17 rifles.

Savage is pleased to introduce Minimalist, a distinctly different take on the classic rimfire design. Minimalist combines a laminate stock for lightweight strength with several additional features for excellent usability in the field. With its button rifled barrel and user-adjustable AccuTrigger, the bolt-action Minimalist delivers Savage accuracy. Minimalist rifles are offered in 22 LR, 22 WMR, and 17 HMR.

“Minimalist takes Savage rimfire in a new direction,” said Beth Shimanski, Director of Marketing for Savage. “The laminated stocks are ideal for older youth and adult shooters, yet the rifle weighs only 5.68 pounds. If you’re looking for a new option for plinking or hunting small game, Minimalist delivers.”

Above Minimalist’s carbon steel action, a Weaver-style base is pre-installed. Make the most of cost-effective rimfire rounds by topping these bolt-actions with a scope or red-dot and the rifle will be ready for the range.
