CCRKBA: Bloomberg’s “Leveraged Buyout” of the 2A Continues

BELLEVUE, WA – Anti-gun billionaire Michael Bloomberg is continuing what appears to be an attempted “leveraged buyout” of the Second Amendment as Everytown for Gun Safety—the group he co-founded and bankrolled—has pledged to spend $8 million in Texas; just part of the $60 million that group has vowed to spend in order to elect anti-rights politicians this fall.

That’s the observation from the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms. Former New York City Mayor Bloomberg, seeking to buy his way into the White House by running for president as a Democrat, has weaponized his vast wealth to buy an election. But CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb is reminding Bloomberg that the U.S. Constitution is not for sale.

“Michael Bloomberg is spending a fortune on his Johnny-come-lately presidential campaign,” Gottlieb said, “but the one prize he really seems to want—a chance to turn America into his kingdom—will prove to be beyond even his financial reach. He’s tried to tell us what to eat, he’s tried to tell us how much soda we can drink and he has been unrelenting in his crusade to erase the Second Amendment from the Bill of Rights. Read more

CMP Rifle and Pistol Marksmanship 101 Schedule for 2020

By Ashley Brugnone, CMP Writer

Continuing its expansion of marksmanship safety and training around the country, the Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP) has again created a lineup of hands-on rifle and pistol learning opportunities for the public throughout the calendar year.

Marksmanship 101, formerly known as the Small Arms Firing School (SAFS) On The Road, is designed to train beginners on rifle or pistol essentials and competition basics in a closely monitored setting, utilizing the talents of qualified CMP staff, trainers and members of the U.S. Army Marksmanship Unit. Participants learn through classroom discussion and active training on the range. Near the conclusion of training, students apply all they have learned in a true M16 rifle or M9 pistol match, fired under close supervision of trainers on the line.

No previous knowledge in marksmanship is required for the course, with all experience levels welcome to attend. Rifles and ammo are provided. Personal shooting jackets and gloves are permitted. Hearing protection and eye protection is also required. Read more

Michigan: ice conditions may prompt early removal of fishing shanties

The Michigan Department of Natural Resources reminds anglers that changing ice conditions could require removal of fishing shanties before required removal dates. This is a possibility every year, as all shanties must be removed once ice can no longer safely support them.

People venturing onto the ice should use extreme caution as temperatures begin to rise or fluctuate. The repeated thawing and refreezing of ice weakens its integrity, decreasing its ability to support additional weight of people, snowmobiles, ORVs and shanties. Deteriorating ice, water currents and high winds increase the probability of pressure cracks, which can leave anglers and others stranded on ice floes or at risk of falling through the ice.

Ruger Reports Significantly Reduced 2019 Earnings, Confirms Industry Slowdown

Ruger’s earnings report yesterday erased any doubt that the firearms industry has slowed. For 2019, the company reported net sales of $410.5 million and diluted earnings of $1.82 per share. 2018 net sales were $495.6 million and diluted earnings were $1.06 per share higher at $2.88 per share. Ruger CEO Chris Killoy described 2019 as “challenging for the firearms industry as manufacturing overcapacity, excess inventories at all levels of the channel, and a continued softness of demand led to a marketplace saddled with undisciplined discounting, reckless extension of payment terms, and excessive promotions. If left some distributors and manufacturers in its wake.”

Holosun HS407K and HS507K Micro Sights

City of Industry, CA – The most popular pistol models sold today are sub-compact, “pocket pistol” designs, leaving little room for accessories and optical sights. Additionally, a streamlined concealed carry approach holsters the pistol safely out of sight, while still enabling the armed citizen to draw quickly if needed. The lack of an electronic sight that is small, rugged, reliable and reasonably priced has meant that red dots are not often a consideration for concealed carry permit holders… until now.

Holosun’s new HS407K and HS507K micro sights solve these problems while allowing concealed carry pistol owners to couple their firearm with a highly effective sighting solution. While these units are compact, each offers a serious suite of features that rivals any full-sized sight on the market. Read more
