The 357 Magnum and the 44 Magnum ammo are two of the most iconic rounds in American history. Developed for similar reasons by the same individual, it's no wonder why these rounds have many similarities. But they aren't without important differences – foremost among them being their power. |

The 45 Automatic Colt Pistol (ACP) and 44 Magnum are two powerful handgun rounds that are rarely compared. Although the bullet that each cartridge fires is separated by only a few hundredths of an inch, the terminal ballistics of the 45 ACP and 44 Mag are considerably different from one another. |

Earlier this year, the U.S. Supreme Court decided to hear two cases, Viramontes v. Cook County(IL) and Grant v. Higgins (CT), and will ultimately decide whether semi-automatic rifles are protected by the Second Amendment. Sportsmen’s Alliance Foundation will be filing a “friend of the court” brief to argue that semi-automatic bans hurt sportsmen, and asking the court to strike them as unconstitutional. |

On the morning of April 10, 1986, the U.S. House of Representatives chamber buzzed with exhaustion and political scheming. Lawmakers had been debating the Firearms Owners’ Protection Act (FOPA), a bill long championed by the National Rifle Association (NRA) as a corrective to decades of alleged Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF) overreach. The legislation promised to ease interstate gun sales, protect travelers carrying guns across state lines, narrow the definition of who needed a dealer’s license, and raise the bar for prosecuting technical violations from “knowing” to “willful.” It was set to pass overwhelmingly. |

TO REMEMBER |
| [The American Colonies were] all democratic governments, where the power is in the hands of the people and where there is not the least difficulty or jealousy about putting arms into the hands of every man in the country. [European countries should not] be ignorant of the strength and the force of such a form of government and how strenuously and almost wonderfully people living under one have sometimes exerted themselves in defence of their rights and liberties and how fatally it has ended with many a man and many a state who have entered into quarrels, wars and contests with them. — George Mason, "Remarks on Annual Elections for the Fairfax Independent Company" in The Papers of George Mason, 1725-1792, ed Robert A. Rutland (Chapel Hill, 1970). |
