According to reports from Capitol Hill, the Democrat-controlled U.S. House of Representatives plans to vote on two gun control bills as early as next week. The first bill, so-called universal background check legislation, would criminalize the private transfer of firearms. The second bill, sometimes inaccurately described as legislation to close the Charleston loophole, would undermine the Second Amendment right by permitting the federal government to delay a firearm transfer indefinitely without proof that the transferee is prohibited from possessing firearms.

Im sitting in a tripod stand in a copse of live oaks aptly named Pig Ridge. Its a fine-looking spot for swine, with a dry creek bed to the rear, and a tangle of hostile Texas brush ahead. An hour before dark, the black forms of two boarsperhaps 100 pounds apieceflash through the thicket. Weve scattered a gallon-size Ziploc bags worth of corn on the ground within bow range, and after some positioning and grunting about, one of the hogs makes the fatal mistake of quartering slightly away from me. I settle my 20-yard pin and let fly, and that pig dies within sight.

The string of monthly record-high gun numbers slowed in February as gun shops increasingly had empty cases and gun buyers fought bad winter weather.
