In 1964, Marlin Firearms and Remington Arms joined forces to develop a cartridge that filled the gap created by the lack of lever action rifles chambered in .45-70. The result was the .444 Marlin, which was chambered in the acclaimed Model 336 lever action rifle. To develop the cartridge, designers from Marlin and Remington started with a .44 Magnum case, lengthened it by nearly an inch and capped it with a jacketed soft point bullet weighing 240 grains. The bullet actually has a diameter of 0.429 inches, the same as a .44 Magnum bullet. But similarities to the .44 Magnum end there, as the performance of the .444 Marlin is on another level entirely. |

Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem’s office has declined to give an opinion as to whether Ward County has the legal authority to declare itself a Second Amendment sanctuary, or to ban mandates relating to COVID-19. In the statement, Stenehjem’s office said: “There are some situations that are unsuited for an attorney general opinion, including when the question calls for interpreting a local ordinance or charter, and when the question should be, or already has been, addressed by the political subdivision’s legal adviser.”

Further, the legislation provides legal recourse for people who experience unjust infringements.

As the Nov, 3 date for oral arguments in the case of New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen looms, Reason magazine is highlighting one of the many amicus briefs filed in support of the case, not only because it comes from “a coalition of public defense lawyer organizations,” but because it cuts to the bone of racial and ethnic discrimination at the root of New York’s firearm licensing requirements.

The quest for meat for many West Virginia hunters starts this week. The first of several antlerless deer seasons will open Thursday in 51 of the state’s 55 counties. This is the first of the split seasons which is considered the traditional antlerless hunting season. Brett Skelly, Assistant Deer Project Leader at the West Virginia Davison of Natural Resources, said the October antlerless hunt is generally the more popular of all of them. |

For 13 years, Ruger produced an inexpensive yet elegantly simple falling-block single-shot rifle, the Ruger No. 3. Based on the company's more aristocratic No. 1 under-lever John Farquharson-style single-shot rifle, except in a simpler "American" design that evoked memories of the old Sharps series from the late 19th century, the No. 3 was introduced in 1973.

The president of the Seattle Police Officer’s Guild (SPOG) could not have been blunter about the potential loss of manpower due to city and state vaccination mandates for government employees: “Be prepared to defend yourself and your family because it’s going to be a long time before a cop can get there. That’s not alarmist talk. That’s a reality.”
SPOG President Mike Solan, who does an online YouTube program called “Hold the Line,” made the remark during an interview with Seattle’s KIRO Eyewitness News, the local CBS affiliate. It came as Seattle police officers were facing a vaccination reporting requirement or face termination, a situation that appears to be happening around the country. |

Joe Biden nominated David Chipman, an anti-gun fanatic, to head the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (although, thankfully, he withdrew); Tracy Stone-Manning, an ecoterrorist to head the Bureau of Land Management; Kristen Clarke, an openly anti-White racist and anti-Semite, to lead the Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division; and Rear Admiral Ann Phillips (ret.), someone with zero shipping experience, to serve as the next U.S. Maritime Administration administrator. That's why it shouldn't come as any surprise that his nominee for solicitor general is a fanatical anti-gun activist who participated in the simultaneously abusive and farcical Mueller investigation. |

Harrisburg police and federal law enforcement agencies are cracking down on illegal gun buys known as "straw purchases." The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania were in Harrisburg Tuesday to announce a joint effort to target people who illegally buy and possess firearms. "Operation Scarecrow - Harrisburg" focuses on people who aren't allowed to have guns because of a prior felony conviction who use third parties to buy guns for them. |

Seeking blanks for my newly restored Berthier carbine, I discovered there were none to be found; those blanks probably hadn’t been commercially loaded since World War II. I suspect the national Berthier blank supply was wastefully dissipated in the decades following Hollywood’s various inferior remakes of Paramount Pictures’ 1939 original masterpiece, Beau Geste. Taking the “damned die hard” approach of the French Foreign Legionnaires, I vowed I would somehow find an economical way to load my own blanks! |

The San Diego County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday voted in favor of banning unregistered firearms and do-it-yourself gun assembly kits in an effort to get so-called "ghost guns" off the streets. In a 3-2 vote, the county leaders' decision green lights a measure introduced by Board of Supervisors Chair Nathan Fletcher and Supervisor Terra Lawson-Remer to prohibit guns and parts without serial numbers. It also includes the creation of community-based gun reduction programs and safe firearms storage.

When it comes to rifles, most people might ask, “What’s the big deal, really, whether it’s a left-hand action or a right-hand action? Can’t a lefty learn to run the more common platform?” Well, yes, but let’s take my family as an example. Both my parents are right-handed, and my sister and I are left-handed. All of dad’s guns had right-hand actions, and I dealt with it. Now, fast-forward a generation. My wife, Donna, is also left-handed (maybe that’s what I liked about her), but her son and both my daughters are all right-handed. |

Sometimes as I conjure up Google or check Fox News or the 7-day weather forecast on my smart phone, all while sitting in the Walmart parking lot, I wonder how we ever survived with phones that were only made to talk on. Then it hits me; we survived quite well, thank you very much. |

There’s got to be a locus for it on the human genome someplace. We simply haven’t found it yet. Some folks clearly just have the gun nerd gene. It really is tough to quantify. I have been into guns from my very earliest recollections. I’m not a violent guy and honestly don’t much care for hunting. However, the act of stroking a trigger and seeing something happen downrange will reliably get my juices flowing. This particularly curious genetic anomaly has taken me to some fascinating places. |

President Joe Biden's administration faces crises of its own making at the southern border, at the nation’s ports, in Afghanistan, with inflation, and in public health. That’s a lot. Making them worse is the tendency (amounting to an instinct) of top officials to disappear at the first sign of trouble and blame other people. As battle is joined (literally, not just metaphorically, in Afghanistan), they do not march to the sound of the guns but scuttle away. They are utterly unsuited to the jobs they occupy.
