When we run into an entrenched, bureaucratic problem, the easiest way out is to find someone who has been through the maze. Even better is to find someone who has made it his mission to guide you through the maze. When it comes to buying suppressors, Brandon L. Maddox, founder of Silencer Central, is such a sage.

Is the Ruger Mini-14 accurate? This is a question that has dogged gun owners since the rifle first appeared on the market in 1973. Some say it’s got excellent accuracy, while others say it’s rubbish. Being the proud owner of a Mini-14, I wanted to find out.

The wadcutter is a very unique type of bullet, very much like a lead cylinder. Almost exclusively used to punch holes in paper with low pressure and lightly loaded cartridges, wadcutters don't change shape or become deformed when fired. They make scoring target sheets extremely easy because the round hole created is very defined compared to any other type of ammunition.

Former ESPN host J.A. Adande took heat after responding to a U.S. Appeals Court ruling by asking now “high capacity” magazines can be constitutionally protected since “they didn’t exist when the Second Amendment was written.” Adande was reacting to the August 14, 2012, ruling by a three-judge panel of the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. Breitbart News reported that the panel found California’s ban on “Large Capacity Magazines” unconstitutional.

For decades, the Democratic party has wanted to abrogate the Second Amendment, to ban the sale of guns of any and all calibers, sizes, shapes and potential uses. They have long sought to limit the amount of ammo per gun and were just foiled again on that score.

Between presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden’s calls for firearm confiscation and the draft Democratic Party Platform, the 2020 Democratic ticket was already shaping up to be the most anti-Second Amendment in history. With Biden’s, or his team of able-minded handlers’, choice of Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) for the vice presidential slot, the Biden campaign and the Democratic Party have cemented this ignominious distinction.

The Second Amendment has won a small victory in California, with the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals striking down as unconstitutional the state’s ban on so-called high-capacity magazines — which, as the court pointed out, is in practice a ban on most of the handgun and rifle magazines sold in the United States, because California defines “high capacity” as eleven rounds.

Joe Biden on Gun Control: Understanding Biden's 2020 Platform and the Second Amendment

The one-two punch of the Wuhan Coronavirus explosion, and the civil unrest of early 2020, led to an unprecedented growth in firearms ownership in America. All told, there were about two million firearms sold in the month of March 2020 alone. Between March and July, an additional three million were sold, with about half of those happening in the month of June.

Ammunition sales have similarly spiked, with record sales occurring on this website. However, gun owners don’t need a report to know that there has been a massive surge in demand for ammunition. They need only go down to their local gun store and see that all of the most common rounds are in short supply, sold out or being rationed at the point of sale.

It’s almost Fall ya’ll. The gray faced pointer eased over to my knee and requested an audience. With her chin resting there I looked into the eyes that seem to become more soulful with every passing day. “What’s on your mind?” I said, thinking how much I would miss her. Her expression was that of a teacher addressing a unwitting student. As clear as day her eyes said “You know it is almost fall.”
