Anti-gunners who voted for Hillary Rodham Clinton expecting her to hammer the Second Amendment community should be rejoicing that their candidate lost and Donald Trump is in the Oval Office.

After all, thats sort of the message one takes away from a Fortune article that reported Monday a sales slump in firearms, and gave credit to Trumps electoral victory in 2016. But it may only seem that way to anti-gunners, because the Trump presidency just might make turn their anti-gun dream into a nightmare.

Third story- Do you have a gun nearby? You and your family are home in bed. You hear a strange noise. Your wife calls the police while you get your gun and check on your children. There is a man with a gun at your back door.

Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke is leading a revival. Its not the kind that occurs under a big tent full of folding chairs, fiery sermons and hallelujahs, but the kind that occurs when hunters, fishermen and outdoorsmen in general feel liberated from the shackles of an overbearing federal government; when they experience anew the freedom to take their guns and gear into Americas wild places and fish and hunt the way their fathers and grandfathers fished and hunted before them.

When I was growing up, I viewed gunsall gunswith an equal degree of awe and enthusiasm. One such rifle that turned my extremely impressionable 7-year-old head was the Armalite AR-7 Explorer survival rifle. Perhaps one of the most well-known survival rifles ever created, the AR-7 was originally designed by M16-creator Eugene Stoner, and has seen service with U.S. Air Force pilots and aircrewmen as a survival rifle since 1959. With its hollow stock and takedown capability, for me it was puppy love at first sight.

SIG Sauer has taken multiple runs at the polymer-handgun market. Its first attempt at a polymer-framed pistol, the SIGPro, was not an overwhelming success on the U.S. commercial handgun scene. While the SP2022 variant enjoyed some large overseas contract sales, the conventional DA/SA action was out of fashion in the late 1990s and early 2000s, with one trigger pull being an advertising buzzword used by the competition.

But when an arbitration panel ruled last month that biology teacher Greg Schiller should get that money back, he and his many supporters saw a much greater victory. They view the resolution in Schillers favor as overdue vindication for an instructor who just wanted to teach science, but whose efforts fell victim to ignorance, overreaction and bureaucratic one-size-fits-all, by-the-rules stubbornness.
