Czeching All the Boxes
Colt CZ Group SE is a joint stock company organized under the laws of the Czech Republic, according to SEC filings. This offer follows one made in October by a manufacturer called the Czechoslovak Group (CSG). [More]
I’m wondering what effect the Czech’s “tireless support [for] the Arm Trade Treaty” will have on import/export should the international community turn up the heat, and if some things aren’t best left to American interests.

I wonder if you compared all ammo sold by Lake City to the civilian market to the number of those rounds used in acts of violence what the abuse rate would be, and how many “0s” would follow the “.” to come up with a percentage…

The Treasonous Democrat Pieces of S*** in Congress Who Don’t Want to Let You Have Ammo Act of 2023
Today, Congressman Robert Garcia (CA-42), Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), and Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman-Schultz (FL-25) introduced the “Ammunition Modernization and Monitoring Oversight (AMMO) Act,” which would restrict bulk sales of ammunition, would require businesses who sell ammunition to obtain the same federal license as gun dealers, and would require businesses to conduct a background check on buyers.

“3% chance of being enacted” by the Senate and “1%” by the House. So be aware this is one increment they’ll try for if the GOP blows ’24, but for now, there are more pressing priorities.

Weasel Wording with Winchester II
WarOnGuns Correspondent Mike F writes:
I contacted Winchester Customer Support and got the same response that the other gentleman received.
Based on the number of gun owners contacting them, that is, a handful, they feel they can ignore inquiries. That tells us something about their management. It also tells us about something else.
It’s nice to know they’re not all like that.

The Great Lake City Panic of ’23
will you be making a statement alerting your civilian customers that their government has cornered the output from lake city? the people who kept you profitable during peacetime deserve the chance to prepare before the rug is pulled [More]
Is somebody trolling? Is somebody hiding something? Did online speculation cause plans to be reconsidered?
Enquiring minds want to know. I’d suggest thousands of us contact Winchester but “experience hath shown” that maybe three people actually would…

Just the Ammo They Need
The State does not dispute that California’s unworkable ammunition purchasing laws have stopped thousands of people who are legally eligible to buy ammunition from buying it. But, amazingly, the State is now arguing that the case should not move forward because CRPA does not have legal “standing” to challenge the law because its members have not themselves encountered these problems. That’s nonsense, of course. But to assist CRPA in demonstrating how the law continues to block eligible people, particularly CRPA members, from buying ammunition, CRPA needs declarations from members and supporters evidencing any problems you have recently faced when trying to buy ammunition. [More]
Give them all the ammunition they need to blow this case wide open.
Look for the Union Label
Received via email:
From one of the ammo sellers that I’ve used in the past. Not enough problems in America. UPS going on strike.
We now ship UPS and Fedex! Feel free to pick your favorite carrier in checkout. In the event that the Teamsters and UPS have not resolved labor negotiations by Monday the 24th and it appears that a strike is very likely come August 1st, we will remove UPS as a shipping option on the 24th until a resolution is in place. During that time frame, FedEx will be the only carrier option, and FedEx will probably choose to limit the amount of packages they can accept from us so they can maintain a reasonable level of service quality. In response to that, we may impose minimum $ orders, limits or restrict availability to a handful of full case options, in attempt to maximize revenue within the limitations of what volume we are allowed to ship FedEx. The possibility also exists that we will completely stop taking orders temporarily or at select times. All of these reactions will be temporary as we attempt to navigate the situation in a way that minimizes the harm a strike would do to our business. I would recommend that if you are on the fence about making a purchase, that you do it as soon as possible so that we can ship the package and have it delivered before a strike occurs as it is likely to be a chaotic period for FedEx and commerce in general.
Herschel comments:
This will affect not only ammo purchases, but gun parts, tactical lights, gun cleaning equipment, reloading equipment, and anything else you get delivered…
