The Truth Behind the “Change”

At an appearance in Nevada, gun-ban presidential candidate Barack Obama told his followers:
| “I need you to go out and talk to your friends and talk to your neighbors. I want to you to talk to them whether they are independent or whether they are Republican. I want you to argue with them and get in their face. And if they tell you that, ‘Well, we’re not sure where he stands on guns,’ I want you to say, ‘He believes in the Second Amendment.’” |
Obama’s voting record, however, tells an entirely different story. Far from being a supporter of the Second Amendment, Barack Obama has done everything in his power to limit and outright destroy the rights of American gun owners. NRA’s Political Victory Fund (NRA-PVF) has designed a new, comprehensive, and very informative Web site - www.GunBaNObama.com - to serve as a resource for the facts on Barack Obama’s Second Amendment stance.
The mere mention of Barack Obama’s name is enough to convince gun owners across the country to join the only organization that reliably defends their rights – the NRA. This year perhaps more than any other in history, we need each and every person to take action to help save our rights.

New Equipment Exchange Beta Release

|
|
In an effort to provide a thorough test for the new Equipment Exchange, we have made a beta release publicly available. We have released it during a final development cycle so that you can provide feedback and suggestions, thereby shaping it's development and evolution.
This means there will be some functionality that is not complete, there may be bugs that have yet to creep up, and there may be ideas that we have not yet thought of. We look to the AR15.com community for your input, understanding, and patience during this effort. The existing EE will continue to operate during this trial, and you are welcome to post in either or both.
We invite you all to try it out, tell us what you think, and even how you would improve it. The more we use it, the more we can test it and find flaws with the operation or logic behind it, and the better we can make it. We have created a new forum for any and all discussions regarding this project at the URL below.

 $50.00 ArmaLite Economic Stimulus Program
November 14, 2008
ArmaLite has created the ArmaLite Economic Stimulus Package in reaction to the current economy, and to the high demand for high capacity firearms, by releasing a special allotment of AR-24 and AR-24k pistols featuring a $50 dollar Economic Stimulus Package. The pistols are available in both standard grade and Combat Custom models featuring finely checkered frames and adjustable sights. The same pistols are available with 10 round magazines for our friends in those states that limit magazine capacity. Pistols available at a retail price for the Standard versions are $499.99 and Custom Combats for $581.
The AR-24 is a 9mm pistol and is noted for its fine machine work, forged steel construction, and great fit to the hand. This isn't a coffee-cup pistol made of plastic, but a classic handgun of steel.
Supplies are limited, and will be honored on a first-come-first-served basis.

Perhaps to help offset the election results, however so slightly, a bit of good news on the 2008 Special Edition Black Rifles. The first batch are on their way to us and will ship from us this coming week (week of 11/10). Those that have not yet placed their orders should do so asap as we're putting together the second batch now.
For those that are not familiar with this year's offering, together with Spike's Tactical, we put together a couple of dedicated .22LR uppers. These are specially marked, and custom built for AR15.com. The two models include a Lothar Walther .22LR barrel for accuracy, one in an M4 configuration, and one complete with a free-floating Daniel Defense Rail and specially marked Troy BUIS. Both are available with or without a complete and matching custom lower.
In addition, we received the custom Black Dog Machine magazines this week, and they came out great. Those that purchase the SEBR get a special price on their magazines, so stock up now.
Those that haven't purchased an SEBR, hurry before it's too late! SOLD OUT!

Do You Value Your Gun Rights?
|

America is facing a critical point in our history. The election for President of the United States is not about selecting a leader to keep us on a set path, but to recover from many major problems this country is currently facing. It is about selecting a leader who will provide us with national security. It is about selecting a leader who will bring better support to our soldiers and their families. It is about selecting a leader who will defend our Constitutional rights and not leave us defenseless and unable to protect our loved ones and communities. This election is a fight to preserve the American way of life. We must select a leader who is capable of living up to a higher standard.
If you value your Second Amendment rights, you must be aware that the Democrats are aiming to take them from you. This is from their 2008 Democratic Platform Report (DNC 08-13-08):
| We recognize that the right to bear arms is an important part of the American tradition, and we will preserve Americans’ Second Amendment right to own and use firearms. We believe that the right to own firearms is subject to reasonable regulation, but we know that what works in Chicago may not work in Cheyenne. We can work together to enact and enforce commonsense laws and improvements – like closing the gun show loophole, improving our background check system, and reinstating the assault weapons ban, so that guns do not fall into the hands of terrorists or criminals. Acting responsibly and with respect for differing views on this issue, we can both protect the constitutional right to bear arms and keep our communities and our children safe. |
As you can see their primary focus is to remove firearms they deem as "assault weapons" which will be anchored by the revised Clinton Gun Ban with more clear wording to address everything from black riles to handguns to hunting ("sniper") rifles. It's time to take a stand before we are left defenseless, something our forefathers gave their lives to prevent.

Bushmaster Presents $10,000 for Junior Shooter Support

June 18, 2008
Windham, Maine -- Bushmaster Firearms International, LLC (BFI) recently made a $10,000.00 contribution to the CMP National Matches Junior Highpower Support Fund. A formal check presentation ceremony took place at Camp Butner, North Carolina during the Eastern CMP Games and Creedmoor Cup Matches. The check represents the proceeds from a special series of Bushmaster DCM-XR competition rifles that were produced to commemorate the 100th Anniversary of the National Matches coming to Camp Perry, Ohio.
Jarrod McDevitt, Competition Program Coordinator at Bushmaster, presented the check. Bushmaster produced and began marketing the special DCM-XR rifle during the 2007 National Matches at Camp Perry, and committed to donating $100.00 from each rifle sale to the CMP National Matches Junior Highpower Support Fund. The Support Fund provides financial assistance to partially offset the costs of travel, accommodations and entry fees for juniors competing in the CMP service rifle matches at Camp Perry. In 2007, this fund provided nearly $25,000.00 in support for junior highpower shooters to help make it possible for them to attend the National Matches.
Chad Brooks, CEO said, "We were very pleased to work with CMP on a special project like this. Knowing that the proceeds benefit Jr. Shooters made it all worth it. Our commitment to youth programs will only grow. Bushmaster realizes the importance of teaching firearm safety and marksmanship training to all age groups and will always do its part in supporting that."
DCM-XR Competition rifles produced were serialized with numbers "1 of 100" through "100 of 100." A logo commemorating the Camp Perry Centennial and the CMP was laser engraved on the magazine well. Number one of this series of rifles was used by Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Army John McLaurin to fire the ceremonial first shot of the 2007 National Matches First Shot Ceremony.
Bushmaster Firearms International, LLC (BFI) also recently donated award rifles to the CMP Eastern Games & Creedmoor Cup at Camp Butner, NC held May 3-11.
CMP Eastern Games award rifle winner was Michael O'Neil with a score of 374-13X in the CMP EIC Match. Michael received an award certificate for a Bushmaster DCM-XR Series Rifle.
Two other Bushmaster DCM-XR rifles were awarded to the Overall Champion and the Jr. Champion of the Eastern Creedmoor Cup Match. The Overall Winner was SFC Grant Singley USA with a score of 790-31X, and the Junior Champion was Jason Case with a score of 784-30X.
Bushmaster Competition Program Coordinator Jarrod McDevitt stated, "This year's event was definitely one to remember. Our newly formed Bushmaster Rifle Team held a clinic on May 7th with the Army Marksmanship Unit and USMC Shooting Team. The quality of instruction given was unlike any ever offered. We had active duty AMU and USMC shooters, a retired Distinguished AMU National Champion, a retired Master Gunnery Sergeant USMC double distinguished instructor, and other National Champions on hand providing instruction."
Bushmaster would like to congratulate our award winners and give "Special Thanks" to the Army Marksmanship Unit and the US Marine Corp Shooting Team for providing excellent assistance with this year's clinic.
