Earlier this year, state legislators and Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo approved a law to ban “3D-printed guns.” Manufactured with high-tech plastic, 3D guns can evade metal detectors and also have been called ghost guns. But those have been far less of problem than the “80 percent” guns, King said.
This part really bothers me. How can the face of any firearms group actually believe that guns are out there that can evade metal detectors? I get some random uninformed person falling for that, but ANYONE who remotely understands how FIREarms work, would know that this is inaccurate. |

The increasingly-powerful and wealthy coalition of leftist anti-2A groups have determined that destroying the NRA is a required prerequisite to destroying the 2A altogether. They have determined that the world's most powerful gun rights group by far must be destroyed before they can remove the Second Amendment. So they are waging a highly-organized and successful war against it.
We should help them do that, right? amirite? and after that let's go concern ourselves with securing Syria's border next beyond that is a meeting to determine if we should support Trump or help our enemies overthrow him Every day I'm amazed at the Left's amazing success and the amount of shills and vast amount of fools and cowards among our side. The conservative, nationalist right will not win in the long-run, because we do not have the collective intelligence to do so. |

Has the NRA been infiltrated by leftists to any real degree? Nope. ps.

If the only thing that can save our god given rights is a profit driven group of hucksters like the NRA we are done anyway. I"ll gladly resume donating whey they clean out LaPew and co and stop negotiating rights away. The NRA has done a lot of good over the years but the idea that they are not a group based on compromise is not based in reality. But LaPew will drag the entire group down with him if that is what it takes and I think his decades of malfeasance is going to destroy the group in any event. |

The Barrett M82 was the result of a professional photographer building a new rifle in his garage with no formal training or past experience in firearms.
It’s always interesting to learn what inspired a successful entrepreneur. For Ronnie Barrett, the founder and CEO of Barrett, it was a river patrol boat in 1982 that featured two Browning .50-caliber machine guns. At that time, Barrett was a professional photographer whose assignment was to do a photo shoot of the boat to promote a particular firearms company.
While busy snapping a series of photographs, Barrett was wowed by the amazing Browning Ma Deuce. He wondered to himself if the incredible .50-caliber cartridge could be fired from a rifle; maybe one operated from the shooter’s shoulder. He decided to find out. With no manufacturing or engineering experience, Barrett hand-drew his idea for a .50-caliber, semi-automatic rifle in three-dimension to show how the rifle should function. There is much more to the story, but the results of his creative mind, artistic drawings and “can do attitude” led to the Barrett .50-caliber rifle that morphed into the Model 82A1 – M107. |

Don't know if this was posted previously, didn't see it on page 8, but here's a statement from the NYSRPA facebook page. Take it for what it's worth.
Ladies and Gentlemen, There’s been an article written chastising me for supposedly agreeing with NYS Legislators in their bid to ban 80% lower receivers. That article is wrong.To be clear: I do not support the banning of 80% lowers or any other firearm. Never have. Never will. The quotes in question came from a thirty-minute Newsday interview that I conducted more than a month ago. Of course, only a couple of sentences were used from that 30 minute conversation. I referenced a case in New York State where someone was illegally manufacturing, assembling and selling firearms – including full autos. As you know, those are illegal acts. I do not condone anyone intentionally breaking the law as I believe that only helps our opposition. So, let me set the record straight. I oppose all registration and believe all lawful gun owners have the right to own the firearm of his or her choice whenever and where ever they choose. I believe ours is a country based on common law and the way to challenge laws we consider unconstitutional is in the voting booths and the courts, as we are doing in our U.S. Supreme Court case NYSRPA v. NYC and our Second Circuit Court of Appeals Case NYSRPA v. Beach, Cuomo et.al. We will win the battle! In closing I would like to thank those who gave me the benefit of the doubt and called me for an explanation. I’ve spent twenty years fighting for your rights and I’m not going to throw those years away by kicking the Second Amendment under the bus at this late date. Thank you for taking the time to read this missive. Tom King NYSRPA |

I oppose all registration and believe all lawful gun owners have the right to own the firearm of his or her choice whenever and where ever they choose. I believe ours is a country based on common law and the way to challenge laws we consider unconstitutional is in the voting booths and the courts, as we are doing in our U.S. Supreme Court case NYSRPA v. NYC and our Second Circuit Court of Appeals Case NYSRPA v. Beach, Cuomo et.al. We will win the battle! In closing I would like to thank those who gave me the benefit of the doubt and called me for an explanation. I've spent twenty years fighting for your rights and I'm not going to throw those years away by kicking the Second Amendment under the bus at this late date. Thank you for taking the time to read this missive. Tom King NYSRPA |
