ATF Bans Ammo!
For years US ammunition importers were able to import surplus 5.45x39 Russian ammo (as seen in the picture to right).
The 5.45x39 was designed/mfg. during the Cold War by Russia as an answer to the .223/5.56 x 45 (M4/AR-15) round. …
Firearms, California’s Microstamping Controversy
I felt this was worth sharing from a great patriot, Tom Gresham, and the folks at Gun Talk Radio. This could be devastating if other states begin to adopt this requirement for firearms:
Microstamping Controversy - This…
No Guns Means Safer Citizens
I am always a bit puzzled when I walk towards the front door of a business and there on the door I see that little sign stuck to the window stating that this establishment does not allow guns inside their premises (even legally carried…
Ithaca Gun Company, an American Tradition Reborn
In a time when just about every US manufacturer is outsourcing jobs overseas, it is encouraging to see US companies employing craftsman like the ones who helped make America great. We have all seen the decline in quality of many of the…
Bow Hunters and Fisherman Unanimously Support Obamacare

Tavor Rifle Review (Part 2) RAPID FIRE
I did the first part of my review on the new IWI Tavor a few weeks ago and was very impressed with its all around functionality, feel, and accuracy. However, this weekend's test was to see how the Tavor handles rapid fire situations. …
Joe & Mr. Ags go to a Gun Buyback Program
On Saturday, June 8th, the City of Toledo, along with the Mayor's Coalition of Hope, sponsored a cash-for-firearms program at People's Missionary Baptist Church in Toledo, OH. So, what better way for Joe and Mr. Ags to spend a sunny…
Glock vs Springfield XD, A Personal Decision
Up until a few years ago, I was an old school gun thinking kind of guy. My handguns were all metal framed and most were of a caliber starting with the number 4. My enlightenment came when doing some research for a good gun to keep around…
Today Will Be the Last Day of My Husband’s Life …
Ben and I have been married for 1 year, 4 months and 2 days. Ben has just 16.5 hours left here on this earth with me. Sixteen and a half hours of time and we have no idea the end is coming … The clock is ticking.
So my friend, Nikki…
The Tavor, The Rifle of the Chosen People (Part 1)
While I was at Shot Show in Vegas this year with Joe my senses were overwhelmed with the full magnitude of the event. Every firearm's manufacturer you could imagine was there. However, when I have attended these types of events in the…
Guns, as American as Baseball and Apple Pie.
Not in Bedford, Michigan apparently. It all started when Todd Bruning (owner of Todd's Guns in Lambertville, Michigan) decide to sponsor his two son's baseball team, the Cubs (an age 6-8 team in the 3B Baseball league in southern…
Can America be Saved?
To the “logical” mind, regardless of your party affiliation, one would have a hard time agreeing that fewer Americans paying the way of those who are lower-income or do not pay income tax at all and a government doing everything it can…
Stop Buying Guns & Ammo!!! (Part 2)
It appears I touched on a topic a lot of our readers can relate to. If confetti were emails, my inbox looked like the aftermath of a New Year’s Eve party. Dave who works at Gander Mountain told me that as soon as they get a truck in…
Stop Buying Guns & Ammo!!!
Seriously, stop it. I went to a gun show this past weekend in Michigan and almost shat myself when I saw the price that people were selling ammunition. $65 for a crappy box of 525 rounds of Federal 22lr and a dollar a shot for basic…
Springfield XDs 45, A lot of Power in a Small Package
I remember at the 2012 NRA Show in St. Louis I first saw the then new Springfield XDs 45. With more and more states adopting concealed carry, handgun manufactures have been reinventing designs and pushing the limits with calibers not…
Let’s Amend The 2nd Amendment
I have to agree with the Lefties (sort of). I think it is time we amend the 2nd Amendment. For over 230 years the 2nd Amendment has been in effect protecting its citizens from the hands of those who would seek to deprive us of the Liberty…
SCCY Industries, a 9mm Worth More Than Its Price Tag
In mid-2012 I was bored and on one of my favorite websites (www.aimsurplus.com). I am always curious to see what is new out there in the industry and Aim usually delivers. I was scanning through the new handguns they had in stock and…
Women Can’t Operate a Semi-Automatic Handgun
The statement that women can't operate a semi-automatic has either been made directly to me, or I have heard it in side conversations many times over the years. However, lately it has come up in increasing frequency. This is mainly…
Black Guns, Will they be Banned?
With the start of 2013 and the discussion of more intrusive guns laws as the main topic of every media outlet and local gun shop, your investment portfolio of 2012 should have included several black guns (code for military-type…
What Is the Best Handgun for Home Defense/Carry?
Mr. Ags, gets asked this question quite often, especially lately by people who have never shot before. My answer to this question used to be, “What can you shoot accurately?” However, I've modified my answer over the years. The reason…
Guns, Video Games, Entertainment, and the American Family
Inevitably after every recent gun-related massacre (not “shooting,” let’s call it what it really is) by someone under the age of 30, the media focuses on the killer’s gun(s) they used, what video games they played, the entertainment they…
38 Elementary School Students dead. We need new gun laws, NOW!
It seems every time another senseless murder happens at the hands of a madman wielding a high-capacity firearm I am left saddened and angry. When will we as a county learn? There is no need for these types of weapons to be available to the…
Why Do We have the 2nd Amendment?
This week I learned many new facts about the history of the 2nd Amendment from our elected officials and the media. My favorite “fact” has to be that the Founding Fathers intended the 2nd Amendment to only allow their lowly citizens to be…
Dianne Feinstien, Is It Time to Start Discussing Term Limits Yet???
Well, we all knew it was coming, Sen. Dianne Feinstein's (D-CA, AKA the ghost of Ted Kennedy in drag) amazing bill that will end gun violence in America. Many images flood my mind when I think of the Senator from California: sexiest woman…
United We Stand
You won’t read about it in the mainstream media, but there has been a major victory for proponents of the Second Amendment this week. In the face of potential financial ruin, a group of business people along with the NRA and other…
Shot Show 2013 Recap
I just returned from Las Vegas after being there for the past week attending the annual Shot Show with Joe Wurzelbacher and some other very close friends of mine. Every manufacture that has some connection to the shooting industry was…
