The idea that keeping a magazine loaded will “wear out” the spring is a common misconception. The real wear and tear on magazine springs comes from cycling — loading and unloading rounds repeatedly. Springs in quality magazines are designed to stay under compression for extended periods without losing their strength. Personally I keep some magazines…

Unsatisfied with the ruling, the DOJ immediately filed a motion to limit the scope of the injunction to only the named individual plaintiffs and to members of SAF and its partner organizations who were members when the complaint was originally filed and who have been identified and verified. That, of course, prompted both the Firearms…

According to lawmakers who spoke with Crump, a lobbyist allegedly pressured legislators to oppose the bill while implying he was acting on behalf of the NRA. I was looking at NRA-ILA, and could find no mention of the W. VA machine gun bill. Nothing. And when I search the main NRA website, However, when Crump…

There’s now proof of an actual bylaw change and it came from the Foundation’s filing(s). There’s also a public record of the original 1990 bylaws and the 2024 amended bylaws. As for the why? Currently there’s no direct and/or concrete answer as to why the Foundation trustees decided to cut the Board of Directors of…

United States, could be headed to the U.S. Supreme Court after the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that “firearm accessories” such as suppressors are not protected by the Second Amendment. And the Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) has thrown its whole-hearted support behind the plaintiffs, who, on March 9, filed…

An imam told worshippers at a Twin Cities mosque that Muslims are the “replacement” for those who once held positions of privilege in America, declaring during a sermon that “this is our moment.” He’s not wrong.
