Obama Administration Moves to Block the Sale of M1 Rifles to

Law-abiding Americans

State Department intimates that these historic relics may be melted

down.

Obama Blocking Return Of Surplus M1 Garands Rifles From Korea

Gun Owners of America

Washington, DC --(Ammoland.com)- Apparently, things are going so

well in the Middle East that the State Department now feels it can turn

its attention to banning the lawful possession of firearms by American

citizens.

In a little-noticed decision in March, the Obama administration reversed

an earlier decision and moved to block the importation of 857,470 lawful

M1 semi-automatics which were being sold by South Korea in an effort to

raise money for its military. According to Hillary Clinton’s State

Department, this action was taken because the M1′s “could potentially

be exploited… for illicit purposes.”

Even worse, a spokesman for the State Department left the impression

that the valuable historic relics could even be melted down, as Clinton’s

husband did during his administration. Suffice it to say that this is just

another reiteration of the same anti-gun political theater. And the cheers

coming from anti-gunners like Dennis Henigan of the Brady Campaign

are ample proof of that.

Possession of these guns by Americans is lawful. They are antiques of

historical interest, particularly for those who, unlike Clinton and her

husband, served this country honorably in America’s foreign wars. And

anyone wishing to acquire one would have to go through an Instant

Background Check as they would for all other firearms purchases.

If any American, going into the November elections, had any doubt that

Barack Obama and the Democratic Party leaders hate guns and have

contempt for the Second Amendment, this is proof.

Reps. John Boozman and Paul Broun are submitting a letter

to State Department Secretary Hillary Clinton — demanding

that this unlawful decision be reversed.

And we are working with several legislators to offer an amendment on

the next available legislative vehicle which would prohibit the

administration from blocking the importation – or even the destruction

– of these firearms. Please see the ACTION item and pre-written letter

below.

Have you recently renewed your GOA membership?

If you haven’t renewed your membership lately, then there’s a lot of

information that you could be missing. In our newsletters, GOA takes on

recent UN efforts to impose global gun control and has provided its

members with postcards to inundate their Senators in opposition to any

arms control treaties that would infringe upon our gun rights.

In fact, current members should be expecting another update on UN gun

control efforts that will be arriving in their mailboxes soon. We can’t

fight all our battles through email and that’s why we need you to be a

member of Gun Owners of America.

You can go to http://gunowners.org/ordergoamem.htm and join Gun

Owners of America for the cost of a box of ammunition. Get your friends

and family to sign up as well. You’ll be glad you did!

ACTION: Write your Representative and urge him or her to cosign the

Boozman/Broun letter which demands that the unlawful decision

against the M1s be reversed. You can go to the Gun Owners Legislative

Action Center at http://gunowners.org/activism.htm to send your

Representative the pre-written e-mail message below.

Dear Representative:

Please stand up for the Second Amendment in opposition to

the Obama administration’s anti-gun efforts to block the

importation of — or even destroy — over 850,000 legal,

historic M1 semi-automatic firearms.

Reps. John Boozman and Paul Broun are submitting a letter

to State Department Secretary Hillary Clinton protesting

this unlawful action.

I urge you in the strongest terms to cosign that letter with

Thank you.

GA Governor Signs Proclamation For 39Th Annual National

Hunting & Fishing Day

Come celebrate at an exciting event near you!

Georgia Department of Natural Resources

SOCIAL CIRCLE, Ga. --(Ammoland.com)- In celebration of the

passion for the outdoors that you share with 64 million other Americans,

the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, Wildlife Resources

Division encourages you to get out and participate in one of the many

FREE celebrations that will be held in honor of the 2010 National

Hunting and Fishing day.

Governor Sonny Perdue recently signed a proclamation in honor of the

conservation efforts led by America’s hunters and anglers, recognizing

Saturday, Sept. 25 as NHF Day in Georgia, noting the plans underway for

a statewide celebration.

Events that will be offered in Georgia include seven kids’ fishing events

and five Outdoor Adventure Days (activities will differ at each event –

but some highlights include archery and air rifle shooting, trout fishing,

hunting dog demonstrations, wildlife programs, exhibits and more).

These events are spread out across the whole state – meaning that one is

probably near you!

In addition to these events, a FREE fishing day is offered to all Georgia

residents on Saturday, Sept. 25, 2010. On this day, residents do NOT

need a fishing license or a trout license to fish on any public waters in the

state including lakes, streams, ponds and public fishing areas. In

addition, residents do not need to obtain a wildlife management area

And if you thought the day could not get better – it just did. Georgia

State Parks and Historic Sites are offering a FREE day on Sept. 25, 2010,

which means no parking or admission fees.

CHANCE TO WIN! As part of their partnership with National Hunting

and Fishing Day, Yamaha Motor Corp., U.S.A. has donated an all-new

2011 Grizzly 450 with Electric Power Steering (EPS) that one lucky

outdoorsman will win. The sweepstakes is being promoted at NHF Day

events nationwide, and anyone can enter to win by simply registering

online at www.yamahaoutdoors.com/nhfday through the end of

November.

The U.S. Congress and President Richard Nixon established National

Hunting and Fishing Day 39 years ago to recognize generations of

hunters and anglers for the time and money – more than a billion dollars

each year – they donate to wildlife conservation programs. According to

the proclamation signed by Governor Perdue, conserving the state’s

natural and wildlife resources is one of the most important

responsibilities for this and future generations, and the conservation

programs supported and financed by Georgia hunters and anglers have

benefited hundreds of wildlife species, including deer, wild turkeys, bald

eagles and songbirds for all Georgians to enjoy.

3 Pro-Hunting Bills Consideredby CA GovernorSEP 10, 2010 04:29P.M.

Immediate Action Needed: 3 Pro-Hunting Bills Considered by

CA. Governor

California Outdoor Heritage Alliance

SACRAMENTO, CA –-(Ammoland.com)- The California Outdoor

Heritage Alliance (COHA) is asking California hunters, as well as our 40-

plus member organizations, to contact the Governor’s office as soon as

possible in support of three separate pieces of state legislation.

The following COHA-sponsored bills received broad bipartisan support

within the State Legislature, and are currently awaiting consideration by

Governor Schwarzenegger:

• SB 1058 (Harman) would provide accountability and transparency

over the expenditure of hunting license tag/stamp monies to help

ensure that such monies are used for game species conservation

and public hunting purposes. The bill would create a single,

consolidated fiscal account for all big game tag monies, create an

advisory committee of sportsmen’s groups to review and provide

comment on proposed expenditures of hunting license tag/stamp

monies and facilitate greater nonprofit assistance with related

conservation projects. For a sample letter visit

www.outdoorheritage.org

• AB 1254 (Berryhill) would authorize the Department of Fish and

Game to temporarily suspend, as well as seek reimbursement of, a

County’s expenditure of Fish and Game (DFG) fine monies should

DFG find that the County is improperly spending such funds on

purposes unrelated to fish and wildlife conservation. The bill also

authorizes DFG to offer incentives (e.g. special hunting

opportunities) to hunter education instructors in order to recruit

and maintain a sufficient number of instructors statewide. For a

sample letter for a sample letter visit www.outdoorheritage.org

• AB 979 (Berryhill) would keep local governments from arbitrarily

banning or restricting hunting and fishing activities. This measure

August Sees 4.6% Jump In Firearm Sales From Same Period

One Year Ago

Buckeye Firearms Foundation

Ohio --(Ammoland.com)-

The FBI has released its National Instant Criminal Background Check

System (NICS) figures for August 2010. NSSF-adjusted figures (718,971)

show a 4.6 percent increase over August of last year (687,252).

The adjusted NICS data were derived by NSSF by subtracting out NICS

purpose-code permit checks used by several states such as Kentucky and

Utah for CCW permit application checks as well as checks on active CCW

permit databases.

Though not a direct correlation to firearms sales, the adjusted NICS data

provide a more accurate picture of current market conditions. Questions

concerning NSSF-adjusted NICS data should be directed to NSSF’s

research department at 203-426-1320 or [email protected].

In addition to other purposes, NICS is used to check transactions of

firearms sales and transfers on new and used handguns and long guns.

Hunters Contribute Billions To Conservation Efforts – Animal

Hunters nationwide have contributed more than $6.4 billion dollars to

wildlife conservation efforts.

Georgia Department of Natural Resources

SOCIAL CIRCLE, Ga. --(Ammoland.com)- The largest, most

successful wildlife conservation program in the world, the Federal

Wildlife Restoration Program, is fueled by hunters.

Over the past 70 years, hunters nationwide have contributed more than

$6.4 billion dollars to wildlife conservation efforts. In Georgia alone,

since 1939, hunters have contributed more than $137 million for wildlife

conservation in Georgia.

“The Federal Aid in Wildlife Restoration Program is the most

successful wildlife conservation program in the world and

serves as a financial cornerstone to the North American

Model of Wildlife Conservation. It benefits all wildlife

species, conserves and restores habitat and helps enhance

wildlife conservation through research,” said John W.

Bowers, Wildlife Resources Division Game Management

assistant chief.

“Through this program, America’s hunters continue to

provide the most substantial source of funding for wildlife

conservation and management in the United States.”

The program was established through the Pittman-Robertson Act in

1937. Through lobbying efforts in Congress, America’s hunters created

this act as a way to fund conservation and management of the nation’s

wildlife. Wildlife Restoration funds are accumulated from excise taxes on

firearms, ammunition and archery equipment. This excise tax is levied at

the manufacturer’s level, collected by the Federal government, and

distributed to state wildlife agencies to fund wildlife conservation and

management programs. The amount of money each state agency

annually receives is determined by the number of paid hunting licenses

and the land area of the state.

The Wildlife Resources Division uses Wildlife Restoration funds for

various types of programs, including restoring habitat and improving

wildlife populations, conducting research, monitoring wildlife

populations, operating more than one million acres of wildlife

management areas that benefit a diversity of wildlife species and provide

wildlife-related recreational opportunities, providing information to

landowners on how to manage their property for various species,

conducting hunter education classes and building and maintaining

public shooting ranges.

For more information on the Federal Wildlife Restoration Program, visit

the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service website at

http://www.fws.gov/southeast/federalaid/ . For more information on

wildlife management practices in Georgia, visit the Wildlife Resources

Division website at www.georgiawildlife.com , contact a local Game

Management office or call (770) 918-6416.

of Natural Resources’ Wildlife Resources Division reminds all deer

hunters, including big game license holders, honorary and lifetime

license holders, hunters under 16 years of age and landowners, to obtain

a new deer harvest record for the upcoming season.

Deer harvest records are required for any person hunting deer,

regardless of age, are free of charge and available at

www.gohuntgeorgia.com or at any retail license agent.

“A deer harvest record is good only for a single hunting

season because the bag limit is a season limit,” said John W.

Bowers, assistant chief of Game Management for the Wildlife

Resources Division.

Hunters must complete a deer harvest record before moving a deer from

the site of a kill, except when participating in a wildlife management area

or national wildlife refuge hunt that requires hunters to check out

harvested deer. Hunters may not possess or use multiple big game

licenses or deer harvest records and should keep harvest records with

hunting licenses.

“We appreciate the honesty, cooperation and support from

each hunter in respecting wildlife and the conservation

tradition by following game and fish laws. We encourage

hunters to police themselves by using the anonymous Turn In

Poachers (TIP) line (1-800-241-4113) to turn in individuals

who violate these laws,” said Bowers.

Georgia Archery Deer Hunting Season Opens September 11

Georgia Department of Natural Resources

SOCIAL CIRCLE, Ga. --(Ammoland.com)- Deer season is the most

popular time of the year for Georgia hunters, and this year archers get

first draw beginning Sat., Sept. 11. Last year, 107,792 archery hunters

harvested more than 54,000 deer.

Statewide archery season runs through Oct. 8, but special regulations

apply to archery-only counties and extended archery season areas.

Hunters should refer to the 2010-2011 Georgia Hunting Seasons and

Regulations guide available at www.gohuntgeorgia.com, at retail license

agents or any Department of Natural Resources’ Wildlife Resources

Division office.

Georgia is considered a top destination in the country for non-resident

hunters and continues to draw tens of thousands of hunters from across

the country each year. The state’s quality deer herd and the close to one

million available acres of public hunting land serve as the main appeal.

Georgia offers more than 90 state-operated wildlife management areas.

Many of these public lands offer specialty hunts, including primitive

weapons hunts, adult/child hunts and ladies-only hunts. Dates and

locations for these hunts are available in the 2010-2011 Georgia Hunting

Seasons and Regulations guide, and WMA maps are available at

www.gohuntgeorgia.com .

Hunters are allowed a season bag limit of ten antlerless deer and two

antlered deer (one of the two antlered deer must have a minimum of

four points, one inch or longer, on one side of the antlers). To pursue

deer in Georgia, hunters must have a valid hunting license, big game

Palm Pistol Completes 10,000 Round Endurance Testing

Palm Pistol Completes 10,000 Round Endurance Testing

Palm Pistol

MAPLEWOOD, NJ - -(AmmoLand.com)- Endurance testing of the

Palm Pistol prototype was completed in August, 2010.

The procedure consisted of firing 10,000 standard rounds and 100 proof

loads. Every 500 rounds, the gun was completely disassembled and

subjected to wet fluorescent magnetic particle inspection (MPI) by an

ASTM certified non-destructive testing laboratory.

The five structurally critical components (barrel, latch, receiver, barrel

pivot pin and latch pivot pin) all withstood the test and passed with “no

indications found.” Findings concluded the design was robust and

structurally safe. The next task is the drop test. There were some

functional/ergonomic issues that surfaced which will be addressed in the

production model.

We have started the process of obtaining production quotes from the

various manufacturing specialties such as investment casting, wire EDM,

plastics injection molding, stamping, etc.

We do not yet have an estimate on production start date or retail cost.

Palm Pistol Completes 10,000 Round Endurance Testing

Concurrently, we are exploring the development of a multi-projectile .38

special cartridge optimized for the Palm Pistol. This will be suitable for

other short barreled self-defense firearms such as Derringers and snub

nosed revolvers.

Matt Carmel President Constitution Arms

About:

The Palm Pistol is an ergonomically innovative single shot double action

only defensive firearm chambered in 9mm that may be fired using either

hand without regard to orientation of the stock. Suited for home defense,

concealed carry or as a backup gun. It is also ideal for seniors, disabled

or others who may have limited strength or manual dexterity. Using the

thumb instead of the index finger for firing, it significantly reduces

muzzle drift, one of the principal causes of inaccurate targeting. Point

and shoot couldn’t be easier. Visit: www.palmpistol.com

Rebuilt M1917 .45 RevolversSEP 10, 2010 11:13A.M.

Some WWII Gun Collectors Prefer Rebuilt M1917 .45

Revolvers

Gun Collecting: By John Kullman

Colt M1917 Revolver

FirearmsTruth.com

Michigan --(Ammoland.com)- The United States was the only major

combatant of WWI and WWII that issued handguns to non-

commissioned officers.

Most nations treated handguns as a symbol status to be handed out to

officers, not as a frontline battle weapon. The U.S. considered side arms

an important supplement to the trench fighting of the First World War.

The average combatant of the Great War carried a bolt-action rifle and

the use of a quick-firing pistol is easy to understand when it comes to

defending or assaulting trenches.

The standard military pistol at the time of the U.S.’s entry into WWI was

the M1911 .45 automatic. But because the country was woefully

unprepared to fight, a supplementary pistol was required that could be

more quickly manufactured. Colt redesigned its M1909 revolver and the

M1917 was born. The M1917 fired the same round as the M1911 and filled

the combat gaps that weren’t able to procure the more desirable M1911’s.

Colt produced 150,000 M1917s, with Smith & Wesson adding an

additional 153,000 M1917s to military stocks during the war.

After the war, the M1917 was retired and became part of the country’s

reserve stock. When the United Stated entered WWII, it was once again

and refurbished. Most were cleaned and the original blued metal was

parkerized. Most retained their walnut grips but a few were given plastic

grips. The arsenal performing the refurbishing work was stamped on the

frame.

Most refurbished M1917’s were used by the Military Police and as

training weapons, but nearly 21,000 made it to the various fronts. Many

WWII collectors prefer the refurbished M1917’s to the same model used

in WWI. Evidence of parkerization, buffing and arsenal initials indicates

a refurbished pistol. After WWII, the M1917 was retired and many were

sold to civilians.

Interview with Black Man with a Gun’s Kenn Blanchard

A fun loving, zombie shooting, Harley riding, inspirational Christian

pastor that encourages the American family on his podcast.

Listen to Kenn at www.UrbanShooterPodcast.com

Upper Marlboro, MD --(Ammoland.com)- Rev. Kenn Blanchard hosts

a listener supported variety show for all law abiding gun owners, air-soft,

air-gun, and paintball enthusiasts. The weekly podcast is produced by

the pastor of a Christian church in Washington, DC. He is also a former

US Marine, federal police officer and firearms trainer. On his show he

shares life lessons, and grassroots information with humor, guest

interviews, commentary, and gun reviews unlike anyone on the internet.

Why Urban Shooter?

“It’s called the urban shooter because it is focused on people

that shoot and live in or near a city or town, but all are

welcomed.”

Blanchard believes it might be a little tougher to enjoy your freedom in a

city so his show is when you might need a laugh to keep from crying or

sing a little song to keep your spirits up. You’ll get it all here from the

activist known internationally as the Black Man With A Gun.

Blanchard has worked as an self defense activist since 1991. He has lived

in Brazil and England. He has traveled to over fifteen countries. He has

lobbied the US Congress. He has testified in the state legislatures of

Virginia, Texas, South Carolina, Michigan, Maryland, and Wisconsin. He

has done commercials for TV against racist gun laws and been featured

in three documentaries. He has debated nationally known anti-second

amendment people on national television.

He is available for speaking engagements, personal consultations,

Ignorance, Apathy, & Emotion Destroying America’s Gun

Rights

By Jeff Knox

Volunteer and make a difference at GunVoter.org

FirearmsCoalition.org

Manassas, VA --(Ammoland.com)- By reading this column you prove

yourself to be an exception to the rule.

You are an exception because you are doing things that most people

don’t do or are not doing yet. First off, you are reading which is

becoming exceptional all by itself, but not only are you reading, you are

reading about politics and it’s still several weeks before a major election.

On top of that, you are reading about gun politics which most

people understand is all written by dangerous radicals and

extremists.

You are an exception because you care enough about our nation to seek

out information, study issues, learn about candidates, and cast an

educated vote.

A few days after the 2008 General Election I was exploring how

Americans research before casting their votes and I discovered a

surprising phenomenon. Looking at search data from the giant Google

internet search engine to see how often people searched for key phrases,

such as “Obama + gun control” in the days leading up to the election I

found, as expected, that search traffic increased dramatically as the

election drew closer. But the surprise was that the highest number of

searches on key issues − almost double the previous day’s count − did

not occur in the days before the election, but on the day after. The data

indicated that to a significant number of Americans, the major political

question is not, “What are we going to do?” but rather, “What have we

done?”

To see twice as many searches focused on critical issues the day after the

election, compared to the day before is troubling at best. I’d like to see

Larry Sabato or some other political science professor do some serious

research into this phenomenon and give us a better idea of what it’s all

about.

Until then, I want to put the less confusing findings of my research to

work. Search traffic for politicians’ names linked to key issues shows a

very slow and steady increase leading up to the first week of September −

Labor Day. After Labor Day there is a slight increase, but not the big

bounce that intuition might suggest. The search numbers don’t actually

begin to increase significantly until the two weeks or so before the

election and then they do so dramatically (sometimes doubling day-to-

day) right up through Election Day.

What this suggests is that, while we knew that most people

don’t think about politics until after Labor Day, there appears

to be an awful lot of folks who don’t look at politics until days

or even hours before voting.

This news is both good and bad for activists wishing to impact elections.

The bad news is that much of the hard work they do leading up to

Election Day may be wasted, or at least not very economical.

The good news is that activists can have a major impact on an election

right up to the last moment.

Pro Gun Volunteers Needed

When we launched www.GunVoter.org, in March of ’08, our vision for

the candidate-focused forum site relied on a “build it and they will come”

model. We hoped that if we created the space and let people know about

it, they would flesh it out by each sharing their own candidate research

for their corner of the country. So far that model hasn’t worked out

because it seems people are more interested in learning than teaching.

Even now, with over 2000 registered users and countless thousands

more visitors to the site, most of the hard data is posted by us, and we

don’t have the staff to keep up with it all. This year’s elections are too

important to wait for the users to drive the information so I’ve begun

actively recruiting volunteers to collect and post relevant data and links.

With that solid foundation of information I hope we’ll see the interactive

component of the board take off as well. If you’re interested in

participating in this effort, (especially if you know phpBB,) or you’d just

like to see what’s going on, I encourage you to stop by the site and drop

me a message.

In the next few weeks thousands of voters will be waking up and seeking

information about the candidates. What those voters find could depend

on you. The more information there is at GunVoter.org, the more useful

it will be and the more people will find it, use it, discuss it, and add to it,

making it more useful and drawing more visitors, etc. Please help spread

the word about GunVoter.org to activists, candidates, political parties,

anyone interested in gaining or sharing pertinent information, and if

you’d like to lend a hand, let me know.

Knowledge is power only if it is shared and used. www.GunVoter.org is

an ideal forum for sharing, growing, and applying knowledge to realize

power and overcome the ignorance, apathy, and emotion that is

destroying the Republic.

U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance

Columbus, OH --(Ammoland.com)- I don’t know about you, but I have

to watch the Wizard of Oz with my daughter several times each year. In

fact, it seems like I always have the song, “Lions and Tigers and Bears,

Oh My!” swirling around my head.

As I was thinking about e-mail, Facebook, YouTube, texting, blogs,

forums and Twitter, a similar tune popped in my head – “E-mail,

Facebook and Twitter…Oh My!”

I know, it’s silly and I know that all of you rough and tough outdoor guys

are going to laugh a little (or maybe a lot), about me watching the

Wizard of Oz! Come on, haven’t YOU ever had to watch it with your

kids? I promise I watch John Wayne and Clint Eastwood movies too…

Anyway, who on earth knows what all these funky so-called “social

media” things are?

Well, simply put, these are new communications tools helping us all keep

up with family, friends and even co-workers. In a way, they are almost

like a “virtual sportsmen’s club.”

It seems like just yesterday folks were joining a sportsmen’s club to have

place to shoot, meet up with other hunters, anglers and shooters to talk

about what you did in the field. Some of the best memories come from

shooting the breeze with good friends and talking about the “one that got

away” or that impossible shot you pulled off. You could walk in the

clubhouse and there would be a pot of coffee brewing, deer heads on the

wall, the American flag in the corner and you’d recite the “Pledge of

Allegiance” before the meeting.

Of course, this is still what a lot of us do. Nothing will ever take the place

of good, old fashion face to face time at a local sportsmen’s haunt.

Social Media Connecting More Sportsmen

But, social media is providing us with another way to talk to each other.

Think about it, they are now making it easier than ever to post your deer

picture or the video showing how hard you fought that Largemouth Bass

on YouTube. Your friends, even the guys you met last year on that

hunting trip out west, can comment on it. You can also e-mail the

pictures to tons of friends from around the country or even text your

buddy sitting in that duck blind a few hundred yards away to check up on

how his day’s going.

While the U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance is still pretty “old school” on a lot of

things (phone calls and personal letters still count in our book), we’re

also working hard to get into this new world.

We have a Facebook page, a Twitter page, a YouTube page and a

CamoSpace page. Also, one of our biggest efforts to date is the Sentry

Program that through email gives you access to important information

on how to protect your hunting, fishing and trapping rights. It also lets

you easily pass it all on to lots of others.

We have a Sentry website that’s a one stop shop for things like hunting

regulations, maps and weather. There’s contests running now and then

and has a place to pin up your photos. Like I said, it’s kind of like a

“virtual sportsman club” and its all yours at NO COST. Just need to give

us a name, email, zip and phone number at

www.ussportsmen.org/beasentry.

Get involved with the group that’s keeping it legal for everyone and check

us out at all of our social sites. Be a part of our virtual sportsman club

today!

The U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance is a national association of sportsmen and

sportsmen’s organizations that protects the rights of hunters, anglers

and trappers in the courts, legislatures, at the ballot, in Congress and
