It made me recall a sheet of paper that was displayed on a bulletin board at my sons’ The Savage Rascal elementary school a couple of years ago. The paper –a Page 10 writing assignment – was written by one of the students and it was so forcefully anti-gun/anti-Second Amendment that it disturbed me much more than the usual rhetoric we are all bombarded with on a continual basis. It was clear the young author was parroting someone else’s words and had no clue whatsoever about anything relat- The ed to firearms. Since I was at school for Parent/Teacher conferences, I inquired about the writing assignment. I Hand-Sized Pistol was told by the teacher that her class had been having Championship debates about various topics and that the Second Amend- ment had been brought up by one of her students. After Page 62 the debating, students were instructed to write an opinion on any topic that was brought up. I won’t brag too much on this but my 10-year-old son did a fine job of defending Alice Chong: the Second Amendment using the history of our country as his ammunition. I guess what I’m saying is that the General Chennault’s essence of what we are as a country is a constant struggle even at the youngest and most innocent levels of citizen- Secret Weapon ship. There are those who will be brainwashed, but I take Page 78 pride and comfort in knowing that my sons and daughters aren’t the only young people in this country that will stand up and speak accurately and truthfully when the facts are misrepresented. Thanks for your time and please, keep up the great work.

  • Ghinese-American Ace After Surviving a Horrific Cockpit Fire, Art Chin Continued Serving in Defense of His Ancestral Homeland
    By Andy Chan, John Gong & Michael R. Litile Ghinese-American Ace After surviving a horrific cockpit fire, Art Chin continued serving in defense of his ancestral homeland I n his later years, acquaintances said it ! was difficult to tell Art Chin's age; most I of his face had been burned away in a I n.ry shootdown, and the scar tissue covering it was smoother than his natural skin would have been. He had once been movie star handsome, but now his only rec- ognizable original features were his eyes. Despite all he d been through-frustrations, crashes, defeats, his first wife dying in his arms-his eyes had kept their twinkle. And after all Chin had suffered, he campaigned for war bonds, posing for photos with his pipe jutting at a jaunty angle. When he was well enough he went back to flying, this time over the Himalayas, on a route dubbed the "Aluminum Tiail" because of the hundreds of airplane wrecl$ that marked its course. Arthur Tien Chin (Chin Shui-Tin) be- came an eight-victory ace during a combat career that ended two years before his coun- try officially entered World War II. Born on October 23,1973, he grew up in portland, Ore. In the early 1930s, he and a number of other promising young Chinese-American students entered flight training at the Al Greenwood fllng school in Portland, sup- ported by the local Chinese community. The )apanese were on the march in Asia at the time, and lapan's annexation of Manchuria in 1932 confirmed the suspicions of many Art chln (rlght) poses wlth a sguadron mate next to a new pollkarpov l-152 in 1939.

  • Firearm Suppressors
    04 20 RIFLE / MG SUPPRESSORS ADDITIONAL SUPPRESSOR BENEFITS FIREARM SUPPRESSORS A suppressor may not make a sniper silent, it will make him invisible. The muzzle flash reduces the night vision ability of the human eye for several minutes. A suppressor will prevent this. A suppressor is an extremely valuable accessory to any firearm. It offers many tactical advantages for general military and all kinds of special operations. It ´s also an excellent choice for police work, especially when dealing with today´s terrorist threats. SNIPER RIFLES Besides the obvious fact that a suppressor reduces the sound level of a gun, it has several more very important benefits B&T produces a full suppressor line for sniper rifles that mount to the flash which greatly improve the tactical efficiency of the operator. hider, muzzle brake or threaded barrel of most sniper rifle systems.

  • 50 Caliber–Danger and Legality of 50 Caliber Rifles,” Dateline NBC, June 19, 2005
    CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER NATIONAL SECURITY EXPERTS WARN ABOUT THE DANGER OF UNRESTRICTED SALES OF 50 CALIBER ANTI-ARMOR SNIPER RIFLES TO CIVILIANS Violence Policy Center About the Cover Photo The cover shows a Barrett 50 caliber anti-armor sniper rifle mounted on a “pintle” or “soft” mount, which is mounted in turn on a tripod. The mount reduces the effect of recoil, improves accuracy, and facilitates movement through vertical and horizontal dimensions, thus making it easier, for example, to engage moving targets. The Ponderosa Sports & Mercantile, Inc. (Horseshoe Bend, Idaho) Internet web site from which this photograph was taken advises the visitor: Many non-residents store firearms in Idaho. It is the buyers [SIC] sole responsibility to determine whether the firearm can legally be taken home. Ponderosa Sports has no knowledge of your city, county or state laws. For example - many kalifornia [sic] residents have purchased the Barrett m82 .50 BMG above. That rifle is illegal for them to take home. They can however purchase it and store it in Boise or Nevada.1 The operation of a pintle mount is fairly easy to understand by visual inspection. Here, for example, is one that Barrett sells for its 50 caliber anti-armor sniper rifles. Barrett soft, or pintle, mount for 50 caliber anti-armor sniper rifles. Tripods, often combined with pintle mounts, also aid in aiming heavy sniper rifles, as is evident from the following illustration. LAR Grizzly 50 caliber anti-armor sniper rifle mounted on tripod.

  • Military Pilot, Postal Worker Education
    Name in English: Arthur Chin Name in Chinese: 陳瑞鈿 Name in Pinyin: Chén Ruìtián Gender: Male Birth Year: 1913-1997 Birth Place: Portland, Oregon Profession(s): Military Pilot, Postal Worker Education: 1986, Benson Polytechnic High School Awards: Republic of China medals: Five Star Medal, Six Star Medal, 2 Orders of Renaissance and Honor 3rd Class, Order of Resplendent Banner with Special Rosette, Medal of Victorious Garrison 2nd Class, Awe-Inspiring Medal 3rd Grade; United States medals: 1995, Distinguished Flying Cross; 1995, Air Medal; 1997, Hall of Fame of the American Airpower Heritage Museum Contribution (s): Arthur Chin’s achievements are a source of pride for both Chinese and Latin Americans. Born in Portland, Oregon, Chin’s father was from Taishan, Guangdong Province, China while his mother was from Peru. Angered by the Japanese invasion of China, he began flight training in 1932 while still in high school. At the end of 1932 he left high school without graduating (remedied in 1986 when he graduated with his grandson) and volunteered for the Cantonese Air Force. Like many Chinese military officers and officials of the era, Chin was sent to Nazi Germany and completed his air training with the Luftwaffe in Bavaria in 1936. In 1937 he began active combat against the Japanese scoring his first two bomber kills. Heavily damaged in one encounter with 3 Japanese fighters in 1938 he deliberately rammed one and destroyed it before bailing out. His bravery attracted the attention of General Claire Chennault, the leader of the American Volunteer Group “Flying Tigers” who visited Chin in the hospital.

As an analyst of the global arms trade and weapons proliferation for thirty years, I recognize the transformative power of regulatory reform. But this is something else. The proposed revisions promise short-term benefits, which seem unlikely to amount to much in an already competitive global market. That makes this deregulation for the sake of deregulation itself. Meanwhile, the change unleashes three forces certain to accelerate long turn American industrial decline and loss of influence over global consequences. First, they show that the United States no longer will set global normative standards for all form of arms transfers and non-proliferation. Previously the United States Government has shown it will not further tighten restrictions.
