    A User Review of the CZ / Huglu Model "Bobwhite" Shotguns in 20 and 28 Gauge Sharptail and Straightshooter Copyright 2006 All Rights Reserved Background On May 11th, 1875, Messrs William Anson and John Deeley were granted a patent for the design of a side by side shotgun action. They assigned the patent to Westley Richards, the firm that employed them both. The Anson & Deeley design became known as the "boxlock" and it changed the world of shotgun manufacturing. Westley Richards Boxlock So successful was the design that it was copied by all gun producing nations. The inherent values of a boxlock are simplicity and ease of construction, reliability and (most importantly) an ability to distribute weight correctly. Equipped with an appropriate set of barrels, the boxlock SxS is a fine handling gun - fast and a natural pointer. For many years the "meat and potatoes" gun of the common man was the boxlock non ejector (BLNE). Compared to his Lordship's Purdeys, the BLNE was a plain gun indeed, but it retained the virtue of being a good shooter and millions of examples were produced all over the world. Today, the "meat and potatoes" role is played by repeaters - pumps and automatics made entirely by machines. As efficient as the boxlock is, it still requires hand fitting - labour - and cannot compete on a cost basis with the repeaters. This turn of events has repositioned the boxlock SxS as a luxury item. Purchasers of these guns today are willing to pay more for superior handling, and perhaps for the nostalgia as well.

Since then, more than 887 people have been killed and more than 1,578 injured by these weapons. Towns like Parkland, Las Vegas, Newtown, Aurora and San Bernardino and are now known for the mass shootings that shocked the nation. Mass murders in these towns and others across America demonstrate all too clearly the need to regulate deadly assault weapons and high-capac- ity ammunition magazines. On January 9, 2019, we introduced a new Assault Weapons Ban of 2019. This legislation, stron- ger than the 1994 bill, has two primary goals: • First, halt the sale, manufacture, transfer and importation of 205 of the most commonly-owned military-style assault weapons and ban an additional group of assault weapons that are particularly lethal because they can accept a detachable ammunition magazine and have one or more military characteristics. • Second, ban large-capacity magazines and other ammunition feeding devices that hold more than 10 rounds of ammunition.
