Reed Governor of Maine IT IS MY understanding that a test case has been taken to the Supreme Court of the United States, involving the proper interpretation of the Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. Tbe court ruled that the amendment prohibits the federal government from enacting legislation that would infringe on the right of the people to keep and bear arms. However, it does not prevent the several states from enacting such laws as they may consider necessary and not in conflict with the individual constitutions of the states. Obviously, there is a need for legislation C-H MAKES TOOLS that would prevent young children, for example, from carrying firearms, and would make it unlawful for felons to carry such arms. We are alert to the need for being FOR ALL THREE ... on guard against legislation that would restrict the rights of the people to bear arms, unless such legislation would serve a useful and needed purpose. RIFLE, PISTOL AND Congressman Peter A.

So whether you are an ardent shooter I do that "the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall or an infrequent hunter, it pays to reload the C·H way. Insist on the finest, it costs no more! At leading not be infringed." dealers EVERYWHERE! Senator Edward Y. long Comm: Judiciary Missouri I LOOK UPO THIS Amendment as a very important restnctJon upon the power of the government. As with all other Articles of the Bill of Rights, we must keep ever vigilant against actions which would make inroads on it. It is imperative that any legislation concerning firearms be measured against the prohibition contained in this Amendment. The possession of guns raises certain problems in law enforcement, but these problems can only be solved within the framework of those liberties guar· anteed by the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Han. William l. Guy State of North Dakota TO MY WAY of thinking, firearms fall into two categories; one is recreation and one is weapons. A great many folks enjoy hunting as a recreation. I think that this right should be protected. Another important facet of the use of firearms is the training that we can instill in our young people in the proper handling of fire­ arms, which helps them carry out their military duties later in life. I personally do not believe that we have serious problems with firearms and would discourage any restrictive legislation. Congressman James C. Corman 22nd Dist., California THE ABRIDGEMENT OF a citizen's right to keep and bear arms has traditionally been the prelude to authoritarian control and eradication of personal freedoms within a nation. The right of an enlightened citizenry to maintain weapons is a double·edged sword., how· ever, and the danger of a gun in the hands of irresponsible persons can never be overlooked. Laws for the registration and control of weapons must never infringe upon the Second Amendment, but they are necessary for the protection of both users and non-users of guns.

  • International Military Cartridge Rifles and Bayonets
    INTERNATIONAL MILITARY CARTRIDGE RIFLES AND BAYONETS The following table lists the most common international military rifles, their chambering, along with the most common bayonet types used with each. This list is not exhaustive, but is intended as a quick reference that covers the types most commonly encountered by today’s collectors. A Note Regarding Nomenclature: The blade configuration is listed, in parentheses, following the type. There is no precise dividing line between what blade length constitutes a knife bayonet vs. a sword bayonet. Blades 10-inches or shorter are typically considered knife bayonets. Blades over 12-inches are typically considered sword bayonets. Within the 10-12 inch range, terms are not consistently applied. For purposes of this chart, I have designated any blade over 12 inches as a sword bayonet.

  • Winchester Mystery House the Building Project of a Lifetime
    Winchester Mystery House The building project of a lifetime JOE KISSELL San Jose, California—about an hour’s drive south of San Francisco—is the unofficial center of Silicon Valley. Lots of high-tech companies are based in or near San Jose, and of the dozens of times I’ve been there, all but one or two were for a technology-related conference of one sort or another. It’s an attractive small city with some excellent museums, parks, and restaurants. But San Jose’s biggest tourist attraction was built long before computers made their mark on the area. About five miles (8km) from downtown, the Winchester Mystery House draws huge crowds almost every day of the year for a simple walking tour of what may be the country’s strangest residential building. Everyone in the Bay Area seems to know about the Winchester House, to the extent that billboards advertising the attraction don’t give any information other than its name. When I first moved to northern California several years ago, these signs puzzled me. Even after reading a brochure about the house, I didn’t quite grasp what it was all about until I visited for myself. The Winchester Mystery House is undeniably interesting, though whether it lives up to its hype is another question. 1 Our House Is a Very, Very, Very Strange House From the outside, the building appears to be nothing more than a sprawling Victorian mansion surrounded by meticulously groomed gardens, soothing fountains, and lots of tour buses. It’s pretty, though not particularly shocking.

    Two classic S&W .41 Magnum revolvers evolved from the original Model 57: a 7.5-inch barreled hunting .41 Mag and a highly customized “belly gun” with all the nice touches from Ken Kelly at Magnaport.

  • * Wicked Wadcutters
    Wonderful Wicked Wadcutters... A defensive load you may not have (but probably should have) considered. Jacketed hollowpoints consistently fail to expand at snubnose velocities when fired through gel or gel and plywood–acting almost like an FMJ (right). Additionally, there are few things in life more uncomfortable, or disconcerting to a new shooter, than the unbelievably abusive recoil generated by an Ultra-Light snubbie loaded with hot, heavy, and/or very fast, self defense ammunition. SNUB-NOSED REVOLVERS HAVE BEEN popular as carry guns for a long time. Also, those who favor big main guns can be found packing a snubbie as a backup, but the short barrels that users favor for carry bring a price: lack of velocity. That velocity loss means expanding bullets often don’t expand. If your high-tech hollow-point fails to expand, it works no better than a traditional lead round-nose. Also, the rounded nose of a jacketed hollowpoint can glance off of hard things like bone. But if you increased velocity (and chamber pressure) until you get enough to cause expansion, recoil becomes ferocious in a lightweight snubbie. So let’s go about this in a different direction. We all know shot placement matters more than expansion anyway. If a thug is about to punch your ticket, a lead round-nose through his sternum is much more favorable to your cause than an expanding bullet that only creases his stomach. Even if that bullet expands to the size of a five- gallon bucket, the poor shot placement means it is of little, or no use.
