U.S. Senate Shoots Down UN Arms Trade Treaty

From The Heritage Foundation: The U.S. Senate responded decisively today to Secretary of State John Kerry’s recent signature on the U.N. Arms Trade Treaty (ATT). In a bipartisan letter led by Senators Jerry Moran (R–KS) and Joe Manchin (D–WV), half of the Senate has officially pledged to oppose the ratification of the ATT.

Hickenlooper Tells Anti-Gun Groups to Stay Out of Colorado

From USA Today: “Colorado is a state that people like to be themselves and solve their own problems,” “They don’t really like outside organizations meddling in their affairs, and maybe the NRA gets a pass on that.” “But (it is) probably not a bad idea” for gun-control groups, such as the one established by New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, to curb their efforts if gun-rights activists collect enough signatures to force a recall vote on …

Sunday Reading

14 year old 3-Gunner Katie Francis will be featured in an ABC segment soon. Her parents initially declined the interview with the news, but later were convinced that they wouldn’t be vilified by the media. It should be an interesting clip, and it will be good to see 3-Gun on primetime TV. Chaos311Clarity on YouTube had an Attorney on Episode 17 of his YouTube show, and they delved pretty deep into some of the new …

Glock Sight Install Nightmare

Helped a friend install some new Ameriglo night sights on his Glock 22 last night. He had already removed the old rear sight, and began to install the new rear when it got stuck. I was able to hammer it back out of the dovetail, grease it up, and push it back in without too much trouble with my homemade sight pusher. Changing the front site was an absolute nightmare. The pistol is a Gen2 …

Eddie Vedder Hates You

If you are a gun owner, Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam hates you, and “almost” wishes bad things would happen to you. “I get so angry that I almost wish bad things upon these people…” “If I didn’t have music to kind of at least get some of the aggression out or take the edge off, you wouldn’t want me having a gun either.” “The fact that we’re living in a country where 90 percent …

Springfield just updated the SpringfieldRecall.com website with new information. It appears that their testing is complete, and they will begin repairing pistols in the coming weeks. We’re getting a free extended magazine for our troubles. (I’d prefer a standard magazine, as they have been unobtainable, but oh well…) We are pleased to announce that our testing was successful and is complete. We will receive our first shipment of upgrade parts early next week and will …
