44 vs 45: When Muzzle Energy Matters Submitted by: David Williamson Website: http://libertyparkpress.com	There are no comments on this story Post Comments \| Read Comments
The 45 Automatic Colt Pistol (ACP) and 44 Magnum are two powerful handgun rounds that are rarely compared. Although the bullet that each cartridge fires is separated by only a few hundredths of an inch, the terminal ballistics of the 45 ACP and 44 Mag are considerably different from one another.

I have a confession to make. I will often get on social media and post something like, �You can�t miss fast enough to win." or "Having lots of ammo is important only if you plan to miss a lot.� Then I merely sit back and take sadistic pleasure in the furor that I have caused. I get responses like, �A man ought to carry as much ammo as he needs,� that is suitably vague. Or someone will reply, �I�ve never known a gunfight survivor to say they had too much ammo,� also suitably vague and coming from someone probably doesn�t really know a single gunfight survivor. So, let�s talk about the ammo question.

In the ever-evolving world of President Joe Biden�s (D) new Justice Department ruling redefining braced pistols as short-barreled rifles (SBRs) under the Gun Control Act of 1968, nobody can be counted on to add clarity to the matter more than the president himself.

To much of the world, the United States is a country defined, at least in part, by its gun culture. And with good reason. The U.S., along with Guatemala and Mexico, is one of only three countries in which gun ownership is a constitutional right. Even more telling, according to a 2020 study by the National Shooting Sports Foundation, the U.S. is home to an estimated 433.9 million civilian-owned firearms, equal to about 1.3 guns for every American. No other country comes close to having that many guns, let alone more guns than people.

I recently did two things that I always swore I would never do: spend beaucoup bucks on a bespoke, custom-made firearm and purchase an M1911. Regarding the former, it�s just because I�m an inveterate frugal person who owns exactly one pair of jeans at any given time, cuts his own hair, eats a PB&J for lunch most days, gets a good six months out of a razor and who wears the same pair of $20 shoes until they disintegrate beyond the point of repair.

President Biden�s Fantasy Gun Control Agenda Submitted by: David Williamson Website: http://libertyparkpress.com	There are no comments on this story Post Comments \| Read Comments
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, we have a problem. The President is on the loose again, uttering nonsense about the Second Amendment. President Joe Biden spoke to a collection of political donors as he�s gearing up his 2024 re-election campaign and used his gun control grindstone to churn out well-worn and discredited Second Amendment tropes. The problem is � it�s all malarky. No kidding, man.

As policies from the Biden administration have opened the southern border of the United States of America to more illegal immigration, much of the national debate about immigration has necessarily focused on border security. But that important issue is for other publications and news services to report on and investigate. Here, if we can, I�d like to put that aside to focus on a big question related to our Second Amendment freedom that is being overlooked.

The Capitol this year felt like a tale of two legislative sessions. It was the best of times: In the first three months, lawmakers quickly and smoothly passed bipartisan bills to pave the way for more housing and attract new semiconductor activity. It was the worst of times: Fractured over proposals on abortion and guns, the Senate saw the longest legislative walkout in state history.
