P220 COMBAT VS The GUN GUYS
Last time it was the certified Pre-Owned P226 Pistol. This time it’s the SIG SAUER® P220 Combat. These
guys must not like us because they keep trying to destroy our guns with their diabolical torture tests. We
don’t want to give too much away but let’s just say we had to send them back to the drawing board. Here
are some images from the recent FirePower TV Torture Test which was taped at the secret FirePower TV
proving grounds in Indiana. As you read this, the video is being edited and prepared for local broadcast
as well as podcast. As soon as we have a link we’ll forward it to you. Until then, enjoy these images of the
evil deeds of The Gun Guys.

REMINGTON TO CLOSE H&R 1871 PLANT . . . Remington Arms Co. has announced a manufacturing
consolidation move that will result in the closure of its Gardner, Mass., plant. Throughout the
remainder of this year the integration of H&R 1871's operations will result in centralized sales and
marketing, streamlined operations, standardized information technology infrastructure and common
financial functionality, while maintaining individual brand identities and products, according to company
sources. An estimated 200 Gardner employees will be impacted by the closure, which is expected to
be completed by the end of 2008. "While it was a difficult decision to close Gardner, we believe that
this consolidation will enhance our ability to more efficiently provide quality products at competitive
prices in an increasingly demanding global marketplace," said Remington CEO Tommy Millner.

CHARLTON HESTON REMEMBERED AS STAUNCH DEFENDER OF 2ND AMENDMENT . . . Playing potent
figures such as Moses and Ben Hur may be how actor Charlton Heston, who passed away on Saturday,
will be remembered by many, but another powerful role he played was president of the NRA and
outspoken supporter of the right to keep and bear arms. "Were it not for your active involvement," the
Associated Press reports then Florida Gov. Jeb Bush telling Heston, "it's safe to say my brother may not
have been president of the United States." Heston, 84, was mourned by many and eulogized by NRA
Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre.
NICS BACKGROUND CHECKS UP 6.7 PERCENT IN MARCH . . . Data released by the FBI's National Instant
Criminal Background Check System (NICS) shows 1,040,863 background checks were performed on the
sale of firearms in March, a 6.7 percent increase from the 975,806 reported in March 2007. Adjusted
state figures show March background checks up 5.5 percent. Year-to-date figures show a total of
3,004,549 background checks reported by NICS. The increase coincides with an up tick in excise taxes
reported by firearms and ammunition manufacturers, another key economic indicator for the firearms
industry.
TED ROWE NAMED PRESIDENT OF WFSA . . . Thirteen years ago, Ted Rowe was a co-founder of the
World Forum on the Future of Sport Shooting Activities, so it is fitting that last month he was elected,
unanimously, to be president of the international organization at its general meeting in Nuremberg.
Rowe, who is known throughout the firearms industry, particularly for his work with the SAAMI Board of
Directors and NSSF Board of Governors, succeeds Carlo Peroni of Italy who had served as president since
the World Forum's inception. "I am proud to be elected president of an organization that is doing so much
to protect hunting and sport shooting around the world," said Rowe. The WFSA is an association of
associations that is the voice of 100 million sportsmen and women and has led science-based policy
discussions on ammunition and hunting, and is the leading advocate for sportsmen in the United Nations.
WEST VIRGINIA TO BRING HUNTER EDUCATION INTO SCHOOLS . . . West Virginia Gov. Joe Manchin III
signed into law Senate Bill 9, which directs the state Board of Education to develop a hunter education
program for use in the state's public schools. An instructor from the state's Division of Natural Resources
will offer the class over a two-week period as an elective to students in grades six through twelve as part
of the physical education class, general education curriculum or after-school programming.
AD CAMPAIGN OPPOSES CALIFORNIA BILL . . . NSSF, along with the California Association of Firearms
Retailers, has waged an advertising campaign in opposition to proposed California legislation that would
create severe restrictions on all ammunition sales and purchases in the Golden State. Listen to the
Opposition Ad | Learn more about AB 2062
PUSH FOR FARM BILL URGED . . . Conservation and hunting advocacy groups are urging the continuation
of a strong Farm Bill policy, and Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever have issued an appeal for
supporters to contact their senators and representatives before the April 18 Farm Bill extension deadline.
IOWA FOOD PANTRIES BACK TO PROVIDING VENISON . . . Food pantries in Iowa have been given
approval to resume serving venison to the needy. Earlier, anti-hunting entities had convinced state
officials that the meat was tainted by lead. Similar scare campaigns in North Dakota and Minnesota
resulted in venison for the homeless being discarded. According to the Iowa Department of Natural
Resources and the Iowa Department of Public Health, a total of 10 samples of ground venison from a
food pantry were tested by the University of Iowa Hygienic Laboratory recently. All 10 samples had less
than one part per million of lead, eight had no detectable amounts and two had only trace amounts.
HUCKABEE ON BOARD FROM THE GET-GO . . . The Washington Times on Friday included a mention of
former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee's plans to keynote the 2008 Shooting Sports Summit now that he is
"no longer seeking the White House." However, NSSF Senior Vice President Chris Dolnack points out,
Huckabee actually agreed to attend at the height of his campaign. "Gov. Huckabee actually signed on to
deliver the keynote address on Dec. 3, when he was leading the polls," Dolnack said. Huckabee, a lifelong
sportsman and strong supporter of America's hunting and shooting traditions, will deliver the summit's
keynote address on June 25.
AHSA, THE BRADY CAMPAIGN AND BARACK OBAMA . . . The American Hunters and Shooters
Association, claiming itself to be a pro-gun sportsmen's group, thinks gun owners are moving in the
direction of Sen. Barack Obama. This is the same Sen. Obama who in a 1996 candidate questionnaire
(Part 1, Part 2), declared his support for a complete ban on the manufacturing, sale and possession of
handguns and "assault weapons" -- and, while campaigning in Pennsylvania recently, said, "I am not in
favor of concealed weapons. I think that creates a potential atmosphere where more innocent people
could [get shot during] altercations." Peter Hamm, communications director for the Brady Campaign, has
said his group "would be happy with either" Obama or Clinton." No wonder Paul Helmke, president of the
Brady Campaign, said of AHSA, "I see our issues as complementary to [AHSA]. They're a positive group."
Meanwhile, Bill Cavala, a California liberal activist with ties to AHSA Executive Director Bob Ricker,
implied that Pennsylvania gun owners are racists. "If the peckerwoods of central Pennsylvania can be
persuaded to vote for a black man by gunner endorsements, then the 11 states of the old Confederacy
itself might be on the table," wrote Cavala in a posting to the California Progressive.
NSSF MEMBERS URGED TO RENEW NOW . . . Bettyjane Swann, NSSF's manager of member services,
sent out membership renewals in March and wants to make it clear that if you are a member and a
renewal notice is waiting in your e-mail inbox or is in the "to do" pile on your desk, you must act on it
now. This is no time to let your NSSF membership lapse. More than ever, NSSF must be its strongest to
take on the many challenges that threaten the industry -- and your business. Membership dollars make
NSSF programs and services possible. Programs like First Shots, the Scholastic Clay Target Program and
STEP OUTSIDE are building more participants to hunting and shooting -- and more customers.
Call-to-action alerts keep members informed about federal and state legislation that can cripple
businesses. Exclusive research, educational seminars and member benefits provide tools and services for
business success. Your membership means business and is the foundation of NSSF efforts to preserve the
future of recreational shooting, hunting and our firearms freedoms. Swann urges that you renew online
now or call her at 203-426-1320. And if you haven't joined NSSF, now's the time.
ACUSPORT, BARRETT ANNOUNCE PARTNERSHIP . . . AcuSport Corp., a leading distributor of shooting
and hunting products, and Murfreesboro, Tenn.-based Barrett Firearms Manufacturing have announced
that AcuSport will now be a national distributor for all Barrett products. Full Story
HUNTS OF HOPES AND DREAMS . . . Like the Catch-a-Dream Foundation, another group, Hunts of Hopes
and Dreams, was formed as a result of the 1999 change in policy by the Make-A-Wish Foundation, which
decided to refuse to grant hunts as a wish of terminally ill children. The Ottumwa (Iowa) Courier reports
on Hunts of Hopes and Dreams' efforts to take terminally ill or disabled young people -- and their families
-- into the outdoors. "By us taking them and their parents, it shows them how to get past those
disabilities," the newspaper quotes Derrick Meyer, described as the force behind the non-profit group.

The Second Amendment protects an individual right to possess a firearm unconnected with
service in a militia, and to use that arm for traditional lawful purposes, such as self-defense within
the home."
By a vote of 5-4, The United States Supreme Court today ruled that the Second Amendment to the
United States Constitution guarantees a fundamental, INDIVIDUAL right to own a firearm.
Voting with the majority were Chief Justice Roberts, Justice Alito, Justice Thomas, Justice
Kennedy, and Justice Scalia, who wrote the opinion. Justices Breyer, Ginsburg, Souter and
Stevens voted to uphold D.C.’s complete gun ban.
Buckeye Firearms Foundation, together with a coalition of private security companies, filed an
amicus brief in support of Mr. Heller.
With this decision, the Court signaled an unequivocal end to the two-decade legal charade
popularly referred to as the "collectivist theory." Your right to possess a firearm in your own home
is an individual right and has nothing to do with your role, or lack of role, in any militia.
Prior to today’s decision, the majority of the federal court circuits had utilized the collectivist
theory, mostly as a means to uphold criminal convictions for violations of federal firearm laws.
Clearly bad facts make bad law, and today’s decision is the reprieve gun owners have been
looking for.
But what does the Heller decision mean? The easiest way to answer this question is to look to the
question that the Supreme Court asked: Whether the following provisions, D.C. Code §§ 7-2502.02
(a)(4), 22-4504(a), and 7-2507.02, violate the Second Amendment rights of individuals who are
not affiliated with any state-regulated militia, but who wish to keep handguns and other firearms
for private use in their homes?
That is the scope of the decision in a nutshell. People living in D.C. have the right to possess
firearms in their own homes, and D.C.’s law, which amounted to a ban, violated that right.
However, even though the decision is limited to this specific holding, the Heller case will clearly
have nationwide impact in the coming years as it is tested and applied against cities in lawsuits
throughout the United States.
