  Gun Measures – House passes tough measures POSTED ON  MAY 2, 2022  BY  ARMSREACH Gun Measures The House on Wednesday endorsed some of the most aggressive gun-control measures taken up on Capitol Hill in years — including raising the minimum age for the purchase of most semiautomatic rifles to 21 and banning high-capacity ammunition magazines — as Washington seeks to mount a tough response to recent high-profile mass shootings. The 223-to-204 vote took place just hours after a House committee heard searing testimony from a young survivor of the May 24 shooting in Uvalde, Tex., as well as the parents of a victim and a pediatrician who responded to the tragedy that left 19 elementary-schoolers and two teachers dead. Five Republicans joined most Democrats in backing the legislation. Two Democrats voted no. “Somewhere out there, there is a mom listening to our testimony, thinking, ‘I can’t even imagine their pain,’ not knowing that our reality will one day be hers, unle...

  Guns for Sale POSTED ON  JUNE 8, 2022  BY  ARMSREACH Taurus 1911 Review – The ‘PT1911’ 2019: The original article about the Taurus 1911 was written about 2009, about one of the most remarkable, and dependable guns I’ve ever owned (still applies today). The gun is still in manufacture, and still close to the original production price.  The Taurus 1911 .45 ACP (designated as the ‘PT1911’) has brought sneers and jeers from 1911 snobs since its introduction. The company stated in it’s initial press release that their 1911 was  “Destined to become the standard that all 1911 pistols are compared against”,  which probably didn’t help the furor much. The nonsensical hubbub on the forums from people who have never shot one is funny. And then there are the people (again who have not shot or owned one) who acknowledge that they have “heard that it is a good gun  for the price ”. Adding the disparaging afterthought, “for the price”. How Good Is The Taurus 1...

  Sales of handguns soar in Calgary following announcement of handgun sale freeze POSTED ON  JULY 2, 2022  BY  ARMSREACH Table of Contents Sales of Handguns Firearm Sales Outdoor Shootings Sales of  Handguns A Calgary gun and ammunition store owner says handgun sales in the city have skyrocketed following the Liberal government announcement about a freeze. J.R. Cox, who owns and operates The Shooting Edge range, said between the Calgary store and his Toronto store, 1,000 handguns were sold this week. “They are not on the streets. They are owned by lawful firearms owners so they are unloaded, they are locked up,” said Cox. “People have to make sure they go from their house to a range and back. They can’t carry them around. This isn’t the United States. We already have strict rules and I think if more of the public knew of all of the hoops Canadians jump through even to own a hunting rifle, they wouldn’t be concerned because we’re not a problem.” The Shooting Edge...

  Gun Sales: Firearm Sellers Message to Americans: Man Up POSTED ON  JULY 7, 2022  BY  ARMSREACH Table of Contents Gun Sales in the US Firearm Sales Gun Anxiety Sells Gun Sales in the US Firearms   and Gun sales vs population of the American people pale in comparison. The number of firearms in the U.S. is outpacing the country’s population, as an emboldened gun industry and its allies target buyers with rhetoric of fear, machismo and defiance. Last November, hours after a jury acquitted Kyle Rittenhouse of two shooting deaths during antiracism protests in 2020, a Florida gun dealer created an image of him brandishing an assault rifle, with the slogan: “BE A MAN AMONG MEN.” Mr. Rittenhouse was not yet a man when he killed two people and wounded another in Kenosha, Wis. — he was 17 — but he aspired to be like one. And the firearms industry, backed by years of research and focus groups, knows that other Americans do, too. Gun companies  have spent the last tw...
