Gov. Cuomo’s New Bogeyman is the ‘Ghost Gun’ • NSSF
The so-called “ghost guns,” and their unassembled components, require the purchase of necessary parts to be shipped to a buyer for assembly, under his proposal. Law-abiding citizens and gunsmiths regularly order parts to repair and rebuild their firearms on their own or their customers. Some buy unfinished lower receivers and complete the fabrication and that’s legal in New York State as long as those parts comply with New York’s 2013 SAFE Act. That’s didn’t stop N.Y. Attorney General Letitia James from sending cease and desist letters to sellers last year attempting to stop the practice.
The governor, though, is attempting to circumvent this all by requiring serial numbers on nearly every component and part that comprises a finished firearm.
New Generation of Kids Embrace Firearms and Shooting Sports
Despite the anti-gun rhetoric you've been hearing from some televised children lately, there is another, unheralded story of kids who have no fear of guns.
Why lawful CA gun owners are being denied ammunition purchases | The Sacramento Bee
Zachary Berg usually buys guns and ammunition with relative ease. After all, he’s a Sutter County sheriff’s deputy and needs them for his job. California’s stringent gun laws usually don’t apply to him.
But Berg couldn’t buy shotgun shells at his local hardware store in Yuba City prior to a duck hunting trip last month. He was rejected under California’s stringent ammunition background check program that took effect July 1, because his personal information didn’t match what state officials had in their database.
Berg was one of tens of thousands of Californians who have been turned away from buying ammunition at firearms and sporting goods stores, even though they appear to be lawfully able to do so, a Sacramento Bee review of state data shows. Between July 1 and November, nearly one in every five ammunition purchases was rejected by the California Department of Justice, the figures show.

The Top .30-30 Lever Action Rifles | Survival Sullivan
There is hardly a rifle that is more enshrined in American culture than the lever-action. These are the rifles that helped tame the Wild West. These are the rifles that have been in the hands of guides and trappers and frontiersmen.
These rifles for a time were the most common afield in search of deer for the family table and a nice trophy for the den wall. And if there is one cartridge modern shooters associate most with the lever-action rifle, it is the equally venerable .30-30 Winchester.
New Generation of Kids Embrace Firearms and Shooting Sports
Despite the anti-gun rhetoric you've been hearing from some televised children lately, there is another, unheralded story of kids who have no fear of guns. Recent weeks have seen the media promoting a decidedly anti-gun point of view, with children acting as messengers. These kids have targeted the NRA and gun owners as being complicit in the recent deaths of students at the hands of a mass shooter. It's a corrupt narrative that justifiably has gun owners and Constitutional advocates feeling unduly persecuted. Judging by the media coverage one would think that their anti-gun narrative is the pervasive attitude among school children. It's not. There is another side to the narrative, a side that has many kids embracing firearms and the shooting sports.
