Rutt Wipe has introduced blaze orange toilet paper; a "must have for every hunter."
The company says it's designed to "protect your assets" by eliminating the appearance of flashing household white TP in the woods - "a potentially dangerous activity because bright white can easily be mistaken for the same anatomical area of a whitetail deer." Rutt Wipe is a 2-ply, 250 sheet roll of biodegradable, non-toxic tissue paper and weighs a mere 3 1/2 ounces. Various web sites list it from $5 to $10 per roll so it wipes your wallet as well.

Congress: No tax dollars to lobby for UN gun ban
The United Nations is attempting to eliminate our Second Amendment freedoms by drafting a U.N. Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) that could include civilian rifles, shotguns and handguns.
Earlier this year Sen. Jerry Moran (R-Kans.) introduced S. 2205--the Second Amendment Sovereignty Act. S. 2205 would prohibit the Administration from using "the voice, vote, and influence of the United States, in connection with negotiations for a United Nations Arms Trade Treaty, to restrict in any way the rights of United States citizens under the second amendment to the Constitution of the United States, or to otherwise regulate domestic manufacture, assembly, possession, use, transfer, or purchase of firearms, ammunition, or related items, including small arms, light weapons, or related materials."
This week, during consideration of the Fiscal Year 2013 State, Foreign Operations and Related Programs Appropriations Bill, Senator Moran took additional steps to safeguard our rights and joined Sen. Jon Tester (D-Mont.) in offering an amendment to protect the rights of American gun owners from being undermined by the proposed ATT. We're pleased to announce that the amendment passed by a voice vote.
The amendment will block any taxpayer dollars from being used to advocate or agree to any provision that would restrict in any way the rights of United States citizens under the Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, or that would otherwise regulate the domestic manufacture, importation, assembly, possession, use, transfer or purchase of firearms, ammunition or related items.
"The United Nations must be prevented from interfering with our constitutional freedoms. Equally important, American taxpayers should not be forced to foot the bill for the U.N.'s efforts to restrict our Right to Keep and Bear Arms," said NRA-ILA Executive Director Chris W. Cox.
A similar amendment, offered by Rep. Denny Rehberg (R-Mont.), was adopted by the House Committee on Appropriations in the Fiscal Year 2013 State, Foreign Operations and Related Programs last Thursday by a bipartisan vote of 30-20. [Source: NRA/ILA]

Attorney's General say pass national
right-to-carry reciprocity
The right to carry a concealed handgun for self-defense took a major step forward with House passage of H.R. 822 - the National Right-to-Carry Reciprocity Act of 2011. The bill sponsored by Reps. Cliff Stearns (R-Fla.) and Heath Shuler (D-N.C.), has 245 cosponsors and was approved in the U.S. House of Representatives by an overwhelming bipartisan vote of 272-154. After passage in the House, the bill was sent to the Senate, where it remains. Since November, the Senate has failed to take any significant action on the bill. Recently, the Attorneys General of 22 states and the territory of Guam wrote a letter of support for H.R. 822 to Reps. Stearns and Shuler, stating in part, "While some have suggested this legislation would endanger public safety, our experience suggests the opposite. Individuals with concealed carry permits from our states have proven to be more law-abiding than non-licensees, and in many instances have been able to defend themselves and others effectively from criminal attack. Many of our states also have laws recognizing out-of-state permits, and people carrying concealed handguns under those laws have done so without any unusual problems." The Attorneys General also urged the Senate to take action on the bill. [Source: NRA/ILA] |
House leadership squares off with Holder on Fast and Furious
Last week U.S. House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio), Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.), and Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), joined House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) in sending a letter to U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder demanding full cooperation with the ongoing Congressional investigation into the infamous Fast and Furious operation, and the tragic death of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry. The letter asserts that the Department of Justice has not sufficiently complied with a Congressional subpoena seeking answers on the operation and questions whether false information that was provided-- and later withdrawn--"was part of a broader effort by your Department to obstruct a Congressional investigation." The letter states that two key questions remain unanswered: first, who on your leadership team was informed of the reckless tactics used in Fast & Furious prior to Agent Terry's murder; and, second, did your leadership team mislead or misinform Congress in response to a Congressional subpoena?" Holder continues to deny any knowledge of the tactics involved in the operation, which was run by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives out of its field office in Phoenix, Ariz.

Oklahoma governor signs open-carry gun bill
This week Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallin signed into law a bill that will allow Oklahomans to openly carry guns if they pass a criminal background check and take firearms training. Fallin, a Republican, said the new law "sends a strong message that Oklahoma values the rights of its citizens to defend themselves, their family and their property." Oklahoma already has a concealed weapons permit. The new law, which goes into effect November 1st, expands the rights of permit-holders to openly carry guns and also allows citizens to carry firearms, either openly or concealed, without a license if they are on their own property. Oklahoma becomes the 25th state with either permissive open carry laws (no permit required) or licensed open carry (permit required). Businesses in Oklahoma may continue to ban firearms from their premises under the new law, which also prohibits the carrying of firearms on properties owned or leased by the city, state or federal government, at corrections facilities, in schools or college campuses, liquor stores and at sports arenas during sporting events. |

GunTec USA offers heavy duty
AR-15/M-16 armorer's wrench
Anyone who is devoted to the M-16/AR-15 will want to take a close look at Scottsdale, Arizona-based GunTec USA's new AR-15/M-16 armorer's wrench.
The two sided, hefty steel tool, which will take a lot of punishment and come out unscathed, combines many of the functions necessary for building or repairing the rifle. It fits either multi-point or peg style barrel nuts on barrels up to one inch diameter and serves as a breaker bar or torque wrench for the one-half inch square drive opening. The other end is for the telestock locking nuts but the manufacturer was insightful enough to provide a large flat screwdriver blade for standard butt stock screws. Two additional slots fit A1 and A2 birdcage flash hiders and receiver extensions. The tool is also designed for use on free float tube, multi-point/peg-style barrel nuts, A1 and A2 birdcage/receiver extensions, telestock locking nut, A2 butt stock screws and a torque wrench/breaker bar socket (1/2" drive). The heat treated steel construction has a Parkerized finish to stand up to just about anything. The AR-15/M-16 armorer's wrench is available from GunTech with an MSRP of $39.95. |
