June 30, 2023 A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed. Gun News Senate rejects Republican effort to overturn stabilizing brace rule New rules that require owners to register stabilizing braces for firearms will stay in place after the Senate rejected a Republican effort to overturn them. President Joe Biden had promised to veto the resolution overturning the rules if it had passed. In January, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives finalized the new regulations on pistols with stabilizing braces, also called pistol braces, that require owners to register them and pay a fee or remove the braces. The agency found the accessories can make pistols as dangerously powerful and easy to conceal as short-barreled rifles or sawed-off shotguns. The Senate voted 50-49 to reject the resolution, with all Democrats voting against it and all Republicans voting for it. The Republican-led House had passed the resolution earlier this month. Sen. John Kennedy, the Louisiana Republican who sponsored the resolution, said he believes the regulations are a "backdoor way to subject pistols to more smothering regulations" and create a national gun registry. Democrats said that the country needs more gun regulations, not fewer, as mass shootings proliferate. The new rule is also being challenged in several lawsuits by gun owners and state attorneys general who say it violates the Second Amendment by requiring millions of people to alter or register their weapons. In some cases, judges have recently agreed to temporarily block enforcement of the rule for the plaintiffs. Biden mentioned the rule in a speech last week as he urged tougher gun restrictions around the country. Biden noted that the pistol brace rule is one of several steps his administration has taken to try and curb gun violence.

Featured Firearm Savage Model 99 Arthur Savage's lever action, which appeared a year before the turn of the 19th century, was as different from everyone else's lever gun as a jet is different from a propeller plane. It was a sleek gun with no exposed hammer. Rather than a tubular magazine below the barrel, it had a rotary spool in the receiver, so it could accept modern cartridges with spitzer bullets. It had a good trigger. Since it ejected sideways, it could accommodate a scope. And it was chambered for, among other rounds, the .250/3000 cartridge, a light-kicking big-game load whose velocity was, for the time, breathtaking. The 99 was one of those rare creations that is decades and decades ahead of the competition. It was accurate, good-looking, fast-handling, reliable, and affordable. It was in production for 100 years, and if you have a 99 in good shape, take care of it. It will last you yet another century. Did you know? What made the Savage so unique? What makes the Savage Model 99 so unique is that it is a lever action rifle with a rotary magazine. Yes, it really exists, and it was well liked by hunters. Click here to watch the video.
