U.S. First Circuit Court Of Appeals Rules Assault Weapon Ban Constitutional by Darwin Nercesian

The United States First Circuit Court of Appeals, on April 17, held that Massachusetts law banning the sale, transfer, or possession of an assault weapon is not unconstitutional under the Second Amendment, sending a clear message to Americans that the Boston-based kangaroo court is either illiterate, corrupt, or just unforgivably stupid.

I’ll be honest here, my ability to suffer foolishness kindly on this matter has permanently expired, so if you aren’t a fan of name-calling and my propensity for the abrasive truth, then this one may not be for you.

Massachusetts resident, Joseph Capen, brought the case, announcing his plan to purchase items restricted by the infringement for the lawful purpose of self-defense, but a three blind mice panel of subversive activist judges. Who wouldn’t know a natural right from ringworm performed just the right amount of mental gymnastics necessary to return with a ruling so heavily steeped in treason that I’m offended by their citizenship status alone, much less their seat on a bench.

Comrade Judge Gary Katzmann, whom I definitely wouldn’t let babysit my children, wrote for the three-traitor panel that the “court” needed to consider whether the law was “consistent with this Nation’s historical tradition of firearm regulation,” which would make it allowable under the Second Amendment.

To be fair, Katzmann and his cronies would have found it consistent with a bowl of cereal if doing so properly served his anti-American agenda, and that is about as plausible as the panel’s holding that the ban on AR-15s, the most common sporting rifle in America, does not unduly burden civilian self-defense.

The court was so disingenuous in its ruling that it claimed Capen and additional appellants failed to show any instance in which these models had ever been used for self-defense, an asinine finding that any search engine could refute in seconds with days and weeks of reading material.

Katzmann embarrassingly attempted to correlate a longstanding tradition of regulation with the outright banning of “specific weapons once it became clear that they posed a unique danger to public safety, including mass deaths and violent crime unrelated to self-defense.”

However, no such longstanding tradition exists, with the mental gymnastics here contributing mostly to a sad perversion of the Bruen decision, for which the Supreme Court is likely to tuck tail and expose its lack of spine.

In fact, even machine guns are not banned outright. But Katzmann and his ilk of treasonous judicial activists never burden themselves with obstacles like honesty, integrity, or their oath to America and the Constitution. Why let any of that get in the way of the internal insurrectionist agenda?

Katzmann and his merry band of idiots also claimed the ruling was not inconsistent with Heller, noting that the Second Amendment right was not unlimited and did not pertain to weapons “designed for military use.”

While this take is genuinely not unique by any standard, it has also been debunked since, well, the beginning, as the Second Amendment clearly states in plain English, “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.”

A “well-regulated militia,” by definition, refers to a body of citizens trained and equipped to serve in a military capacity, ensuring the security of a free state, the Founding principle behind the Second Amendment.

Here’s a note to Katzmann and all the activist judicial traitors out there. If I can disprove you that easily, your children should be embarrassed by your legacy. There is very little I find more disgraceful than the absolute irreverence for your oath and obligation to the American people while you work to weaken the United States of America and poison our founding values from the inside.

Throughout history, many theories have been propounded as to the black robes worn by judges. Some say they provide a symbol of the authority and power conferred by the state, while others suggest they foster uniformity and promote the concept that justice remains blind.

Judges like Katzmann and his First Circuit cohorts, however, bring modern clarity to the garb, as it seems the real symbolism behind the black robe is the death and mourning of our Constitution.

POTD: The M110A1 Squad Designated Marksman Rifle by Eric B

Today we have some sweet photos of the M110 SDMR Sniper System, which is a semi-automatic precision rifle that is chambered for the 7.62×51mm NATO round. The optic is a SIG Sauer TANGO6 1–6×24 low-power variable optic, which blends in perfectly among the other strange shades of FDE. The bipod is a 6-9 Harris with a LaRue mount to fit the M-LOK handguard.

 

These are the U.S. Army National Guard Soldiers with the 2-113th Infantry Battalion, Charlie company, New Jersey Army National Guard, and you can see them train in a live fire target practice. The location was the Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, New Jersey.

Bullseye! By Jeff “Tank” Hoover

Here’s my 8 lb. jug of Bullseye from Alliant Powder.
There’s a lot of reloads in there.

 

During these dreaded days of chain supply unreliability and high prices, handloaders need to be creative in their pursuit of happiness, i.e., being able to stuff empty cartridge cases with some kind of smokeless powder. What do we do when the powder coiffures are running low?

Sometimes, older powders fall by the wayside as newer, cleaner powders are released. Scanning our powder shelf, we look for anything suitable for our next batch of handloads. Sometimes, the answer is right in front of our noses.

My .32 Colt Police Positive Special loves Bullseye powder.

Versatility vs. Productivity

Unique is hands down one of the most versatile powders ever devised. It performs great for most handgun loads and even works for most rifle loads, albeit in a reduced velocity sense. At least it makes shooting our long guns possible in a pinch. For handgun cartridges, there’s another choice from Alliant Powder that’s as versatile as Unique — Bullseye!

While this fast-burning powder won’t get as much velocity as Unique, Bullseye uses less powder per charge, allowing for more reloads per pound than just about any powder. Best yet? It’s remarkably accurate. In fact, it was Elmer Keith’s favorite powder for low-velocity, accurate practice and competition loads. Obviously, this powder has been around if Elmer used it, but it’s just as versatile today as it was back then.

Bullseye’s main purpose is obvious. Just a pinch of powder allows the shooting of light recoiling loads with a consistent velocity spread, providing accurate loads. I’ve used Bullseye for years with outstanding results in many different calibers and thought it time to share a few of my favorites.

A few years ago, I stumbled upon an 8 lb. keg of Bullseye. While not a favorite, I certainly knew its value and was going to make the most of it. Here are some of my favorite loads I use.

• .32 Long: Using RCBS 98 grain SWC or MP Molds 100 grain HP, I use 2.6 grains of Bullseye for just over 800 fps and excellent accuracy from my S&W pre-31 revolver.

.• 32 H&R: My favorite .32 cartridge. Using RCBS 98-grain SWC, this baby “Keith” slug when loaded over 3.6 grains Bullseye runs damn near 1,100 fps with wonderful accuracy. Speer 85-grain JHP over 4 grains of Bullseye runs 1,170 fps and are very accurate.

• 9mm: My favorite bullet for the 9mm is a cast bullet from the Lee Precision 125-grain radiused flat-nose mold. Powder coated, I load these over 4 grains of Bullseye and get just over 1,100 fps. It’s mild shooting and accurate.

A S&W 38/44 Heavy Duty gobbles up Bullseye
loaded .38 Special loads without a hiccup.

Lee Precision’s 125-grain RFN cast bullet mold makes wonderful
light loads for the .38 Special shown with Tank’s Model 15.

• .38 Special: I use the same 125-grain slug from the 9mm. With 4.5 grains of Bullseye, velocity runs just under 1,000 fps from most guns with great accuracy. Bullets from 158-170 get 3.5 grains of Bullseye and run around 850 fps. The classic PPC load is 2.7 grains of Bullseye with a 148 HBWC at around 700 fps.

• .38 Special +P: 125s gets 5 grains of Bullseye for 1,070 fps while 158-170 grain slugs get 4 grains for 920 fps.

• .357 MagnumSpeer 110-grain UCHP bullets loaded over 8.7 grains of Bullseye run just over 1,400 fps. Cast slugs in the 158-grain range loaded over 5 grains of Bullseye run 950 or so.

Loaded with Bullseye powder, the 9mm shoots just fine.

Tank’s Ruger Blackhawk with three cylinders — one, a .40 S&W,
makes light work with Bullseye powder. Other cylinders are
.38-40 and 10mm.

 

• 40 S&W: The .40 S&W is a favorite cartridge of mine for semi-auto’s and a special Ruger Blackhawk. 165-grain copper-plated slugs get 6 grains of Bullseye for just under 1,100 fps.

• .44-40: I use the same 2000-grain Lee mold for my .44-40 loads. Using 6 grains of Bullseye gives me just under 900 fps and all the accuracy I can hold for.

• .44 Special: Using Elmer’s 250-grain slug again, we only need 5.5 grains of Bullseye to get 850 fps. I like using Lee’s 200-grain RFN mold. Slugs from it over 6 grains of Bullseye run about 950 fps. Both loads are easy on recoil and accurate and won’t strain your gun. Elmer’s pet gallery load was 5 grains of Bullseye.

.45ACP loaded with Bullseye and Keith SWC’s
are fun and accurate to shoot.

Both .45 Colt and .45 ACP can be fired in Tank’s
Modified Redhawk reloads using Bullseye.

MP Molds 200-grain HP is ideal with Bullseye in .45ACP.

 

• 44 Magnum: Using the Lyman 429421 250-grain cast slug, it only takes 6 grains of Bullseye to push Elmer’s baby 900 fps. This load is a joy to shoot while being very accurate. It’s a great way to use a favorite gun without beating yourself up for a day of shooting.

• .45 ACP/AR: Six grains of Bullseye pushing a cast slug from Lee’s 230-grain mold runs around 940 fps and is accurate in both semi-autos and sixguns. Elmer used 5 grains of Bullseye for his target load with his 232-grain 454423 slug.

Heavy bullets in .480 Ruger are a pleasure to shoot when
loaded with Bullseye. Bullets are Lee 400-Grain RFN and
MP Molds 477640 HP.

Bullseye is useful, pleasant and fun in a variety of guns. Pictured
top to bottom: .45 Ruger Blackhawk, .475 Linebaugh and .44
Magnum flattop.

 

• .45 Colt: A 260-grain 454424 Keith bullet over 7 grains of Bullseye runs over 900 fps very accurately out of most sixguns. Elmer used 5-6 grains for his favorite light target load with his bullet.

• .480 Ruger: I have two bullets I almost shoot exclusively with my .480 Ruger. Le’s 400-grain RFN and MP Molds 386-grain 477640. I use 7-9 grains of Bullseye for 900-950 fps. It’s an easy shooting load and accurate.

• .475 Linebaugh: Seven to 9 grains of Bullseye can be used for lighter loads with 420-grain bullets. My favorite is Lee’s 400 RFN mold, along with MP Molds 477640. Velocity goes from 830 to 950 fps with Bullseye. Accuracy is all you can hold.

 

That’s a Wrap

While Bullseye powder may not be the answer to all your handloading woes, it can be used for fun, accurate shooting. If you happen to have some Bullseye already, break it out, roll up your sleeves and dirty up your gun for some of the cleanest fun on earth.
