I did the same at Academy Sports; it was too good a deal to pass up. Never thought I’d buy a “striker fired” but the deal was great and the pistol really “fits” in the hand.
***But in fact, gun ownership in the United States has been declining steadily over more than three decades, relegating gun owners to minority status.***
That line is a lie.
Reminders for everyone:
Take friends to the range!
Get your kids stay involved in the sport. Get their friends involved too.
Join a local gun club.
Shoot regularly.
BLOAT.
***The NRA fully supported that law and in fact that support helped the bill sail through.***
Another reason I’m not renewing my membership.
In the autumn of my life I possess many weapons and arms. I have never fired any of these in anger. I am very competent with them. I shoot a great deal.
I do know what the 2nd amendment says.
It’s enough to make me go out and buy a gun.
Not that I need an excuse!
Why force yourself into such a Hobson’s Choice? Get both!

Gun Control....the whole story of how the libs passed it.
Interesting how Hucks hometown is the cross point.
Very insightful post. Imagine what bringing 'white male culture' and 'old America' down will look like. For me, it'd mark the end of Mall Shopping.
The disrespect for individual rights will tragically devolve into 'communal' rights claimed by none other than clans and gangs. Vast portions of America will become 'off-limits' to persons of undesirable color. By liberal standards a success, I suppose.

Americans who vote regularly are a minority too - that doesn’t make the right to vote any less critical.
No matter how it rules, the court's decision is unlikely to make much immediate difference to the mass shootings by unhinged citizens that have become part of American life.
No court ruling is ever going to "make much immediate difference" or any difference to deranged lunatics who'll manage to steal a gun.
Johns Hopkins has done "business" with the grabbers for years, taking research subventions (some of it public money) and coming up with data support for snappy one-liners for grabber NGO's. In fact, I'd be willing to wager they're the source of most of uberwonk Josh Sugarman's best propaganda zingers and a lot of the Million Moms/Bell Campaign slogans we've heard over the last 10 years.
What load of crap. In places that make it nearly prohibitive due to government infringement on the 2nd amendment, people simply ignore the law and own/carry anyways. The risk of being caught is of minimal concern where the risk to one's life is seen as greater.
Few people are willing to let bureaucrats make life and death decisions for them where they can easily circumvent such stupidity.
I never thought I would say this but Gun Owners Of America have more conviction than the NRA.
That's because I choose whether or not I want to reveal if I own guns. In other words, It's nobody's damn business, whether I do or not.
The law was going to be passed anyway with or without the help of the NRA. The NRA was able to get a provision in the law that allows people to get their Rights back which is something that they couldn’t do since 1968.
The anti’s are upset that the NRA ruined their gun law.
Read the Bill.
I don’t believe you were ever a member.
There’s always an excuse to do nothing, isn’t there?
The article quotes a very small statistical sample.
When someone calls me and asks if I am a gun owner I hang up on them.
I too notice more women and minorities at gun stores and gun shows.I suspect this poll did prequalification for the participants and missed those people.
To a point, it does, but then I look at everyone to the left of Fred in the POTUS race, and realize how much hinges on the upcoming SCOTUS decision.
