For nearly 20 years, the NRA has worked tirelessly to oppose any United Nations effort to undermine the constitutional rights of law-abiding American gun owners.  The latest attempt by the U.N. and global gun banners to eliminate our Second Amendment freedoms is to include civilian arms in the current Arms Trade Treaty (ATT), which will be finalized next year.

In order for any treaty to take effect, however, it must be ratified by two-thirds of the U.S. Senate.   To ensure that any ATT that includes civilian arms is dead on arrival in the Senate, the NRA has been working to get as many U.S. Senators as possible to publicly oppose any ATT that includes restrictions on civilian arms.

As of this morning, 50 members of the U.S. Senate have signed letters to President Obama and Secretary of State Clinton saying they will oppose any ATT that includes civilian firearms ownership.  These strongly worded letters caution the President and Secretary of State to uphold the Constitution of the United States.  As Senator Jerry Moran’s letter warns, “(A)s the treaty process continues, we strongly encourage your administration to uphold our constitutional protections of civilian firearms ownership.  These freedoms are non-negotiable, and we will oppose ratification of an Arms Trade Treaty presented to the Senate that in any way restricts the rights of law-abiding U.S. citizens to manufacture, assemble, possess, transfer or purchase firearms, ammunition and related items.”

Thanking the NRA for our long-standing work on this issue, Senator Moran remarked, “I appreciate the NRA’s partnership on this important effort to defend the rights of American gun owners. I want to thank them for their active support in sending a strong message to the Obama Administration that our firearm freedoms are not negotiable.”

As we have for nearly two decades, the NRA will continue to fight against any U.N. treaty that undermines the constitutional rights of American gun owners.  These letters send a clear message to the international bureaucrats who want to eliminate our fundamental, individual right to keep and bear arms.   Clearly, a U.N. ATT that includes civilian arms within its scope is not supported by the American people or their elected U.S. Senators.  We are grateful to Senator Moran, Senator Jon Tester, and all members of the Senate who have chosen to stand on the side of America’s 80 million gun owners in opposition to those who want to eliminate our freedoms.  And thank you as well to those NRA members who contacted their Senators and encouraged them to support this critical effort.

The following is quoted from the history page of the Leitner-Wise Defense website. Take some time to brouse around their site and check out what products and services they are and plan to provide.  They are currently working some very interesting consultancy services, innovative firearm products, and a piston AR-15 rifle that looks as good as it runs. (YES, I shot this excellent rifle)  There are many designed features that make this rifle stand out from the crowd of Ar-15 builders.  The new AR-15 rifle to keep an eye on . . . available soon!

“Leitner-Wise Defense was formed in 2005 initially as a consultancy service for the three founding partners to bring together their complimentary skills, explore and develop potential technologies and offer them to other Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM’s) primarily in the defense industry sector.

We wanted to develop products that work and work exceptionally well so with over 45 years of combined experience behind us we know that we are pretty good at delivering what our customers want. The approach behind this philosophy, like our solutions, is pretty simple; we believe that behind every successful design is a single passionate purpose; the perfection of the solution. So it is with this same unrelenting sense of purpose that we approach the new product development process.

In 2006 however, a different direction was taken and the company embarked on a rapid three-year research and development program which resulted in the successful launch of our three core product lines at the 2009 SHOT Show in Orlando, Florida. This core change meant that we are now a manufacturing company and an engineering resource and product development consultancy. See Consultancy Services

Product design, whether for ourselves or our customers, is not just a visual and aesthetic process but a precise and technical problem solving methodology. Our key staff include degreed Industrial Designers and Mechanical Engineers educated in this country and abroad with a depth of experience across a broad range of industry sectors from automotive and defense to design and financial. Our staff are young and energetic with diverse backgrounds and capabilities and most importantly, our products have succeeded in the one place that matters most: the marketplace.”

Tom Clarke explains the importance of dry firing the failure to fire malfunction clearance. Tom and Mark demonstrate in this video in a safe location, the range. The goal of clearing out a malfunction is for the end result of a loaded firearm. Get a training partner and practice! Stance, grip and the clearance procedure are all points to practice. Take the time and dry firing / practice will pay off in your live firing training.

Beau Jaramillo and Joseph Comfort have been working & training together for a couple of years. Mostly long-range sniper rifles, but I hear they have been working with pistols and carbines too. These guys are shooting long range matches in Nevada, California and Arizona to name a few states. Expect this team to do Great things in the near future.

Summer has started here in Southern Nevada. The sun stays out late and the temperature has risen into the triple digits. The local Las Vegas match and AZPRC match take a two month break during the hottest months, July and August.  They pick up again in September so the team has started traveling deeper in to Arizona to keep our skills sharp. We are fortunate that the AZLRPRS match continues through the summer and the drive down to Phoenix, AZ isn’t bad.

We had a busy month this June and were able to shoot three different matches. We started with the local Las Vegas Tactical Precision Match at Desert Sportsman, which is held the first Saturday of the month. We had three shooters in the top ten with Dane taking 3rd, Joe ended up 5th, Beau took 9th, and Bill pulled in 19th. As usual Kurt Stone did a great job with the course of fire, he incorporated positional shooting, paper targets and the moving target! One great thing about the owner of LV Steel Targets putting on a match is all the new and varied style targets we get to shoot during the competition.

Lenny Bolton, owner of Venom Tactical and ATAC TV Staff member use the Remington receiver on his custom sniper rifles because once re-machined he has found that it really does not have any down sides in performance compared to some of the custom actions available. Also, Lenny found that some of the custom actions out there are not perfect and have had to machine these also. Anything that is mass-produced will have variances. The production quantity usually dictates the amount of variance.

The process used when re-machining a receiver begins by line boring the bolt bearing surfaces. This insures the bolt raceway is aligned and is then used as the datum or centerline for the other machining processes. The receiver is then placed in a fixture and indicated at 2 points to less than .0001” misalignment of bore centerline. The receiver barrel threads are single point threaded, receiver lugs machined and the receiver face trued in the same fixture.

Because the bolt bearing surfaces are enlarged to .705” in the alignment process, the bolt must either be bushed or a replacement over sized bolt must be used. After bushing many bolts Lenny decided to design his own bolt. The Venom bolt is made from 4340-chrome molly steel. After the bolt is heat treated, it is ground to an elliptical shape. This means the bolt has a loose tolerance when in the loading/unloading position and much reduced clearance in the closed position. The difference in the bolt dimensions allows dirt to be cammed of the bolt surface when the bolt is closed this also helps alleviate bolt freezing problems in extreme cold. The bolt has a .063” firing pin hole. The handle on the bolt is dovetailed and pinned in position and is much stronger than the silver soldered stock bolt handle. The firing pin is a Venom design and has a .0625” diameter hardened tip and is lighter than the stock pin. The shoulder on the pin is grooved to allow the firing pin to not hydraulic in the bolt in case the rifle happened to get submerged. The bolt knob is over sized to allow easier bolt manipulation when gloves are used.

The recoil lug is also a Venom Tactical manufactured piece. It is pinned to the receiver and precision surface ground and has a Rockwell rating of 62c. This allows the barrel to be torqued much over stock torque without the lug crushing. The use of Spiralock^® barrel threading system makes this possible. Barrel torque has a large effect on cold bore and overall consistency.

These are just a few features incorporated in the receiver portion of a Venom rifle build, and part of the reasons why the Venom Tactical sniper rifles are so accurate.

“Why I Carry a Gun?

My old grandpa said to me son,’ there comes a time in every man’s life
when he stops bustin’ knuckles and starts bustin’ caps and usually it’s
when he becomes too old to take an ass whoopin’. I don’t carry a gun to
kill people. I carry a gun to keep from being killed.

I don’t carry a gun to scare people. I carry a gun because sometimes this
world is a very scary place.

I don’t carry a gun because I’m paranoid. I carry a gun because there are
real threats in the world.

I don’t carry a gun because I’m evil. I carry a gun because I have lived long enough to see the evil in the world.

I don’t carry a gun because I hate the government. I carry a gun because I
understand the limitations of government.

I don’t carry a gun because I’m angry. I carry a gun so that I don’t have to
spend the rest of my life hating myself for failing to be prepared.

I don’t carry a gun because I want to shoot someone. I carry a gun because
I want to die at a ripe old age in my bed, and not on a sidewalk somewhere
tomorrow afternoon or evening.

I don’t carry a gun because I’m a cowboy. I carry a gun because, when I die
and go to heaven, I want to be a cowboy.

I don’t carry a gun to make me feel like a man. I carry a gun because men know how to take care of themselves and the ones they love.

I don’t carry a gun because I feel inadequate. I carry a gun because unarmed and facing three armed thugs, I am inadequate.

I don’t carry a gun because I love it. I carry a gun because I love life and the people who make it meaningful to me.

Police Protection is an oxymoron. Free citizens must protect themselves. Police do not protect you from crime, they usually come too late and only investigate the crime after it happens and then call someone in to clean up the mess.

AS A FORENSIC SCIENTIST, PRACTICING TOXICOLOGY AND PATHOLOGY, I HAVE SEEN THE HORRIBLE RESULTS OF THOSE POOR INNOCENT PEOPLE WHO WERE UNABLE TO PROTECT THEMSELVES BECAUSE THE POLICE CANNOT ARRIVE UNTIL FIVE OR TEN MINUTES AFTER THE EVENT OCCURRED. PLEASE GOD, SEND SOME INTELLIGENCE TO THE IDIOTS IN D.C.”
