The FGC-9, a semiautomatic firearm designed to be 3D-printed, embodies a bold statement against global gun control measures. Created by a designer known as JStark1809, this weapon aims to provide access to firearms for those frustrated by restrictive laws, especially outside the United States, where such laws are often less stringent. The firearm’s name, with “FGC” standing for “F— gun control,” explicitly reveals its ideological stance and invites scrutiny of international attitudes toward arms regulation. Since its inception in 2020, the FGC-9 has gained traction among advocates seeking greater autonomy over personal weaponry rights, mainly through its comprehensive 110-page assembly…

In a significant shift, several blue states, including Colorado, are implementing new laws that could allow lawsuits against gun manufacturers for negligence, tapping into a loophole around the federal immunity established by Congress in 2005. This initiative, which has gained momentum since 2021, follows a series of tragic gun violence incidents and seeks to hold manufacturers accountable if they fail to prevent guns from reaching prohibited individuals. Connecticut’s new law, effective this month, requires firearm makers and sellers to take proactive measures to avoid illegal gun transfers, prompting a wave of legal action against companies like Glock. The gun industry…

Ohio’s Senate Bill 303 proposes to allow individuals aged 18 to 21 to purchase handguns from federally licensed dealers, defying the federal law that prohibits such sales to those under 21. While supporters argue that the bill enhances constitutional rights by aligning them with existing laws for military enlistment and long gun purchases, critics warn that it could lead to significant legal challenges, with former Ohio Attorney General Marc Dann highlighting the potential for lawsuits between state and federal authorities. This legislative move comes against the backdrop of the Gun Control Act of 1968, which was enacted to address rising…

I’ve never been much of a duck caller. Despite having several duck calls which I constantly blow in the backyard (much to the annoyance of my neighbors) and after reading up on the subject and watching dozens of YouTube tutorials, it’s still taken me quite a few years to get the hang of it. Despite my duck-calling handicap, I still managed to get more than my fair share of birds.I didn’t do this by having someone call for me (at least not always), nor by recording the sounds of flying and feeding ducks and then playing it over a speaker,…

With the changing winds of politics, Second Amendment rights seem to be in a perpetual state of uncertainty, but it seems to be a safe bet that pistol-stabilizing braces are here to stay. Taurus is taking that bet by introducing the new-for-2025 GX4 Strike Bravo. The GX4 Strike Bravo takes Taurus’ GX4 Carry’s slide and fire control unit and places them in a purpose-built Strike Industries chassis. The GX4 Strike Bravo is a collaboration between Taurus and firearm accessory manufacturer Strike Industries. It is based around Taurus’ popular GX4 pistol, a striker-fired, polymer-frame, semi-automatic chambered in 9 mm Luger that…

I don’t know what it says about me as a person, but my first colony of dermestid beetles was a surprise Christmas gift. I was in the middle of my third trapping season and had my hands full cleaning piles of furbearer skulls for my Etsy store. Apparently, I made it clear that I wanted some little helpers to expedite the process for me.Dermestids are a family of beetles that feed on dead flesh and detritus. They thrive worldwide as part of nature’s clean-up crew, and they’re a saving grace for the busy taxidermist or bone collector. That holiday starter…

Just after World War I, a new semi-automatic pistol design emerged in Weimar Germany, and it became an immensely popular handgun both in Europe and the United States, despite having only been produced for a few short years. Watch our “American Rifleman Television” I Have This Old Gun segment above to learn the story of the Ortgies pistol, one of the forgotten handguns of the early 20th century. “The Ortgies pistol is one of those underappreciated handgun designs from the earlier 20th century, and it has a really pretty fascinating story behind it,” American Rifleman Executive Editor Evan Brune said.…
