Anything you could want to know about guns or related subjects (It's like Wikipedia for your boomstick)
- 5,722 pages as of Thursday, October 31, 2024.
If it's about guns, gun rights, gun grabbers or any other related subject, sooner or later it's going to be here. Whether it's sniper rifles, shotguns, WWII arms, ammunition or anything else, we're out there scrounging up anything and everything that we can find. Yes, this is something of an ambitious (some would say impossible) project but we're not quitting until we have it all in one place. Have a look around and see some of what our contributors have put together so far.
Featured Article
OOPS!

Well, this is embarrassing.

We don't seem to have an article of the day for this date. Maybe you could help us out and make or suggest one.
(It's fun! trust us.)

What else happened today
  • 1871 — George R. Stetson’s U.S. Patent 120403 is assigned to the Winchester Repeating Arms Company. It improved the .44 Henry cartridge by using swaged and lubricated projectiles of more precise shape.
  • 2005 — The US Army outright cancels the OICW (Objective Individual Combat Weapon) program, saying only that "This action has been taken in order for the Army to reevaluate its priorities for small caliber weapons, and to incorporate emerging requirements identified during Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom. The Government will also incorporate studies looking into current capability gaps during said reevaluation."
  • 2008 — The remainder of the Public Agents Firearms Regulations came into force in Canada. Police and other government agencies that use or hold firearms were required to report all firearms in their temporary or permanent possession.
  • Today is Halloween. You can dress up as a job and scare the hell out of your lazy brother-in-law.

Food for thought
If gun laws in fact worked, the sponsors of this type of legislation should have no difficulty drawing upon long lists of examples of crime rates reduced by such legislation. That they cannot do so after a century and a half of trying -- that they must sweep under the rug the southern attempts at gun control in the 1870-1910 period, the northeastern attempts in the 1920-1939 period, and the attempts at both Federal and State levels in 1965-1976 -- establishes the repeated, complete, and inevitable failure of gun laws to control serious crime.
- Senator Orrin Hatch, Chairman of the Senate Subcomittee on the Constitution (The Making of America, p.695)

John Bell Blish (September 8, 1860 - December 22, 1921) Known mostly for inventing the Blish lock, used in the Thompson submachine gun. Blish licensed the patent for his lock to the Auto-Ordnance Corporation in 1915 in trade for company stock.

Blish was buried at Arlington National Cemetery.
