Late last night, the U.S. House Judiciary Committee advanced flawed legislation that would ban the sale of commonly-owned rifles, shotguns, handguns and standard capacity magazines. In addition, the committee also approved legislation to repeal the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA) and to put law enforcement in danger by allowing the public release of sensitive law enforcement data on crime firearms.
Both bills could be voted on by the full House of Representatives as early as next week.
It is critical that you call your U.S. Representative today and urge a “NO” vote on H.R. 1808, the so-called “Assault Weapons Ban” of 2022, and H.R. 2814, the so-called “Equal Access to Justice for Victims of Gun Violence Act.”

Henry Repeating Arms Continues Silver Anniversary Pledge With $50,000 Donation to VFW
Henry Founder & CEO Discusses 40 Years in the Firearms Industry
Kansas City, Mo. – July 21, 2022 – As part of a $1,000,000 charitable pledge in honor of Henry Repeating Arms’ 25th anniversary, company president Andy Wickstrom presented a $50,000 check to Veterans of Foreign Wars Commander-In-Chief Matthew M. “Fritz” Mihelcic during Wednesday’s proceedings at the 123rd VFW National Convention in Kansas City.
“Henry Repeating Arms has been a longtime supporter of organizations that take care of our veterans, and no one does that better than the VFW,” says Wickstrom while addressing the crowd. In late 2016 Henry Repeating Arms partnered with the VFW to establish a fundraising program that would raise money on a national level and offer individual posts the opportunity to enhance their fundraising efforts. Other direct monetary contributions to the organization now total more than $150,000. Wickstrom continues, “We believe in the VFW’s mission and vision and respect its extraordinary accomplishments.”
Henry Repeating Arms CEO and Founder Anthony Imperato’s landmark Silver Anniversary pledge distributes under the company’s Guns For Great Causes banner, a philanthropic arm benefitting a wide variety of charities and non-profits, including children’s hospitals, organizations supporting military veterans, first responders, law enforcement, wildlife conservation, hunting and shooting sports education, and Second Amendment advocacy groups. A limited-edition Golden Boy Silver Anniversary edition rifle will be available online in the coming weeks, with 100% of the proceeds benefitting the charities supported by the Guns For Great Causes campaign. To be notified when this limited-edition rifle becomes available, visit Henry Repeating Arms online and sign up for the email newsletter.

ETI Tech Thursdays
Give us an hour of your time and we will help you understand the technologies DoD has identified as being critical to future military operations!
NDIA knows how hard it is for national security professionals to keep up with all of the technical advances happening in universities and research labs. All of us have heard of hypersonics, quantum science, and blockchain, but very few of us understand the science behind these technologies or how they could impact our professional lives.
Join NDIA and our Emerging Technologies Institute (ETI) for our new summer webinar series, Tech Thursdays, where we offer entry-level overviews of the science behind, and defense implications of, critical emerging technologies. No prior familiarity with the topic is required, and all NDIA, WID, and NTSA members are invited to attend.
Blockchain 101 with Dr. Ian Taylor, CTO and Co-Founder, SIMBA Chain
Thursday, July 21, 2022 | 1:00 pm EDT
Web3, and its underlying blockchain technology, promises to revolutionize the way we secure and transition assets across society, with some projecting that it could be as revolutionary as the internet was in the 1990s. In this talk, Dr. Ian Taylor will provide a background on the notion of distributed ledger technologies, including blockchain, and explain how they work and why they are different from centralized approaches. The presentation will then provide example usages of blockchain, starting with a simple cryptocurrency example, but then illustrating how blockchain can be used to support the transition of state for any digital (or physical) asset without using a central coordinator. The presentation will discuss the blockchain features that enable this vision and describe which problems blockchain is a good fit for. The presentation will then discuss the potential impact of blockchain across different industrial sectors, and then give several use case examples from practical commercial blockchain uses today. Finally, Dr. Taylor will present current use cases implemented in the DoD that aim to enable more efficiency for part tracking across the DoD and with OEM manufacturers.

The MSR remains the most-popular selling centerfire semiautomatic rifle in the United States today.
For immediate release | July 20, 2022
Commonly Owned: NSSF Announces Over 24 Million MSRs in Circulation
NEWTOWN, Conn. — NSSF®, the firearm industry trade association, updated the industry estimate of Modern Sporting Rifles (MSRs) in circulation in the United States to 24,446,000 since 1990. That is an increase of over 4.5 million rifles since the last estimate was released in 2020.
The estimate is derived from NSSF research, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) Annual Firearms Manufacturing and Exportation Report (AFMER) and U.S. International Trade Commission (U.S. ITC) data, in cooperation with manufacturers, importers and exporters of MSRs, or AR-15 and AK-style rifles. This most recent estimate includes production figures current through 2020, when the industry estimates over 2,798,000 of these rifles were produced or imported. This estimate does not include MSRs that were produced and exported or imported and later exported.
The MSR remains the most-popular selling centerfire semiautomatic rifle in the United States today. There are more MSRs in circulation today than there are Ford F-Series trucks on the road.
“This is a truly significant figure that demonstrates – again – the popularity of this commonly-owned style of rifle,” said NSSF President and CEO Joe Bartozzi. “The firearm industry responds to market demand and this shows that during the elevated period of firearm sales that began in 2020, this particular style of rifle is the top choice for law-abiding citizens for hunting, recreational shooting and self-defense.”
The MSR’s popularity for lawful ownership is attributable to several factors, including accuracy, reliability, modularity and low recoil.
About NSSF
NSSF is the trade association for the firearm industry. Its mission is to promote, protect and preserve hunting and the shooting sports. Formed in 1961, NSSF has a membership of thousands of manufacturers, distributors, firearm retailers, shooting ranges, sportsmen’s organizations and publishers nationwide.

Troy Ruiz Inducted into Mississippi Outdoor Hall of Fame
Decades of Work and Education in the Hunting Community Recognized
MADISON, Miss. – July 20, 2022 – Troy Ruiz, former host on The Truth About Hunting, was recently inducted into the Mississippi Outdoor Hall of Fame for his decades of work positively impacting the outdoor and hunting community in Mississippi and beyond. Remarks from Ruiz’ long-time friend and founder of Primos Hunting, Will Primos, were read at the ceremony.
“From the first time I met Troy, it was obvious he was passionate about the outdoors and would be going places,” Primos said. “No one works harder, anticipates better and can call better than Troy Ruiz! He can do it all with just his natural voice!”
Ruiz is best known for his career as a host on Primos Hunting’s The Truth About Hunting TV program. At the early age of nine, the deer hunting bug hit him, and Troy began taking pictures and video to share his experiences with friends and family. Troy’s love for the outdoors and sharing it with others motivated him throughout his career.
“Troy, you of all the people in the hunting world deserve this honor,” Primos said. “As far as that goes, you are not only a hall of famer in Mississippi, but you qualify for being a hall of famer in Canada, Africa, Alaska, Montana, New Mexico, California, Alabama, definitely Louisiana and every place in between.”
During the award presentation, Ruiz was joined by his wife, Belinda, and daughter, Shanna.
The mission of the Mississippi Wildlife Heritage Foundation, the nonprofit organization that organizes the museum, is to preserve the history, heritage and traditions of hunting, fishing and the great outdoors in Mississippi. To honor the people who have been a part of it and to educate the public on the vast natural resources of the great state of Mississippi. The museum chronicles the evolution of hunting and fishing in the state as well as the outdoor photographers and artists who have portrayed it.
About Primos Hunting
Primos Hunting, a Vista Outdoor brand, manufactures calls for elk, deer, turkey, predator and waterfowl as well as blinds, shooting accessories, game cameras, attractants and supplements, clothes, and other hunting accessories. Primos also produces the ever-popular video series “The TRUTH” and the television show “Primos’ TRUTH About Hunting.” For news and information, visit www.primos.com
Fisher Space Pen Takes Flight in ZERO-G Experience®
Boulder City, NV (July 20, 2022) – Headlines of the Los Angeles Herold-Examiner read, “Dream in 1948 Leads to ‘Perfect Inscribing Tool’ on Earth, in Space.” This article about Paul Fisher announced the vision of the Fisher Space Pen. Paul C. Fisher was a perfectionist, machinist, inventor, politician and screw and pen manufacturer. He improved Mr. Reynolds’s ballpoint pen and pressurized ink cartridge developed for the AG7 Anti-Gravity Pen.
On July 20, 1969, the Lunar Module Eagle from Apollo 11 landed at Tranquility Base. TV united the world on that historic day and will be remembered as long as humanity exists. This July 20, 2022, Fisher Space Pens commemorate the 53rd anniversary of the Apollo 11 lunar landing with style!
The ultimate proving ground for any invention is seeing it thrive in the environment for which it was made. Fisher Space Pens took a small crew to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, for some real-world experience with the Zero-Gravity Corporation. Seeing is believing as brothers Paul and Matt Fisher had the opportunity to experience weightlessness and use their grandfather’s invention. Along for the ride were members of The Chive media group and a camera crew, as they documented the hilarious and innovative experience to commemorate the anniversary of such a historical event.
It was a challenging experience, to say the least, as the airplane flies in parabolic arcs to create a weightless environment. Passengers were able to use the pens from all angles as they were lifted off the plane’s floor surface. The brothers could feel the connection to their grandfather’s creation, especially seeing the AG7 suspended as they floated, flipped and soared as if they were in space. Experiencing what was envisioned in the 1960s and testing them first-hand on the ZERO-G Experience® adds to the company’s legacy and the Fisher family name.
There is a Fisher Space Pen for everyone, wherever you may find yourself. Through the good times and recent pandemic hardship, founder Paul C. Fisher would be proud of how brothers Matt and Paul have taken the company to new heights. They carry their grandfather’s passion from a screw machine company, Fisher Armory, to Fisher Space Pens. They are, in fact, a product of the American dream!
Fisher Space Pen Co. is a 74-year-old American manufacturer of ballpoint pens, with the notable distinction of being the only ballpoint pen used on every crewed flight into space since Apollo 7 back in 1968 and most recently with SpaceX. While pressurized technology made it possible for NASA’s astronauts to write in space, it also provided writing capabilities in all-weather, underwater, over oil and grease and from -30 to +250 degrees Fahrenheit. These pens are the perfect tool for trade professionals, first responders, military, rugged outdoor enthusiasts, trekkers, backpackers, industrial manufacturers, underwater divers and anyone who values a pen that doesn’t fail.

To commemorate Wilson Combat’s 45th Anniversary of gunsmithing, we are bringing back a classic “retro” style that built the foundation of our business back in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Custom 1911 handguns of that period were rapidly evolving based on the needs of practical pistol shooters and Wilson Combat emerged as a leader in 1911 handgun customization by focusing on performing superior quality work at a fair price with a reasonable delivery time-those core values still drive our business today.
The 45th Anniversary 1911 handguns that we are building are very limited in nature and truly exceptional in cosmetics and quality. We have chosen to revert back to some of the classic custom touches we were known for like an upswept, retro grip safety, traditional Bo-Mar style adjustable rear sight with a staked ramp front, a retro Commander style hammer, Swenson-style ambidextrous thumb safety, and a coarsely serrated slide top reminiscent of the finest bespoke guns available to shooters at the time.
This custom 45th Anniversary model will dress out in a fully hand-polished deluxe blue finish with handcrafted, premium desert ironwood grips featuring a smooth finish that shows off its amazing grain and markings and logos will harken back to our early models, albeit with more modern cosmetics.
Timeless style combined with limited production and impeccable quality ensure the Wilson Combat 45th Anniversary edition will be an instant collectible and highly sought after for generations to come.
The TNVC-DISCO32 DISCUS is a TNVC Exclusive Tan 499 version only available at TNVC.

GA-ASI ADDS OPTIX CAPABILITIES TO STARE
Optix Brings Cloud-Based, Big Data Processing and Analytics to STARE’s Intel Picture
SAN DIEGO – 18 July 2022 – General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) has integrated the Optix platform into its System for Tasking And Real-Time Exploitation (STARE) system. Optix delivers cloud-based, big data processing and analytics to STARE, providing operators with a common operating picture by integrating and displaying wide area surveillance information gathered by GA-ASI Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA) and commercial space-based and terrestrial data sources.
The new Optix capabilities enable customers to easily task and direct Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) assets in real time, as well as to automatically identify and classify objects of interest using Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI/ML) techniques. In addition, it rapidly exploits and correlates data collected from RPA, commercial satellites, and other sources into an easily shared common operational picture (COP). Having multi-source correlated data enables automatic detection of anomalous behaviors, such as dark vessels, ship-to-ship transfers, and Economic Exclusive Zone violations.
“STARE improves user experience while decreasing personnel requirements,” said Darren Moe, senior director of Automation, Autonomy, and Artificial Intelligence (A3I) for GA-ASI. “The addition of Optix enables GA to help our customers more easily decipher and apply the vast amounts of sensor data produced by both government and commercial ISR platforms and accelerates the speed of decisions. This will ultimately save lives, secure resources, deter conflicts and give us safer conditions in any domain.”
STARE provides end users with actionable intelligence. When anomalous behaviors are detected from the AI/ML models, alerts will now be generated for the end user to evaluate; these alerts include spatio-temporal location, details of the anomaly, and data sources used by the detection. By automating the detections at scale, STARE decreases the number of people required to monitor and decipher all of the various feeds, while increasing the accuracy and delivery of critical intelligence to decision-makers.
Optix was developed by General Atomics’ Commonwealth Computer Research, Inc. (CCRi), a company GA acquired in 2021. It has been deployed in production environments globally, for both commercial and government related use cases. To learn more, check GA-CCRi’s website and https://optix.earth/
About GA-ASI
General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI), an affiliate of General Atomics, is a leading designer and manufacturer of proven, reliable remotely piloted aircraft (RPA) systems, radars, and electro-optic and related mission systems, including the Predator® RPA series and the Lynx® Multi-mode Radar.

Huk’s New Men’s A1A Pro Guide Pant Made By the Pros, Available for Everyone
Charleston, SC (July 19, 2022) – Long days on the water call for gear that is up for the adventure, and Huk’s new men’s A1A Pro Guide pants are designed to withstand anything anglers put them through. With input from guides and avid anglers around the country, the men’s A1A Pro Guide pants are packed with serious features for the most challenging days on the water.
“Pants that are tough enough to handle the abuse I put them through and are light enough for wear in the heat didn’t exist until now. The men’s A1A Pro Guide pants design is the best I have ever seen. They were built with a true fisherman in mind,” said Captain Nate, Islamorada, FL.
The men’s A1A Pro Guide pants are designed to be durable without giving up comfort and performance that anglers demand, whether poling a skiff or fighting the tarpon of a lifetime. The pants are made for all-day comfort on the water, constructed of 94% nylon for durability and 6% spandex for stretch and comfort. “The overall durability of these pants is insane. The patch on the side is perfect for poling the skiff when chasing tailing Reds,” said Captain Ervin, Charleston, SC. The abrasion-resistant fabric patch is strategically placed on the side of the pants to withstand the wear and tear of long days manning the push pole.
Functional design elements are evident in six feature-rich pocket designs. The pants have cargo and zippered side pockets with drainage grommets allowing anglers to store their tools and keep them dry. Two zippered rear pockets allow for extra security, and two hand pockets for any additional accessories anglers need to carry. The adjustable hem will eliminate your pants from dragging on the boat or at the dock.
The fabric features a durable water-repellent finish, keeping anglers cool and dry. These pants also feature an ever-adjusting waistband for those who enjoy a long lunch break waiting on the tide to turn. Rounding out the men’s A1A Pro Guide Pant is 50+ UPF for sun protection, a premium zipper fly front, and a gusseted crotch for mobility. Huk listened to their pros, and these A1A Pro Guide pants are the result.

US Marine Corps successfully tests Iron Dome based Air Defense Prototype
A major breakthrough for the US Marine Corps (USMC) integration of RAFAEL’s Iron Dome ground launcher and Tamir interceptor missile into Marine Corps’ Medium-Range Intercept Capability (MRIC) Prototype with the USMC G/ATOR Radar and CAC2S Battle Management System.
A live fire test at the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico proved:
1. USMC has Iron Dome defense capabilities
2. Iron Dome was successfully integrated into USMC Architecture
3. The system performed exactly as was predicted by a USMC simulation prior to the test itself.
“This demonstration proves that we do now have a relevant capability,” said Don Kelley, program manager for GBAD at PEO Land Systems, immediately following the successful test.
Brigadier General (Res.) Pinhas Yungman, Executive Vice President and Head of RAFAEL’s Air Defense Systems Directorate:
“Once again, RAFAEL’s systems have proven that they are capable of seamless, optimized integration with other defense systems. The Marines live-fire test demonstrated a successful combination of an Iron Dome ground launcher, Tamir interceptor with the Marines’ radar system and battle management system. This is an important and significant message for RAFAEL, for the Marines and the other customers in the United States and in the international market.”
Head of the IMDO in the Ministry of Defense, Mr. Moshe Patel:
“This test has proven the Iron Dome Tamir Interceptor and associated ground components can be integrated quickly and efficiently in any relevant defense architecture and intercept various aerial threats successfully in complex and advanced scenarios. We look forward to further partnerships with the US Armed Forces on Air and Missile Defense.”
Bond Arms-Rough Series Provides Ultimate Protection In Home Defense
Granbury, TX (July 18, 2022) – Quality is paramount when pursuing a concealable handgun for home defense at an affordable price. Along with the quality of a firearm, reliability is another must-have feature when protecting family, prized possessions, or faced with a life-or-death situation.
Bond Arms, the maker of award-winning handguns, is known for manufacturing budget-friendly guns that feature versatile functionality. The Bond Arms Rough Series comprises three compact handguns while still containing the same quality parts and materials gun owners appreciate from the brand. The Roughneck, Rowdy and Grizzly are not only great options for the range but also for defending your home.
The Bond Arms Rough Series showcases double-barreled handguns with stainless-steel barrels and frames. They are visually appealing and provide durability that lasts a lifetime. The Rough Series also features cross-bolt safety, a spring-loaded cam-lock lever, a rebounding hammer, and retracting firing pins. All three guns in the series have three-inch or less barrels, making them the perfect compact handgun for home defense use.
The Roughneck
The Roughneck is the ideal home defense weapon to keep safely stored for easy access. Built with a 2.5-in. barrel, the Roughneck can be stored or concealed virtually anywhere. The Roughneck is chambered in the popular 9mm, 357/38, or 45ACP. To allow the Roughneck to be easy to shoot for every gun owner, featured front sight and fixed rear sight are included. The compact Roughneck comes with a textured rubber grip to ensure that the handgun is held firmly in an adrenaline-filled home defense situation.
Roughneck Features:
Roughneck Specs:
The Rough N Rowdy
Still compact enough to be concealed or stored, the Rowdy is more prominent in size, measuring 5-in. long, with a 3-in. barrel. It is also chambered in a more powerful, .45 long colt and 2 ½-in. .410 bore shotshells, giving the shooter a sense of protection when needed for home defense. The Rough N Rowdy features a blade front sight and a rear sight that mount directly onto the barrel for easy shooting.

The Grizzly is the more stylish gun of the three in the Rough Series. With a 3-in. barrel, the Grizzly is still compact enough for home defense use. The Grizzly does not lack power, being chambered in a .45 Long Colt or a .410, which can shoot 2 ½-in. shotshells. The Grizzly is ideal for defending the most valuable possessions and other home defense needs.
With a fancier look, the Grizzly features a beautiful rosewood grip engraved with a grizzly bear on the side. For more character, the Grizzly features the Bond Arms name and a checkered panel to add texture. A matching Grizzly engraved leather holster is included to keep the Grizzly protected and within easy reach.
Grizzly Features:
Grizzly Specs:
BOND ARMS, INC. is located in Granbury, Texas and manufactures the award-winning Bond Arms Derringer – the finest in double barrel protection. Originally organized under the name Texas Armory, the company became incorporated as Bond Arms in 1995 with the idea that the Remington Model 95 over-under, single-action derringer could be converted from an Old West anachronism into a modern & reliable handgun. The barrel and frame were redesigned to safely fire modern calibers & the entire handgun is constructed entirely from stainless steel. This makes for a pistol that’s both strong and durable.

Attention to Detail: The Key to Finishing AG Composites
Best-in-Class Rifle Stocks
OWENS CROSS ROADS, Ala. (July18, 2022) — The most successful college basketball coach of all time, UCLA’s John Wooden, once said, “It’s the little details that are vital. Little things make big things happen.” Such is the philosophy of AG Composites’ highly skilled Stock Finisher, Blake Williams. An extremely difficult job that requires painstaking attention to detail, former U.S. Marine Williams has taken the position to a whole new level.
“My job as the Finish Technician makes me responsible for preparing rifle stocks to be painted and/or camouflaged,” Williams said. “It’s a job that requires a high level of attention to detail. By using a variety of hand tools and approved filler materials, I first look at each stock we produce to identify any blemishes or cosmetic defects. My goal is to repair the defect in a way that it will not be visible and cannot be felt when the stock is completed. The finished stock is then inspected by the quality control team, who will either pass or fail it. Should it fail, the technician and I will address the issues, fix them and turn it back in to be inspected again.”
Williams has been with AG Composites for four years. “I love working here,” Williams said. “We have a great team that is dedicated to making the best quality stocks in the business. The owners take great care of the employees and the company itself.”
Williams has been a shooter since early childhood when he got his first .22. and became a much more avid firearm enthusiast while in the Marines. He became familiar with AG Composites through a fellow Marine when he was working for a local moving company and doing some firearm refinishing and custom work on the side.
“I have always believed in hiring great people then giving them the freedom to do their job without micromanaging them,” said AG Composites owner Matt Tandy. “Blake is a huge asset to AG Composites. He is dedicated to his work, takes time during his day to teach employees, and is always thinking of ways to improve our product and process. While doing all this, he has fun and is a source of motivation. We are truly glad he is part of the AG team.”

NSSF Fires Back at Gun Control’s Attempts to Chill First Amendment Rights
NEWTOWN, Conn. — NSSF®, the firearm industry trade association, defended the First Amendment rights of firearm manufacturers in a letter to the Federal Trade Commission’s (FTC) Bureau of Consumer Protection Director Samuel Levine. The letter was in response to several complaints by special-interest gun control groups falsely accusing NSSF members of violating the Federal Trade Commission Act. These attacks are nothing short of well-financed, special-interest gun control groups attempting to limit the First Amendment rights of firearm manufacturers to advertise lawful products.
Letters have been sent the FTC by gun control groups Everytown for Gun Safety, The Brady Campaign, Giffords Law Center and similar special-interest groups.
“These gun control groups are not content in attacking and denying one Constitutional right. They are now bent on attacking another,” said Lawrence G. Keane, NSSF Senior Vice President and General Counsel. “These groups are attempting to abuse the levers of government to deny the right to advertise a lawful product even as they use those same complaints as fundraising tools. This is a disgusting attempt to twist the role of a federal agency as a neutral arbiter to one that uses the weight of federal authority to deny not one, but two Constitutionally-protected rights.
“The NSSF is compelled by our duty to our members and our respect for the Constitution to stand against, and call out, such egregious manipulation of federal regulations by these groups,” Keane added. “Their disdain for the Second Amendment does not give them the right to infringe on the First Amendment rights of our members and others with whom they disagree.”
The FTC is an independent agency of the U.S. government. As such, it must zealously guard against political activists attempting to bend the authority of that office to advance special-interest agendas.
The groups are attempting to sway the FTC to sweep aside Constitutional protections as a “technical obstacle” to do their bidding. They wrongly claim that firearms are not used for self-defense, a claim that is disproven nearly daily in routine media reporting. They denigrate and devalue the importance of law-abiding adults instructing youth on safe and proper firearm handling and use. The groups argue that firearms are dangerous and the FTC should use its role to deprive citizens the right to protect themselves because of this. The fact is that firearms are a unique tool capable of helping individuals protect themselves because it is dangerous to attackers. That argument was settled at the nation’s founding.
About NSSF
NSSF is the trade association for the firearm industry. Its mission is to promote, protect and preserve hunting and the shooting sports. Formed in 1961, NSSF has a membership of thousands of manufacturers, distributors, firearm retailers, shooting ranges, sportsmen’s organizations and publishers nationwide.
