Now that 2024 has finally arrived we all certainly have many big events to keep our eyes on as the year progresses. However, we want to remind people that one of the biggest topics of 2023, the public deployment of AI for common use, shouldn't be forgotten as new developments trend rapidly in other aspects of society this year. Specifically, there are now studies revealing how AI and data analytics may be used by military forces to improve how individual shooters perform at the range. These advancements, like many emerging technologies adopted by militaries in the past, can certainly aid civilian shooters as well.    

If you have the stomach for a little scientific writing, the following link should be clicked so that you can read about how AI may be something you embrace in the near future to better identify gaps in your firearms-handling skills and enhance your training with your favorite boomstick:  https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S221491472300051X

That final rule essentially established that pistol braces will eventually be treated by the Federal government as devices that convert firearms into SBRs, thereby requiring registration of the items under the NFA for legal possession. We wish to avoid repeating the legal analysis on this significant milestone since so many other American firearms advocates have already provided their keen perspectives and, instead, we want to put a spotlight on the history of why SBRs are even regulated by the ATF in the first place. To illuminate you on the story behind that historical development, we would like to link you to one of Forgotten Weapons many excellent videos...

Legislation

We all knew that sweeping anti-2nd Amendment legislation would be proposed after the outcome of the last Presidential election, but the sheer scale of H.R. 127 is still bewildering.
