Today several people were stabbed at Lone Star College in Houston Texas. We would like to take this time to talk about concealed handguns and the ability for both licensees and teachers or faculty at schools in Texas to legally carry firearms. Please watch the video below. Thanks for viewing our blog!

We just got word from one of our largest distributors that Federal Ammunition will be increasing their pricing this week. We wish this was an April fools joke, but looks like more fact than fiction.

The proposed increase is as follows:

• RIFLE + 15%,
• RIMFIRE + 10%
• SHOTGUN + 5%
• HANDGUN + 5%
• ALL OTHER + 3%

We normally see a 3% price increase around the start of each year, but hopefully the larger increase this time will result in a higher production yield for Federal Ammunition.

 As state and local jurisdictions are increasingly passing laws which infringe upon the Second Amendment of the US Constitution, www.texasgunblog.com is implementing a new policy on shipping restricted items to these states and localities.

Effective immediately, laws that restrict firearms, ammunition, or magazine possession by law abiding citizens will also be applied to state and local law enforcement and government agencies in that jurisdiction. All residents will be treated equally. Honorable citizens, law enforcement personnel, and government agents, should all be allowed to utilize the most effective defensive equipment available.

Texas Gun Blog believes that there should not be a difference between the rights of citizens and those of government employees. This new policy will also help us to be sure we avoid the consequences of not conforming with the anti-firearm regulations in these various jurisdictions.

We expect to lose some revenue from government purchases, however we feel it is essential to defend the US Constitution by making a statement about the importance of the Second Amendment in maintaining our freedoms.

We await the day when all law abiding citizens will be able to possess the most effective means and tools available for self-defense regardless of where they live or for whom they work.

PRODUCT WARNING AND RECALL NOTICE

The history of the Star MMS Pistol is not published anywhere we can find on the internet. We are working to provide the story behind this very rare model of Spanish 1911 “clone”.

The Star pistol factory was known for producing a pistol similar to the Colt 1911 45ACP, only chambering it in calibers other than 45ACP (illegal in Mexico as it is a Military Caliber).

Star Pistols have become very popular among shooters over the years for their reliability and accuracy. The MMS is a very scarce example, and is chambered in 7.63 or 30 Mauser.

Much like the Mauser C96 Broomhandle pistol (Also chambered in 30 Mauser) The MMS has a detachable buttstock that also serves as a Holster. This example does not have the leather strap that would have accompanied the holster and allowed for wear on the leg/hip.

We hope you have enjoyed this peice of history, we have it currently on auction and any interested parties are recommended to contact us directly about this pistol.

Feinstein Introduces Massive Semi-Auto Firearm and Magazine Ban

On Jan. 24, Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) introduced S. 150, her long-anticipated bill to ban “assault weapons” and “large” magazines. Contrary to media claims that Feinstein wants to “reinstate” the 1994 ban, the bill will go much further toward her stated long-term goal of gun confiscation, imposing a host of absurdly broad definitions and onerous restrictions:
Ban the sale, transfer, manufacture or importation of 157 named firearms. Presumably, these were chosen by looking at pictures, as Sen. Feinstein has said she did before introducing her first legislation on the issue in 1993.

Ban all semi-automatic rifles that can accept a detachable magazine. This is because the bill would ban any semi-automatic detachable-magazine rifle that has even one “feature,” particularly a pistol grip—which is defined to include any “characteristic that can function as a grip.” Other features that would cause a rifle to be banned include a forward grip; folding, telescoping, or detachable stock; grenade launcher or (as an absurd propaganda move) rocket launcher; barrel shroud; or a threaded barrel.

Ban all detachable-magazine semi-auto pistols that have any of the following: a threaded barrel, second pistol grip, or magazine that mounts anywhere other than the grip. The bill would also ban any handgun that is a semi-automatic version of a fully automatic handgun.

Ban all semi-automatic rifles and handguns that have fixed magazines that accept more then 10 rounds.

Ban all semi-automatic shotguns that have just one of the following: a folding, telescoping, or detachable stock; a pistol grip; a fixed magazine that can accept more than five rounds, a detachable magazine; a forward grip; a revolving cylinder; or a grenade or rocket launcher. As with the rifle provision, this could potentially ban any semi-auto shotgun, because all of them have “characteristics that can function as a grip.” And of course, countless Americans have pistol-grip shotguns for home defense.

Ban all belt-fed semi-automatic firearms, such as semi-auto replicas of historic machine guns.

Ban all frames or receivers of banned guns, even though in many cases they are identical to the frames and receivers of guns that would not be banned.

Ban “combinations of parts” from which “assault weapons” can be assembled. Read broadly, this could ban the acquisition of a single spare part that could be combined with parts you already own.

Ban any “part, combination of parts, component, device, attachment, or accessory that is designed or functions to accelerate the rate of fire of a semiautomatic rifle”–a vague definition that could ban items such as competition trigger parts.

Ban the sale or transfer of all ammunition feeding devices that hold more than ten rounds. Even those lawfully possessed before passage of the bill could never be transferred, even to your heirs through a will.

Though not requiring registration of currently owned firearms under the National Firearms Act (as Feinstein threatened in December), the new bill would go far beyond the failed 1994 semi-auto ban by requiring background checks on the private transfer of any “grandfathered” firearm.

Finally, unlike the 1994 ban, the new bill will not include an automatic “sunset” clause, so it would remain in effect unless repealed.

In announcing the bill, Feinstein misrepresented the effectiveness of past semi-auto bans. For example, she claimed that Maryland’s “assault pistol” ban had reduced crime. But in Maryland, the murder trend after the state passed its ban on so-called “assault pistols” was far worse than in the rest of the country. Similarly, in California, during the first five years after passage of the state’s 1989 “assault weapon” ban, the state’s murder rate increased 26 percent, compared to an 11 percent increase in the rest of the country. During the first five years after California expanded the ban starting in 2000, the state’s murder rate increased 10 percent, compared to a six percent decrease in the rest of country.

Feinstein also misrepresented the findings of a congressionally mandated study completed by Jeffrey Roth and Christopher Koper for the Urban Institute.

In the handouts provided by her office, Feinstein claimed the report said “Assault weapons are disproportionately involved in murders with multiple victims, multiple wounds per victim, and police officers as victims.” But here’s what the report really found:

“Some of our own analyses added evidence that assault weapons are disproportionately involved in murders with multiple victims, multiple wounds per victim, and police officers as victims” (emphasis added), but “We were unable to detect any reduction to date in two types of gun murders that are thought to be closely associated with assault weapons, those with multiple victims in a single incident and those producing multiple bullet wounds per victim. We did find a reduction in killings of police officers since mid-1995. However, the available data are partial and preliminary, and the trends may have been influenced by law enforcement agency policies regarding bullet-proof vests.”

The misuse and misinterpretation of study findings has become a common tactic of anti-gun politicians because they know that the 1994 ban had no real impact on crime. In one of the frequent moments of candor that make his allies cringe, Vice-President Biden admitted as much in an online forum Jan. 24, saying, “[I]t is true that the vast majority of gun deaths in America are not a consequence of the use of an assault weapon” and that a ban “is not an answer to all the problems.” Nonetheless, Biden claimed the ban is a “rational limitation” because in his opinion, people concerned about self-defense should just use double-barreled shotguns anyway.

Despite advice like this, Americans have voted with their pocketbooks, buying about 50 million semi-automatic firearms–including nearly 4 million AR-15 rifles–since 1991. And, since the Supreme Court said in District of Columbia v. Heller that a handgun ban was unconstitutional in part because “handguns are the most popular weapon chosen by Americans for self-defense in the home,” popular rifles should be just as firmly protected.

Dear fellow Patriot, My jaw hit the floor. After reading Senator Dianne Feinstein’s new so-called “Assault Weapons” Ban, I can only describe this radical scheme as the effective END of the Second Amendment in America. The gun-grabbers are going for broke, doing everything they can to “cash in” on the recent tragedy in Newtown, Connecticut. They’re targeting EVERYTHING – rifles, shotguns and even handguns – and every gun owner and gun purchase is to be catalogued and tracked by the federal government. That’s why it’s absolutely critical you act IMMEDIATELY. As you’ll see, I’ve enclosed a special Emergency Second Amendment Protection Directive INSISTING your Representative and Senators vote against this radical scheme. Won’t you please sign it TODAY?  There’s no time to waste. President Obama’s Administration is announcing it will “push forward quickly” on gun control — and Vice President Joe Biden is promising it will be a “done deal” in a matter of weeks! If passed, Feinstein’s Gun Ban would:*** Ban the sale, transfer, importation, and manufacturing of 120 specifically named rifles, shotguns and handguns! *** Ban the sale, transfer, importation and manufacturing of ALL firearms with a detachable magazine and at least one “military characteristic” –which could mean just about anything that makes a gun “look scary;”

*** Ban the sale, transfer, importation, and manufacturing of magazines holding more than 10 rounds;

*** Force owners of ALL “grandfathered” weapons to undergo an intrusive background check and fingerprinting – treating law-abiding citizens like criminals;

*** Force owners of ALL “grandfathered” weapons to federally register their guns after obtaining a permission slip from local law enforcement showing their guns are not in violation of state or local law.That’s right.  If you own a $10 magazine that’s more than 10 rounds, you’ll have to register it with the BATFE in their National Firearms Registry.

The ban on “transfers” means you and I can forget about ever handing down one of these guns to our kids and grandkids.

Worse, it could mean widows become instant felons if their husbands owned one of these banned magazines or firearms!

Then Senator Feinstein will be able to achieve her publicly stated goal:

“Mr. and Mrs. America, turn ‘em all in.”

I can hardly even think about what a DISASTER for our country it would be should President Obama, Senator Feinstein and their anti-gun pals succeed in ramming this monstrosity down our throats.

This is exactly the WRONG move for our country — for our liberties and for our safety.

Now I know THAT’S something you’re not hearing from the anti-gun propagandists in the national media.

But the truth is, increasing gun sales in America in recent years has led to lower crime rates.

The same is true all over the world.

Studies show countries with low rates of civilian firearms ownership are the most violent.  Countries with high rates of civilian firearms ownership are the safest.

Just look to nearby Mexico if you want to see an example of the gun-grabbers’ idea of utopia.  Effectively ruled by violent drug gangs in many areas, many parts of Mexico are cesspools of rape, violence and murder.

If you and I want to keep the Second Amendment freedoms we’re so blessed to enjoy as American citizens, it’s absolutely CRITICAL you and I act IMMEDIATELY.

That’s why I’ve agreed to help the National Association for Gun Rights fight back to stop this Gun Ban and help lead the fight AGAINST the gun-grabbers.

They’re tough.  They’re principled.  And they know how to win.

They know the ONLY way you and I win this fight is if my colleagues here in Congress understand that voting for gun control will mean the END of their political careers . . .

And they’re busy mobilizing pro-gun Americans all over the country to make sure Congress gets that message loud and clear.

Won’t you please sign it TODAY?

To defeat this radical scheme, the National Association for Gun Rights is going to have to pull out all the stops to alert and mobilize Second Amendment supporters all over the country.

Direct mail.  Phones.  Email.  Blogs.  Guest editorials.  Press conferences.  Hard-hitting internet, newspaper, radio and even TV ads if funding permits.  The whole nine yards.

Of course, a program of this scale is only possible if the National Association for Gun Rights can raise the money.

But that’s not easy, and we may not have much time.

In fact, if gun owners are going to defeat Feinstein’s Gun Ban, pro-gun Americans like you and me have to get involved NOW!

So please put yourself on record AGAINST the Feinstein’s Gun Ban by signing NAGR’sEmergency Second Amendment Protection Directive.

But along with your signed Directive, please agree to make a generous contribution of $250, $100, $50 or even just $35.

And every dollar counts in this fight so even if you can only chip in $10 or $20, it will make a difference.

Thank you in advance for your time and money devoted to defending our Second Amendment rights.

For Freedom,

Rand Paul
United States Senator

P.S. The gun-grabbers are going for broke.

My jaw hit the floor reading the list of anti-gun provisions in Senator Dianne Feinstein’s (D-CA) new Gun Ban.

I can only describe this radical scheme as the effective END of the Second Amendment in America.

And time is running out to stop them.

Please sign your Emergency Second Amendment Protection Directive and put yourself squarely on the record AGAINST the Feinstein’s Gun Ban.

And if you can, please make a generous contribution to the National Association for Gun Rights of $250, $150, $100 or even just $35 right away!

And every dollar counts in this fight so even if you can only chip in $10 or $20, it will make a difference.
