Tucson Guns Newsletter July 2017

This action displayed their dedication to the cause of American independence and was the ultimate disloyalty to King George the Third. Until the Declaration of Independence, Washington, Jefferson, Adams and the others only disagreed with Parliament, not the Crown. This document is important because it marks the revolutionaries' acknowledgment that the corruption of the English government was not contained within the Parliament, but extended all the way up to the King; it marked the point of no return: either the revolutionaries were going to gain their independence from England and create a new country, or they were going to lose the war to the best army in the world, forfeit everything they owned, ruin their families, be charged with High Treason, and be hung or drawn and quartered.      The Declaration laid out the values on which this country would be based: that every person had certain inherent rights including life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. 241 years later our system of government still exists.     Those brave 56 men sacrificed everything to revolt against the tyranny of England. Over half of them didn't survive the war or lost their families as a result of signing the Declaration. So fly the American Flag, eat some apple pie, and watch some fireworks. Just remember why we celebrate on this day...                                                                                        NEXT AZ CCW CLASS August 12, 2017   Did you know that Tucson Guns teaches AZ CCW classes?

But Thomas, in a dissent joined by Gorsuch, countered that the case raises "important questions" – and warned that Second Amendment disputes aren't getting the attention they deserve from the Supreme Court. The case in question involved a San Diego man who said state and county policies requiring "good cause" -- a specific reason or justifiable need to legally carry a concealed weapon -- were too restrictive. A federal appeals court had ruled for the state, and now those restrictions will stay in place Binderup vs Sessions The nation's high court on Monday let stand a ruling against the government in the combined cases of two men blocked from gun possession after run-ins that resulted in convictions for non-serious crimes. The Gun Control Act of 1968, codified at 18 U.S.C. § 922 states that anyone that is under indictment for, or has been convicted in any court of, a crime punishable by imprisonment for a term exceeding one year is prohibited from possessing firearms or ammunition.  The decision to not hear the case lets a 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Pennsylvania ruling stand in which the court ruled 8-7, siding with Binerup and Suarez. In the end, that panel cited the relatively minor sentences passed on the two men as the reason to disregard their crimes as being serious enough to void their gun rights.   NEW PRODUCTS OD Glocks are back!

The S.D.S. (Stealth Defense System) is the answer we provided. It includes the best of several of our models, enhanced with a 4 1/16" version of the hand-fit, heavy-flanged cone match-grade barrel pioneered on our Tactical Elite, and a frame shortened by ½" with 7-round capacity. The slide length is reduced by a full inch from a standard-length 1911, giving you a speed advantage in target acquisition with the shorter sighting plane. The shorter frame S.D.S. with the accompanying short slide gives you the maximum concealability available with outstanding accuracy and successive shot recovery. Many shooters find the S.D.S's near perfect balance and controllability exceeds many pistols with 5" barrels.
