Here are links I found of recent news concerning the topic:
1) Vista Outdoor sells CCI, Federal, HEVI-Shot, Remington and Speer to Czechoslovak Group (CSG), a Czechoslovakian company:
(CSG also owns MANY other, unrelated, companies, including Prague Fertility Centre) (https://czechoslovakgroup.cz/companies):
2) Fiocchi sold 70% of its company to same Czechoslovak Group company (CSG) as did Vista Outdoors (11/22):
3) Explosion at Hornady:
(The size of the explosion is unclear as is if/how this will impact production, but it highlights how critical the remaining American-owned ammo makers are.)
4) Palmetto State Armory (South Carolina-based company) making America's Ammunition Company (AAC) ammo:
5) Russian Ammo Ban (2021):
6) Colt and Dan Wesson sold to Česká zbrojovka Group  (...April 2022...changed its name...to Colt CZ..."):
"In May 2021, the Group acquired a 100% stake in Colt Holding Company LLC, the parent company of the US arms manufacturer Colt, as well as its Canadian subsidiary Colt Canada."
7) Colt CZ buys Swiss ammo company:
"Its products are marketed and sold mainly under the Colt, CZ (Česká zbrojovka), Colt Canada, CZ-USA, Dan Wesson and 4M Systems brands. The Group includes companies such as Colt, Česká zbrojovka, Colt Canada, CZ-USA, 4M Systems, Spuhr i Dalby, swissAA and Colt CZ Defence Solutions.
In October 2020, the Group completed public offering of its shares on the Prague Stock Exchange. In May 2021, the Group acquired a 100% stake in Colt Holding Company LLC, the parent company of the US arms manufacturer Colt, as well as its Canadian subsidiary Colt Canada. 
In April 2022, the Group changed its name from CZG - Česká zbrojovka Group SE to Colt CZ Group SE to reflect the expansion and integration of the Group and to emphasize the importance of both key brands, Colt and CZ (Česká zbrojovka).
Colt CZ Group is headquartered in the Czech Republic and employs more than 2,000 people in its production facilities in the Czech Republic, the United States, Canada, Sweden, Switzerland, and Hungary.

Is Mel Gibson 'tooled up' on liberty as well as guns?

(Reposted from  http://www.examiner.com/x-1417-Gun-Rights-Examiner~y2010m1d27-Is-Mel-Gibson-tooled-up-on-liberty-as-well-as-guns ) January 27, 2010 7:32 AM Gun Rights Examiner David Codrea ) Edge of Darkness  star Mel Gibson has a gun. That's apparently a newsworthy tidbit for followers of celebrity tabloid gossipmongers.  Showbiz Spy's  Richard Head  tells readers  Gibson "has admitted he has a dangerous weapon hidden away in his home in case an intruder breaks in during the night and puts his family’s lives at risk." The 54-year-old actor insists there is nothing unusual about his outlook, as in modern society, times have changed to the extent where people need to be 'tooled up' with weapons to defend themselves, their loved-ones and their homes.

It's hardly news though...

I won't waste any language further describing the attack, I'm confident you're aware of it.

There is no place in the USA for victim disarmament policies, but *especially* not on military bases. Back in 2015, you volunteered this pledge to Fredy Riehl of AmmoLand.com: "As Commander-in-Chief, I would mandate that soldiers remain armed and on alert at our military bases. President Clinton never should have passed a ban on soldiers being able to protect themselves on bases. America’s Armed Forces will be armed. They will be able to defend the...

 Reposted from  July 17, 2018 This is what they want for everyone who supports Trump’s pledged agenda. And these are the same people that support citizen disarmament. (Twitter/Facebook) “An art gallery in Portland, Oregon, has been criticized for displaying a piece of artwork on the window that depicts President Donald Trump’s throat being cut with a knife with the words ‘F**k Trump’ inscribed underneath,”  Newsweek reported Tuesday . “The One Grand Gallery located at 1000 E Burnside Street in Portland, Oregon has a decal of Trump being slashed in the throat with a knife on its window. The photo of the artwork surfaced on Twitter on Tuesday, with many people slamming the gallery for posting the violent image.” The piece has since been taken down by “a man who identified himself as the One Grand Gallery’s founder, who refused to give his name and hid his face,”  Fox 12 Oregon reports . “[P]eople that are responding, are responding with such anger and violence,” the co...
