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. Colt CZ is owned by Česká zbrojovka Partners SE from 76.2%, with the remaining 23.8% being a free float."

Open Letter to President Trump on Military Base Victim Disarmament

Shared via email by WarOnGuns Correspondent CDT : Dear President Trump: This past Thursday, there was a spree shooting at Fort Stewart, exacerbated by the fact that none of the servicemen in a position to control the shooter were armed. I won't waste any language further describing the attack, I'm confident you're aware of it. There have been seven other spree shootings with this same profile since 2009, all made possible by President Clinton's ban on soldiers carrying arms inside military bases (DOD Directive 5210.56). 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...

ACLU (Arms-Confiscating Lies Unmasked)

Image
David Codrea Originally published on  GunTruths.com  (1999)   American Civil Liberties Union of Southern California Executive Director Ramona Ripston claims the 2nd Amendment does not guarantee an individual right to keep and bear arms, but rather, was only intended to provide for the right of states to maintain a militia. I challenged her to prove this. Since her position was based on the concept of original intent, my challenge centered on that issue, i.e., I asked her to provide evidence based on writings from America's Revolutionary era to substantiate her claim. The following is her response: Dear Mr. Codrea: As you requested, I am enclosing copies of information the ACLU of Southern California has published on the Second Amendment. Sincerely, Ramona Ripston Executive Director encl. Enclosure #1 is a fold-out brochure claiming "When the founders of the United States of America (inset portraits of Jefferson and Madison) wrote the Second Amendment...(photo of semiautom...

  David, Congratulations! Your name has been submitted to the NRA Honors Committee for membership in the Golden Eagles and to receive one of our highest honors: The NRA National Patriot’s Medal. This prestigious award – originally commissioned to recognize Charlton Heston’s unwavering leadership during his time as NRA President – is reserved only for the most devoted defenders of American freedom. And your name has been submitted in recognition of your courage, your conviction, and your lifetime of service to the Second Amendment. Let me be clear.

It’s why I’m proud to present this honor to you and invite you to accept it by becoming a Golden Eagle today. By accepting the honor of the National Patriot’s Med...
