Today was a spectacular day for the Second Amendment with the defeat of the Universal Background Check bill and the Assault Weapons Ban, however we are a long ways from this fight being over. For those of you who watched the press conference that Obama held you know that the Anti-Gunners only see this as "the first round", in their minds this battle is not over and we need to make sure to keep the same mentality. We must stay vigilant and aware, now is not the time to become complacent and become caught off guard.
I am sure over the next few months we will see more bills being written trying to dismantle our second amendment rights, most will be the same as we have already seen just reworded and with added "sweeteners" to mask what the bills actually are. We need to make sure to keep the pressure on our legislators and make sure that they understand that their elections are on the line and voting to restrict our rights is means for them to lose their positions.
If you aren't registered to vote make sure that you get your registration in and make your voices heard. Don't buy into the lies that your votes do not count, your vote is your voice and right now we need to continue to make our voices heard.

Good 80% Lower Finishing Sites
Here are just a few websites that I have found that have info to help you finish your 80% lower if you decide to order one from www.FealtyArms.com
Here is a website that you can get the majority if not all of the tooling that you will need to complete the job. I will say that it is best if you order multiple lowers to spread the cost of the tooling between them, yes the Jigs aren't cheap but you are having the lower shipped directly to you so there is no dealing with an FFL.
http://www.cncguns.com/tooling.html
Here is a good tutorial for doing the 80% lowers, like with any other firearms build it is important to take your time, read and re read the instructions, and be patient while doing the work. Taking your time will make a big difference in the quality of the end product that you are making.

And of course Monderno did a great write up with a video attached to it also, I highly suggest to head over there and check it out.

Ammo Shortage and Range Time
I am sure that many of you have felt the pain of walking into your local sporting goods shop in search of a couple boxes of ammo, only to find the shelves barren and more than likely littered with cobwebs. I know for myself it has been months, probably since January since I have seen ammo other than 7mm, 30-06, and 12ga on the shelves at our local Walmart. Even worse is walking into the local gun shop (who is already overpriced) and seeing boxes of .22LR for $20 for a box of 50, or .223 for $25 per box of 20.
It seems that you really have to be willing to pay the ridiculous prices to be able to head out to the range and shoot or you have to really limit the use of the ammo that you currently have when you head out to the range. I know for myself personally it hurts every time I have to go and dig into my ammo boxes and take some out of my "stash", yet at the same time I am glad that I got into reloading when I did and had purchased as many supplies as I could to at least hold me over until this "shortage" is over.
So the question is how can you stay "proficient" with your Carry or Home Defense guns during this time where it seems that it is nearly impossible to find ammo?
In doing some research I have found a few good training ideas and have linked them below.

Stretching your training ammo budget (courtesy of the gun writer)
Improving your shooting skills without spending a fortune on ammo (courtesy Survival Blog)
These are just a few sites that I had found, each had some great information for how to conserve ammo while staying proficient with your firearm. I am sure that at some point in the future we will be seeing ammo slowly creep back onto the shelves of Walmart and local sporting goods shops, but for now sacrifices have to be made while continuing to train.
What are some of the drills that you guys and gals use to stay proficient while limiting the amount of ammo that you are using in your training time at the range?

Defeatist Attitude
Alright everyone lately while I have been scanning through the various Pro 2A Facebook pages and websites there is one common thing I have been seeing, and that is the Defeatist Attitude. You all know what I am talking about, that attitude that because certain states have passed the most ridiculous gun laws to date, we are losing the battle for our rights and there is nothing that can be done about it.
Seriously I have seen this more times than I would like to count, and this is not something we should be seeing. Gun owners have never been ones to roll over and give up easily, they keep fighting until they have accomplished what they set out to do.
There are many ways that the states that have passed these ridiculous gun laws will suffer in the long run, as we have seen in the feeds Magpul, Beretta, and Colt are leaving the states that they are currently in. Now think about that, think about how much tax revenue that will pull from those states, also think about how unemployment will go up, or even the population of tax paying workers will go down once these companies leave.
Sure the gun control bills will continue to come forward and some will get by because of lies that they public is being fed daily, but that doesn't mean we should give up. That's not the American Patriot's way, it has never been that way, so why are we starting now?
Keep up the good fight, keep the pressure on your legislators, and if you in Occupied Territory do whatever you can to either move or help push Pro 2A bills forward.

Fealty Arms 80% Lowers
Not sure how many of you have thought about doing your AR-15 from an 80% lower, I know for myself this is an idea that I have tossed around for a bit but haven't really acted on it. There are a few reasons for that, first getting all of the items that I would need to do it were out of reach due to funding and what not, and second at the time that I had thought about there were plenty of lowers available for under $145 (including shipping and transfer fees). However now that we are seeing a drought on parts and lowers that are in the affordable range it is looking like it might be a good time to make one from an 80% lower.
Most of the 80% lowers I have been seeing have been in the price range over $150, which I understand because there is no need to send it to an FFL because it hasn't been finished so there is no need to do transfer paperwork. Yes this is 100% legal because as determined by the firearms technology branch of the ATF, this lower receiver is not classified as a “firearm” as defined by the GCA of 1968.
Yes it requires some finishing to make the lower ready to build into a complete lower, but the time spent really learning the basics of what it takes to build your AR from the ground up are extremely valuable, plus you get the pride and satisfaction knowing that you took that lower from 80% to a full rifle.
Right now the folks at Fealty Arms are trying to raise enough money to fund building their company, in doing so for every $65 that you donate you will receive one 80% lower once their company is all set up.
If we can get 400 lowers ordered by all of you who follow this page they will donate a full AR-15 to review and then Giveaway. If this happens I will do a giveaway for the rifle, and I will pick from the names of those who donated to help them get started.
If you do donate and help them out please make sure to either email them and let them know SpartanTC81 Reviews sent you, or make a notation of it in the donation form.
