So far this winter the weather gods have been kind to us; better make supplications that they continue to be appeased until spring arrives.
2019 started off fairly quiet at our club with only two events of note thus far. We hosted the monthly meeting of the Plymouth County League of Sportsmen in January which drew a modest number of attendees. Then in early February the local chapter of Ducks Unlimited, the Minot’s Ledge Chapter, held their 40th Annual KC’s Game Feed on our property, see article below.
DU Game Feed Wrap-up
We hosted the 40th annual Ducks Unlimited, Minot’s Ledge Chapter KC’s Game Feed on Saturday, February 2nd (aka Super Bowl Saturday). The day started off bloody cold, warmed up to nippy in the afternoon and returned to bloody cold as the sun went down. The temperatures did not seem to bother the hearty 300, or so, souls who attended too much; everyone was well bundled-up and there were plenty of fire barrels to take the chill off. Entry was closed around 2:00 PM as there was no more room to park vehicles.
Everything was broken down by the DU guys, the clubhouse given a thorough cleaning and skeet went off on time Sunday morning.
Early estimates project the event generated $26,000 gross. Our club will receive a $2,000 donation for the use of our property plus another $150 from a donation bucket which will go to funding the fishing derbies in the spring. Also donated were a dozen his/hers shooting ear muffs.
Mark your calendars now for next year, this event always happens on Super Bowl Saturday.

Gun Control Laws Won’t Work Because Criminals Get Their Guns Illegally Says DOJ STUDY

DOJ Special Report]
It took the United States government’s Department of Justice an entire study dedicated to gun use and criminals to figure out what logical human beings have already understood for decades. The result of their own study found that gun control laws will never work because criminals will never use legal channels to obtain guns.
According to Fox 5 TV in Washington DC, the findings based on the 2016 Survey of Prison Inmates (SPI), discovered that about 1 in 5 or 21% of all state and federal prisoners reported they had “possessed or carried a firearm when they committed the offense for which they were serving time in prison.” The survey released by the DOJ this month declared that criminals unsurprisingly rely on the black market for their guns.
According to
the study, an estimated 287,400 prisoners has possessed a firearm during their offense. The findings concluded 6 percent had stolen the weapon, 7 percent found it at a crime scene and 43 percent obtained it off the street or on the black market. More than 25 percent had received it from a family member or friend, or as a gift.
This is not the first time the government, democrats, and gun control zealots have been made to look the fool by their own study.
Gun-hating democrats who demanded a study into the sale of guns online were smacked with a dose of reality. They wasted two years attempting to buy guns illegally on the “dark web,” and the group of Democrats failed every single time.
Senator Elizabeth Warren joined with Senator Brian Schultz, D-Hawaii, and Representative Elijah Cummings, D-Maryland, to commission the GAO report.
An embarrassing attempt to try to regulate guns further went horribly wrong when the Democrats took it upon themselves to try to skirt the law to prove it can be done.
Over the course of the two-and-a-half year investigation, agents tried to buy firearms illegally on the “Surface Web” and the “Dark Web,” generally by sharing their status as “prohibited individuals” or trying to buy across state lines.

These studies prove nothing more than the government’s incompetence and unnecessary intervention in the lives of everyone else. Private gun sellers did more to prevent violent crimes than the government’s own laws did.
The ruling class is continuing to prove they are no longer a necessary evil. Only 1.3 percent of all prisoners obtained a gun from a retail source and used it during their offense, the DOJ’s study stated. Moreover, among the prisoners who possessed a firearm during their offense, “0.8 percent obtained it at a gun show.”
