New gun confiscation bill being pushed through congress
Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) has introduced S.292 - Extreme Risk Protection Order and Violence Prevention Act of 2021, and he has garnered support from Democrats and Republicans alike. This latest Red Flag gun confiscation bill will get a hearing in the Senate Judiciary Committee, which includes high-profile gun control advocates Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) and Dick Durbin (D-IL).
Unlike red flag legislation which involve state laws, S.292 will apply to all states and Indian Tribes. Under the guise of a "grant program" the bill will bribe states to enact the most comprehensive red flag law we've ever seen.
S.292 is described as a bill:
To provide family members of an individual who they fear is a danger to himself, herself, or others, or law enforcement, with new tools to prevent gun violence.
However, these "tools" have failed repeatedly and pave the way for rampant abuse. Citizens who are targeted by these laws will be deemed guilty first, and only after their guns are taken will they have a chance to defend themselves in court. This is de facto removal of due process.
Under the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments, due process clauses are in place to act as a safeguard from arbitrary denial of life, liberty, or property by the government outside the sanction of law. It is a fact that a person can be denied life, liberty and property outside the sanction of the law under red flag legislation. Although it may be temporary, this is a difference only in degree.
The fact of the matter is that it is entirely possible for false accusations to be made and an innocent person suffer harm by being unable to defend themselves from accusations stemming from the secretive process of red flag laws.

 Rossi R92 .45 Colt
Lever actions are America's rifle. It's the gun that won the West. In recent decades, the lever action appeared to be on the ropes, but right now they are hot again. The lever action is one of America's most significant contributions to modern firearms. It was the first successful repeating action, and in the 160 years of repeating rifles, almost all lever-action designs have been American.
No rifle does classic American styling and swift, light handling like Rossi's legendary R92. Built on the proven model 92 lever action. The Rossi R92 combines a traditional hardwood stock with Stainless Steel finish to deliver a big-bore rifle suitable for the backwoods or the back forty. Adjustable rear buckhorn sight, an elegant classic wood profile, and an exquisitely smooth-cycling action prove that contemporary engineering can pair seamlessly with time-honored craftsmanship and design.

The Revolver Camera
Throughout the years, there have been many modifications made to guns. In 1938, there was a very interesting innovation in the form of the revolver camera. It was just what it sounds like: a revolver, (a Colt .38 special) with a camera attached. Whenever the owner would pull the trigger of the gun, the camera would take a picture.
As some of us might be imagining, this had the potential to be gruesome and terrifying. The good news is that even if the gun wasn't loaded, the camera could still take pictures, which could turn out pretty cool, but the result wouldn't be that different from using a normal camera. It is really crazy and interesting how people can come up with such strange modifications to firearms, but the revolver camera has to be one of the craziest, although it never saw widespread use.
