Henry Repeating Arms

FAIRFAX, VA – -(AmmoLand.com)- The National Rifle Association is pleased to announce that Henry Repeating Arms has generously donated 50 Henry Lever Action Youth Rifles to NRA’s Youth Programs Department, furthering their support of youth involvement in the shooting sports.

“Henry Repeating Arms takes great pride in continuing their strong support of youth shooting sports programs,” said Anthony Imperato, President of Henry Repeating Arms.

The Henry Lever Action Youth Rifle is a .22 caliber firearm featuring an American walnut stock, fully adjustable rear sight, 12-round capacity, a 13-inch length of pull, and the famously smooth Henry action. This lightweight and compact version of the Henry Lever Action Rifle is ideal for young shooters, or adults who desire a compact rifle in the field. Each donated rifle also comes with a gun case.

Numerous shooting sports programs for youth will benefit from this generous donation, including NRA Youth Cooperative Organizations such as the Boy Scouts of America, 4-H, Royal Rangers, National High School Rodeo Association, and the National Scholastic Sportsman’s Program, among others. The rifles will be given as prizes and used during shooting events and training. For the past two years, NRA’s Youth Programs Department has provided Henry rifles to the National High School Rodeo Association to support their Light Rifle Championships.

“These rifles from Henry Repeating Arms will help to further youth shooting sports programs across the country. Many young people will have the chance to use these rifles for training and competition. We thank Henry for their continued support and dedication to keeping youth involved in the shooting sports,” said Larry Quandahl, Manager of NRA’s Youth Programs Department.

UK Scouts Ban Penknives Knives

Boy Scouts Of America

KnifeRights.org

Britain --(AmmoLand.com)- It’s a sad day for Scouts in Britain as all knives are officially banned in virtually all circumstances, “neither Scouts nor their parents should bring penknives to camp except in ‘specific’ situations.”

Here’s a very scary quote from the article linked below:

Last night a Scouts spokesman defended its policy, saying: ‘The Scout Association plays a key role in helping young people develop the confidence, maturity and self-esteem they need to play active and responsible roles in their communities, and to resist the peer pressure that may attract them into local gang culture.

We believe that young people need more places to go after school and at weekends, where they can experience adventure without the threat of violence or bullying and the need to carry weapons.

Scouting helps to prepare young people with valuable life skills, while keeping them safe by not carrying knives.’

This action is a reflection of the intense anti-knife culture that has developed in the U.K. in the past few years. There are numerous causes, not the least of which is a media all too happy to feed the flames and politicians who would rather attack the tool rather than the root causes. In any case, it should serve as a warning to America’s knife owners.

The anti-knife hysteria in the U.K, Europe and elsewhere was one of the reasons why Knife Rights was founded just under three years ago, to give knife owners an effective voice against those who would take away our knives if we don’t oppose them.
