GuardTech Plus product review
GuardTech Plus sent me a couple of their products for review, their Universal Gun Cleaning Kit and .223/5.56 Gun Cleaning Kit.
The Universal Gun Cleaning Kit come with an extensive assortment of tips, jags, mops, bristles and brushes which work with the included brass rods, all in a hard plastic carrying case. Also included is a .35 caliber pull string. It has everything you need to clean guns from .17 to .50 in a nice, neat package. It even comes with several picks to work out crud that accumulates where the other tools won’t reach.
As the name implies the .223/5.56 Gun Cleaning Kit is meant for .22 caliber firearms with up to a 30” barrel. It comes with an appropriate rod, tip, jap, mop, brush and a pull string all in a smaller plastic case.
While I personally prefer using pull strings, the brass rods will get the job done. All in all, GuardTech Plus is selling quality products at a decent price.

Thomas agrees to hearing on ammo BGCs
After Sonia Sotomayor declined to hear a challenge to the ammunition background check, Clarence Thomas has agreed to a conference hearing on the matter on October 6.
The Governor is not happy:
Justice Clarence Thomas just granted a request for an emergency conference in a case trying to dismantle our concealed carry law.
I know the far-right is focused on placating the MAGA extremists. I'm focused on protecting New Yorkers.

I am inclined to think that SCOTUS will let this play out for awhile longer, but if they did intervene I wouldn’t be totally surprised either.
Shameless self promotion
Some light political theater
Murphy gets screwed
I have been told that State Supreme Court Judge J. Emmett Murphy was denied an ammo purchase.
