CODY FIREARMS MUSEUM

July 20, 2021 by Mark E

Cody Firearms Museum

OUR CODY FIREARMS MUSEUM REOPENED IN 2019 AFTER A FULL RENOVATION
The Firearms Museum houses the most comprehensive collection of American firearms in the world. In 1975, the Winchester Arms Collection, the heart of this museum, adventured west as a loan from the Olin Corporation. It was deeded as a gift in 1988. To date, the Cody Firearms Museum has over 7,000 firearms with more than 30,000 firearms-related artifacts.

Winchester-made guns are not the only manufacturer you will see here, though; virtually every significant manufacturer in the world is represented! Visitors are able to explore the evolution of modern arms technology from its earliest days through today’s outstanding variations. Whether you are interested in sporting, military, embellished, or even Hollywood guns, there is something for all visitors to enjoy.
Gun collectors can take advantage of the Cody Firearms Museum Records Office to acquire information about individual firearms manufactured by Winchester, Marlin, and L.C. Smith. Factory letters are available to Cody Firearms Museum members and non-members for a fee. Go to our Firearms Records page for more information.

PLEASE NOTE: The Cody Firearms Museum staff is able to respond to general questions regarding firearms and firearm-related issues beyond the scope of the Records Office on a limited basis. Contact Curatorial Assistant Daniel Brumley at danielb@centerofthewest.org or 307-578-4117. Response times vary with the workload of the curatorial staff. We are unable to respond to gunsmithing, highly technological, or hand-loading inquiries.

Some Basic Facts About Gun Control in Mexico

July 20, 2021 by Mark E

https://mexlaw.ca/some-basic-facts-about-gun-control-in-mexico-2/


• Do you know it is illegal to enter Mexico with a firearm without a permit from Secretariat of National Defense? Mexican customs agents do not issue gun permits; this permit must be processed before you attempt to cross the border with any type of firearm or ammunition. Anyone entering Mexico with a firearm or ammunition without a permit could face up to five years in prison.
• All arms must be registered with the Secretariat of National Defense https://www.gob.mx/sedena in accordance with the Federal Law on Firearms and Explosives.
• The Directorate of Commercialization of Arms and Munitions (Dirección de Comercialización de Armamento y Municiones – DCAM) located in Mexico City is the only legally authorized firearms store in the country.
• The Secretariat of National Defense (SEDENA), is responsible for issuing licenses and operating the General Directorate for the Federal Firearms Registry and Explosives Control.
• Mexican citizens and legal foreign residents of Mexico may purchase firearms at DCAM provided they meet the qualifications.
• Citizens may own a total of 10 registered firearms (nine long guns, one handgun) per household.
• Businesses are not entitled to keep a firearm on the premises unless the business is also their residence.
• Lost or stolen firearms must be reported to the Secretariat of Defense.
• Owning a gun and carrying a firearm are two different scenarios in Mexico. You may own a registered firearm which must be kept in the home, but in order to carry it, you need a license, which is typically reserved for police, army, navy officials, some private security services and specialized sporting participants. Some rural landowners or politicians and affluent citizens, who feel they are in danger may be able to justify the need for a carry license.
• Carry firearms licenses are issued to individuals who
o are mentally and physically capable.
o provide proof of employment.
o served in the military.
o do not have a criminal record.
o do not use illegal drugs.
o demonstrate a need to carry arms.
• There are two types of carrying licenses, one for officials and one for private citizens. Officials hold their license for as long as they are in the position that required a firearms license, whereas individuals must renew their license every two years.
• Licenses to carry arms for individuals are for the exclusive use of that individual.
• Licenses may be granted to private individuals owning one or more firearms for target shooting or hunting, if the applicant is a member of a registered club or association and meets the requirements.
• Transport of firearms: gun owners who belong to hunting or shooting clubs and keep registered firearms must maintain a valid permit and renew this permit each year in order to transport the guns to and from these activities.
• The private sale and transfer of firearms must be authorized by Secretariat of National Defense. The buyer and seller must appear in person along with the weapon, to process the transaction.

RAND’s Summer Reading List for Congress

For busy staff, August’s respite from back-to-back meetings, hearing preparation, and late votes is hard-earned. The summer recess also provides an opportunity to get ahead of issues that will resurface in the fall. To that end, we have compiled recent RAND research on topics likely to top the congressional agenda come September.
Gun Policy in America
In the wake of recent tragedies in El Paso, Texas, Dayton, Ohio, and the garlic festival in Gilroy, California, congressional leaders are expected to renew discussions about gun laws when they return from recess. What does scientific evidence tell us about the effects of gun laws, including background checks? Last year, RAND released findings from one of the largest studies ever conducted on the subject, with the goal of establishing a shared set of facts that will improve public discussions and support the development of fair and effective gun policies.

Illicit Supply of Fentanyl and Other Synthetic Opioids
Given the scope of the synthetic opioid crisis and the new challenges it presents, RAND’s Bryce Pardo recommends that Congress look beyond available drug policy tools to address this problem. In his July 25 testimony, Pardo laid out four potential policy responses to help stem the rising trend in overdoses, which is complicated by the arrival of illicitly manufactured synthetic opioids. These strategies include encouraging federal authorities to work with Chinese counterparts to strengthen China’s regulatory and enforcement capabilities and strengthening federal efforts aimed at reducing demand for opioids and overdose risk.
Read the testimony
Higher Education Act Reauthorization
In light of Congress’ efforts to reauthorize the Higher Education Act, RAND experts have synthesized research addressing several aspects of the nation’s main federal law governing postsecondary education. Researchers discuss how the federal government could help improve postsecondary student success, the potential for dual enrollment programs to boost postsecondary access for students currently underrepresented in postsecondary education, and how federal policy could encourage innovation to cut the cost of college, among other topics.

Addressing Surprise Medical Bills
Surprise medical bills—which can arise when insured patients unknowingly receive care from out-of-network physicians—can run in the thousands of dollars. As federal legislation is considered to address surprise billing, it is important to weigh the potential effects of the proposed legislation on the overall cost of health care. In a recent commentary, RAND experts point out that while out-of-pocket liability has a shock value, any action that limits this liability should also account for the amount owed to physicians by insurers so that costs don’t get passed on to everyone.
Read the commentary
Extending Russia
Russia continues to be a top national security focus for Congress, which held hearings and crafted legislation to address Moscow’s destabilizing activities. According to a recent RAND report, Russia’s use of information warfare and its conventional military arsenal make it a formidable opponent, but the state also has significant weaknesses that could be exploited. This report examines a range of nonviolent measures the United States could take to stress Russia’s military, its economy, or the regime’s political standing at home and abroad. The steps would be designed to cause Russia to compete in domains or regions where the United States has a comparative advantage—driving Russia to overextend itself militarily or economically or causing the regime to lose domestic and/or international prestige or influence.
Read the reportRead the research brief
Truth Decay
RAND is studying “Truth Decay”—the diminishing role of facts and analysis in American public life, characterized by increasing disagreement about facts and analytical interpretations of facts and data; a blurring of the line between opinion and fact; the increasing relative volume and resulting influence of opinion and personal experience over fact; and declining trust in formerly respected sources of facts. RAND’s first Truth Decay research examined the phenomenon’s drivers and consequences, and the newest report describes the field of media literacy education and the ways in which it can counter Truth Decay by changing how participants consume, create, and share information.
