Summary

Mark Koernke discussed Weapons Wednesday on May 6, 2009, covering firearms training, ammunition sales trends, and weapon system design. He highlighted a new moving-target range system under development and fielded a call from HD in Arizona promoting an intensive four-day militia training course (May 14-17) near Flagstaff covering basic soldier skills, radio communications, land navigation, and AR-15 instruction. Koernke analyzed recent NICS background check data showing 1.2-1.5 million monthly firearm requests from February through March 2009, arguing these figures represented new shooters and multiple purchases per person, and that the gun industry was sustaining the economy. He discussed ammunition availability issues, the strategic advantages of diverse caliber weapons systems, and DIY firearm manufacturing concepts including modular AR-15 uppers and simplified rifle designs using common parts.
