This year we honor our good friend and longtime supporter The Gunny with this Glock pistol, generously donated in his memory by Glock and graciously authorized by R. Lee Ermey’s estate. The Gunny was a true patriot and a staunch Knife Rights supporter who said of this organization, "I whole-heartedly endorse the work of Knife Rights and support their mission! I detest the fact that such an organization is even necessary in the United States of America."
Semper Fi, Gunny. Rest in Peace.
Straight Talk from The Gunny on Our Knife Rights
I can’t think of a more fundamentally useful, basic tool in existence today than a good quality knife.
Invented and used by primitive man, it is one of the few tools from the Stone Age that is still in use today.
A good knife is a must have in any emergency survival kit worth it’s salt. No one in their right mind would go camping, hunting or fishing without a good sharp blade or two on his belt and in his pocket. How would we clean or trim our nails?
Restricting the rights of Americans to carry and utilize knives would rank right up there on the dumb scale with restricting the use of other tools such as hammers and wrenches.
I would like to know who the Alfred E. Neuman think-a likes are who come up with these ridiculous ideas. Whoever they are, we do need to keep sharp objects out of THEIR reach.
I whole-heartedly endorse the work of Knife Rights and support their mission! I detest the fact that such an organization is even necessary in the United States of America.

Prize winners must be U.S. residents at least 18 years of age who have made one or more qualifying contribution of at least $20 each to Knife Rights, Inc. (“KR”) during the eligibility period or who have submitted an entry in accordance with the published rules. Winners of firearms, suppressors or knives must not be prohibited from owning or possessing them under applicable laws.
Rules:
Offer void where prohibited. No more than two (2) prizes will be awarded to any one person in each of the Early Bird Bonus Drawing and Main Drawing. No more than one (1) prize will be awarded to any one person in the Tail End Drawing, if held. A Tail End Drawing is not guaranteed to be held. You can donate as often as you like, but each donation is separate and independent from previous donations and will only entitle you to the number of entries specified at the donation level you have selected at the time of each donation.
Each donation must include full name, donation amount, shipping address and phone number to be valid. Winners need not be physically present at the drawing to win.
Firearms and suppressors will not be shipped directly to winners, but rather to Federal Firearms Licensees (“FFLs”) specified by winners (or selected by KR or Hill Country Class 3 LLC d.b.a. Silencer Shop (Silencer Shop), in KR’s and Silencer Shop’s sole discretion). Winners can only take possession of firearms and suppressors from the FFLs. Optional suppressor included with some firearms prizes can be excluded if the winner is ineligible for any reason or prefers not to become subject to the requirements of the National Firearms Act (NFA). Current wait times for NFA transfers conducted by the BATFE are nine to twelve months and could be longer. KR is not responsible for tracking such wait times. Winner is responsible for compliance with the NFA and all state and local laws governing the possession of NFA items in the winner’s jurisdiction. Neither KR, nor KR Affiliates (as defined below), nor their successors or assigns, nor the supplier of the suppressor prize, are responsible for failure to complete delivery of such prize for any reason, including without limitation the prize winner’s failure to comply with any legal requirements. Declining to accept a suppressor prize, or failure to satisfy the legal requirements for a firearms or suppressor prize selected, forfeits any claim to that firearm or suppressor prize and no replacement, alternative prize, or cash equivalent will be provided. Automatic knives will not be shipped directly to winners unless a legal recipient under 15 U.S.C. §§ 1241-1245 and 18 U.S.C. § 1716(g), but rather to an authorized dealer in eligible winner’s state from which winner can claim prize.
Some prizes are subject to additional limitation(s) that is/are included in prize description and by selection of such a prize the winner automatically accepts and is bound by the stated limitation(s) and rules regarding selection and delivery as if the limitation(s) was/were included herein. Claim to prizes is not transferable with the exception that delivery of a suppressor prize can be received by a trust of which the winner is a responsible person qualified to receive an NFA item.

Early Bird winners will be drawn on or after May 30, 2019. If held, Tail End Drawing winners will be drawn on or after August 2, 2019, immediately prior to the Main Drawing.

At KR’s option, additional Winner’s Choice prizes may be awarded. Accordingly, the final posting of winners may take up to 180 days post drawing.

If for any reason winners cannot comply, prizes will be held for 30 days and then will be forfeited and returned to KR.

Exceptions include but are not limited to: changing SOT dealers after paperwork is filed, changing registration type, facilitating a dealer outside of the “Powered By Silencer Shop” dealer network. In most cases, Silencer Shop will handle the transfer from start to user receipt and will require contact with the winner to insure registration information is valid and complete. If communication cannot be facilitated between Silencer Shop and the winner, NFA Prizes will be held for 30 days before return transfer to the manufacturer is initiated.
