Ohio’s gubernatorial race remains way too close for comfort for Second Amendment supporters, with RealClearPolling showing Democrat Amy Acton with a 0.2 percent lead over Republican candidate Vivek Ramaswamy. If Acton wins in November, progress in strengthening Ohio’s Second Amendment protections will likely come to a screeching halt. To compound that danger, Acton is far more likely than Ramaswamy to take a soft-on-crime approach like the one offered up by Ohio’s Department of Youth Services a couple of years ago. In 2024 the department released a report that called for no juvenile detention for offenders…
Colorado has pushed through a lot of gun control lately, but questions remain as to just how long any of it will survive. That’s especially true after Wolford, where some “misapprehensions” about Bruen were cleared up. Especially in saying that the burden is on the government to show that a law is constitutional, not the other way around. And now, Colorado’s waiting period has had its first day in court, and the arguments are…special.But state attorney Joseph Michaels argued the Colorado law follows the federal government’s background check timeline. Michaels urged Kane to renew his…
Three Stars and Stripes journalists fired by the Pentagon last week have sued the Department of Defense, seeking to block their terminations. Editor-in-Chief Erik Slavin, Middle East reporter Lara Korte, and publisher Max Lederer filed the 45-page lawsuit Thursday in Washington. Among the defendants named were the Defense Department, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and two of the department’s public affairs officials, according to their now former employer. The suit asks the court to halt the terminations as unlawful, arguing they amounted to retaliation over unflattering coverage of a Navy deployment as part of a broader attempt to censor the press.…
You cannot simply run a munitions line faster. There is no switch to flip, no second shift that doubles the output overnight. Building missile propulsion takes specialized facilities. It involves chemists who spend careers learning their craft, and an area engineered to handle energetic materials without catastrophe. It takes years to stand up, and once it exists, it must keep running. That reality has collided with a country that has rarely needed more of these systems, at a moment when they remain among the most difficult things it makes. Stockpiles Drawn Down Since the conflict with Iran began on February…
Student op-eds are…interesting.These are younger people who haven’t really lived much of their lives yet, but who have strong opinions on a great many things. That’s fine, obviously, because they have that right. Yet, because many of them lack real-world living experience, their arguments on things like guns can be baffling. Especially when they end up defeating their own argument. That’s what happened with a student op-ed out of Virginia Commonwealth University. The author has an AR-15 and says he will keep it until the Second Amendment is repealed…and wants to see it repealed.I am…
Troops calling for fire depend on it. So does the pilot navigating to a target, or a ship coordinating its movements with a carrier group. Each of them, in moments that matter most, relies on systems roughly 22,000 miles overhead. Complex systems they will likely never see and may never once stop to think about. For most of the space age, that dependence was safe to take for granted; not any longer. Space has stopped being a sanctuary and has become a domain the U.S. military now has to plan to fight in. This paradigm shift is forcing an overhaul…

While the ATF has confirmed that it was the target of a “major” cyberattack by the ransomware group known as Qilin, details of the data breach are still under wraps, and it’s unclear what information may have been stolen or compromised. One of the concerns is that the details of potentially tens of millions of gun owners might have been accessed. The ATF has digital files of billions of documents from FFLs who have gone out of business, including the Form 4473s that were filled out by customers. If the hackers accessed that material, it…
WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. military is experiencing a “beyond critical” shortage of advanced missile interceptors in Europe largely driven by President Donald Trump’s war with Iran, a U.S. defense official in Europe and a NATO official told The Associated Press, raising concerns about vulnerabilities in NATO countries to a potential Russian attack. The U.S. defense official said the most concerning shortfall involves Patriot missile interceptors, which can shoot down Russia’s high-speed ballistic missiles. The NATO official confirmed the low inventories of Patriots among American and NATO forces in Europe. Both spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive military…
LoRa mesh devices are one of the simplest ways to communicate off-grid, whether you’re using Meshtastic, MeshCore, or another network type.I’ve been using Meshtastic devices for over a year now, testing a variety of them for distance, battery life, ease of use, and more.My main recommendation is the Moko Smart WisMesh Tag, which turns your existing smartphone into an off-grid mesh communication device.If you need a standalone device, the LilyGo T-Deck Plus in a specific build is tough to beat with its bevy of included features. I also suggest an excellent treetop solar repeater that extends mesh communication over massive…
Earlier this week a federal judge in Colorado heard oral arguments in a lawsuit challenging the state’s 3-day waiting period on gun transfers, with the plaintiffs pointing to a recent decision by the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals that ruled New Mexico’s 7-day waiting period unconstitutional. That Tenth Circuit decision was also cited in a new cert petition filed with the Supreme Court in a case dealing with Maine’s 3-day waiting period. Unlike the Tenth Circuit, the First Circuit upheld Maine’s law; not by citing any historical analogues, but by deciding that the Second Amendment…
Buying a used car with a salvage title isn’t necessarily a bad idea, but it comes with more risk than purchasing a comparable vehicle with a clean title. A vehicle with a salvage title generally means that an insurer declared it a total loss, although the reasons can vary depending on the state in which the vehicle is registered. If you’re considering purchasing a vehicle with a salvaged title, the potential cost savings should outweigh the potential risks associated with the vehicle. That includes repairs, insurance coverage, financing, resale value, and future reliability. In this guide, we’ll show you that…
We all know that D.C. is hell on gun rights. Even today, open carry isn’t really a good idea in the nation’s capital, which strikes me as more than a little ironic. The nation with the symbols of our freedoms is the place we have fewer freedoms than most parts of the country. Still, it is what it is. You can’t open carry.Not even a guillotine. Now, we all know this was probably some intentionally threatening protest, the likes of which people on the left typically get away with and those on the right are demonized…
TORRANCE, Calif. (AP) — A judge on Wednesday suspended criminal charges against a former U.S. Marine arrested at President Donald Trump’s Los Angeles-area golf course with ammunition and a gun in his vehicle. He is undergoing a psychiatric evaluation. Los Angeles County Judge John Lonergan Jr. sent Jeanine John Taele, 38, to a mental health court in Hollywood based on statements he made in a pretrial evaluation indicating he wasn’t mentally fit to stand trial. In the evaluation, Taele falsely insisted he had been a State Department official for 14 years. When Taele was arrested earlier this month, he was…
Marine veteran Jason Bush remembers the pride he felt after returning home after a deployment to Iraq. There were throngs of people with American flags, all ecstatic to see their returning troops. One question lingered in the back of his head, though. Why did he make it when his comrades had not? This question helped Bush to find a direction after his deployment. Injured and ill veterans were people he knew, people he had served with. They come in all shapes and sizes, and all backgrounds. He could help them out in as unique a way as one could think.…

A restored military Humvee capable of being on public roads is being offered to one winner from a sweepstakes that is being put on by the American Legion in a bid to attract more attention to the organization and its causes. The vehicle is a part of the campaign “Drive 4 Freedom Sweepstakes,” which runs through Dec. 19. It was displayed during the Grand Prix Freedom 250 in Washington, D.C. This happened during the first race that took place on the streets of the capital. Donated by Jim White, the founder of a Florida-based company called Street Legal Exports, the…
