With two shootings taking place over the weekend, there was probably always going to be some degree of comparison between the US and Australia. Granted, Australia had the worst shooting despite the plethora of gun control laws on the books, but they don’t tend to have a lot of mass murders that come across Americans’ news feeds. And in the wake of what happened at Brown University and in Sydney, the comparisons will come, such as this one.Titled, “Why are mass shootings so rare in Australia despite the Bondi attack? Gun laws, explained,” you kind…
The CZ P-10 C is a relatively recent entry in the polymer-frame, striker-fired handgun market from a major manufacturer. Introduced in 2017, the P-10 C for Compact was CZ’s first striker-fired 9mm. Since then, CZ has expanded the line to include smaller and longer-slide variants, including the single-stack P-10 M. The latest addition to my battery is the CZ P-10 C Ported. At first glance, the ported version closely resembles the standard P-10 C, but there are meaningful differences. This is a modern handgun with thoughtful features, solid design, and the reliability CZ is known for. More importantly, it turned…
The Supreme Court didn’t grant cert to any Second Amendment cases in its orders list released on Monday, but they did keep ahold of several challenges to state-level gun and magazine bans as well as several prohibited persons cases. The justices also denied cert to a pair of challenges to the National Firearms Act’s restrictions on short-barreled rifles, as well as the appeal of a Pennsylvania father who was hoping to revive a lawsuit against a gun maker and gun seller holding them civilly liable for the death of his son. Robinson v. U.S. and Rush v.…
Australia is once again moving toward tighter national gun laws following a terrorist mass shooting at a Hanukkah event on Sydney’s Bondi Beach that left at least 15 people dead and 27 hospitalized, according to authorities. Police have classified the December 14 attack as a targeted act of terrorism against Jewish Australians. Allegedly, it was carried out by a father-and-son pair. One suspect died in a shootout with police. The other remains hospitalized and is expected to face criminal charges. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese condemned the attack as “an act of pure evil” and quickly signaled that new firearm restrictions…
Airline officials and the United States military pledge to investigate if necessary a near “midair collision” that reportedly occurred off the Venezuelan coast last Friday.A JetBlue aircraft (Flight 1112) traveling from the Dutch Caribbean island of Curaçao to New York City’s John F. Kennedy International Airport on Dec. 12 nearly collided with a U.S. military plane in proximity to Venezuelan airspace. There has been a forceful U.S. presence in the region since Sept. 2 as boat strikes against alleged narcotics traffickers have remained consistent.Audio communication retained from air traffic control (ATC) flight recordings from within the aircraft and with air…
When choosing protection, riders usually face a tough compromise. You often choose between hard plastic/EPS foam, which is protective but can feel like a sauna and restricts movement, or viscoelastic foam like D3O. Viscoelastic foam is a great solution, but in cold weather, it can become noticeably rigid and uncomfortable. Koroyd, a brand usually associated with the distinct green “straw” tubes in Smith helmets, has developed a solution that aims to fix both the sweat factor and the cold-weather rigidity. The foundation of this solution is an auxetic structure. This material behaves counterintuitively: When stretched, it gets thicker, and when…
In the wake of both the Brown University shooting and what happened at a beach at Bondi Beach in Australia are, without a doubt, terrible. At a time like this, it would be easy to focus on these two awful occurrences. It’s easy to deflect the discussion of various bills, saying that now isn’t the time for such things. Like, say, national reciprocity.However, the wheels of politics don’t stop on a dime, and an op-ed that was likely written well before the attack at Brown University actually has a lot more relevance today than some…
Colion Noir is pushing back on the gun control narrative following a deadly mass shooting in Australia. He points to the attack as evidence that bans don’t stop determined evil. According to authorities, two gunmen opened fire during a Jewish community celebration marking the first night of Hanukkah near Sydney’s Bondi Beach. At least 15 people were killed. One attacker was killed during the incident, another was taken into custody in critical condition, and investigators are now looking into whether a third individual may have been involved. Australian officials labeled the attack terrorism. The shooters reportedly used long guns, and…
At least 15 people were killed after a mass shooting during a Hanukkah event at Australia’s Bondi Beach in Sydney on Sunday. Officials in Australia are vowing to further tighten the country’s already strict gun laws after what they said was a terrorist attack targeting Jewish people celebrating Hanukkah. On Sunday, December 14th, at 18:47 local time (07:47 GMT), police received reports that shots had been fired at a park in Bondi Beach. Footage verified by the BBC appears to show two gunmen firing from a small bridge near a car park on Campbell Parade, on the northern end of Bondi…
A new and potentially serious flu variant is currently spreading. A mutated strain of influenza A, H3N2 subclade K, is surging worldwide, sparking concern about a severe flu season in the United States. This new variant has already caused a surge in infections in Japan, which declared an influenza epidemic after experiencing an unusually early and harsh flu season, Dr. Robert Hopkins Jr., medical director of the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases, told TODAY.com. “Knowing that there’s a new mutated strain out there and H3N2 generally causes more severe disease is concerning,” says Hopkins. The variant has also been circulating…
The effort by several gun-rights groups to persuade New Jersey cities to voluntarily drop the excessively high concealed-carry permit fees imposed by the state continues to show success. On December 8, we reported that Howell, in Monmouth County, had become the twelfth municipality in New Jersey to refund all or substantially all the fees required to obtain a permit to carry. On December 10, Toms River city councilors voted to waive the fee, making that community the 13th to do so voluntarily. Toms River, the second largest municipality in Ocean County and largest to pass a fee nullification resolution, joined…
We know next to nothing about the suspect in the shooting at Brown University on Saturday that resulted in two people being killed and nine others injured, but that lack of information isn’t stopping gun control advocates from demanding changes to our laws. USC women’s basketball coach Lindsay Gottlieb, who graduated from Brown, was quick to pin the blame for the shooting on the inanimate object that was used, rather than the person who pulled the trigger. “It’s the guns,” Gottlieb said as she began a post-game news conference at the Ivy League school. “It doesn’t…
After almost 21 years in the Air Force, Jeff Andrejcik was looking forward to retiring from military life, embarking on a fruitful career in the civilian world. Andrejcik’s service time included multiple deployments, highlighted by three combat tours in Iraq and the United Arab Emirates. The Air Force veteran served in several roles and had built a solid resume, landing a job with the federal government and moving his family to a base in Florida for a position he had worked years to acquire. Then came the gut punch. President Donald Trump’s swift and indiscriminate overhaul of the federal workforce earlier this…
So, how was your weekend? Anything eventful happen?Of course, we all know what happened. It was a bad weekend for way too many people, in part because of two shootings on opposite sides of the planet. The killings had nothing ostensibly to do with one another from what we can tell. One seems to be a mentally ill individual in the United States and the other looks to be an act of terrorism.But let’s get into them, including the political aftermath, starting with Brown University.As we reported earlier Saturday, a terrifying situation unfolded on the…
This article was originally published by Evangelyn Rodriguez at Natural News. Aluminum, a neurotoxic metal with no biological benefit, contaminates cookware, cosmetics, vaccines, food packaging, and drinking water, contributing to chronic diseases. Studies link aluminum accumulation to Alzheimer’s, ALS, bone disorders, hormonal imbalances, and cognitive decline due to oxidative stress in the brain and organs. Children receive 17 aluminum-containing shots by 18 months—four times more than decades ago—raising concerns about long-term neurological damage. Avoid aluminum cookware, processed foods, and contaminated water. Boost detox with vitamin C, cilantro, sulfur-rich foods (garlic, onions), and curcumin to combat oxidative stress. Blood tests often…

An important part of surviving a major disaster – one that could lead to a societal collapse – is having a bug out location. Building a stockpile of food and supplies in your home (your “bug in” spot) is essential, but in some disaster scenarios, you may have to leave your main residence.This departure may be because your family is in danger from natural or human-caused events. A bug out location (BOL) then is a safe place you can go when you must evacuate.A BOL can be a temporary shelter or a permanent one. It can be a house, an…
A St. Louis woman was held at gunpoint and assaulted in her apartment for several hours this past weekend, and though a neighbor heard her cries for help and called 911, police didn’t respond until after the victim was able to get to a phone hours later. 25-year-old Miles Faris is facing charges of first-degree kidnapping, second- and third-degree domestic assault, unlawful use of a weapon, and multiple drug charges, but police have not been able to take him into custody because he fled the apartment before officers arrived on scene. In court documents, the St.…
Zero-dollar NFA transfers sound amazing until you hit the real costs. Before you turn that brace AR into an SBR, read the travel rules, trust traps, penalties, and long-term risks that most shooters ignore. The Zero Dollar Hook And The Catch Ever since the National Firearms Act of 1934, NFA items, including short-barreled rifles and silencers, have had a tax of $200. That much money 90 years ago was equivalent to almost $5,000 today. Imagine buying a $500 AR and then having to spend $5,000 on taxes. Ridiculous. This is all about to end, thanks to the big, beautiful bill…
