The Supreme Court has explicitly stated that, in order for a modern gun law to be constitutionally sound, it must comply with the text of the Second Amendment as well as the history and tradition of gun ownership (and gun regulation). So far, though, the Court hasn’t given a whole lot of advice as to what constitutes a national tradition. In Bruen, SCOTUS doubted that “just three colonial regulations could suffice to show a tradition of public-carry regulation,” but declined to state definitely what would suffice; both in terms of the number of laws as well as when those laws…

This article was originally published by Joshua Mawhorter at The Mises Institute.  After the failures of socialism—economically, historically, and ethically—the Left-liberal intellectuals, not wanting to abandon socialism, employed several new strategies. It has been suggested that these several manifestations can be subsumed under one general category—postmodernism. After a review of postmodern philosophy and philosophical influences, Stephen Hicks explains his central argument in Explaining Postmodernism: “Postmodernism is the academic far Left’s epistemological strategy for responding to the crisis caused by the failures of socialism in theory and in practice.” In other words, once socialism was discredited theoretically, economically (in several ways), historically, and ethically, those who were still ideologically committed to…

A common refrain from gun rights advocates–common because it’s true–is that gun control will work just as well as drug control has worked. After all, we just removed a dictator from Venezuela for his role in funneling cocaine into the United States. We’re still fighting the Mexican cartels to try and keep them from funneling their products onto American streets, and we have the Chinese helping the fentanyl trade. Drugs are all over the place, and despite being restricted even more tightly than guns are in many ways, we’re not doing a lot to stop…

After a long day outside leading a backcountry hut trip in Colorado’s Elk Mountains, I couldn’t hang up my ski bibs. It was 5 p.m. I was co-guiding six middle-school children on their inaugural hut trip, a culmination of an after-school backcountry program.  There was one more task: I needed to shuttle a 14-year-old to the trailhead. They had a ski competition the next morning. Fortunately, the Jones Men’s Shralpinist Recycled GORE-TEX ePE Ski Bibs were up to the workload. Throughout testing, these tenacious, sustainable bibs endured long backcountry hours and back-to-back stormy days.  In short: If you’re a splitboarder, mountaineer, or skier…
