The gun control lobby has spent a lot of time and money over the past few years trying to reinvent itself (at least in the eyes of the public) as a gun safety movement. They claim to just want “responsible gun ownership,” but their efforts make it harder be a lawful, responsible gun owner. In addition to banning commonly owned arms, the anti-gun movement pushes for laws that make exercising your right to bear arms an expensive and time-consuming process wrought with legal danger and subject to permission by the State. Then there are the constant attacks…
U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) on Wednesday announced a new task force for the U.S. military’s first one-way-attack drone squadron based in the Middle East, as part of the Defense Department’s wide-ranging push to accelerate domestic drone acquisition and implementation.The launch of the Task Force Scorpion Strike (TFSS) is designed to attain low-cost and effective drones and field them to warfighters, following Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s directive earlier this year to boost affordable drone technology. A squadron of Low-cost Unmanned Combat Attack System (LUCAS) drones are already based in the Middle East.“This new task force sets the conditions for using innovation…
Congress may soon vote on national concealed carry reciprocity. If passed, the law would require all states to recognize carry permits and, in some cases, permitless carry from every other state. Here’s what that means under the current legal landscape. How Reciprocity Works Today “Concealed carry reciprocity” refers to whether one state recognizes carry permits issued by another. The rules vary widely: Some states recognize permits from every state. Others only recognize permits from states with similar requirements, such as fingerprinting, background checks, age limits, or live-fire qualifications. At least 10 states, including California, New York, and Oregon, refuse to…
The nostalgia is strong with this one. Star Wars fans may love to complain about Disney’s direction of the sci-fi franchise, but a new gear collection from Columbia proves that this fandom still gets the coolest stuff. Columbia has been putting out limited-edition Star Wars capsules for several years. It would be easy for the brand to just slap some Rebel Alliance logos on a jacket and call it a day. Instead, Columbia’s designers have tried to channel their own force powers and make something creative each year. They’ve put out ski gear inspired by Rogue Squadron jumpsuits, Darth Vader…
A lot of people are displeased with the Department of Justice. They see mixed signals from an administration that vowed to be strong on gun rights. They see them because they’re present. The DOJ will defend gun rights one day, and oppose them the next. It’s kind of causing a certain degree of whiplash. But as I noted on Tuesday at the above link, purity was probably never going to happen.For what it’s worth, though, Larry Keane of the NSSF is pretty happy with what’s happening overall.President Donald Trump signed his Presidential Executive Order Protecting…
Certain military retirees who buy dental insurance through the Federal Employees Dental and Vision Insurance Program (FEDVIP) must choose a new plan for 2026 or be dropped from their dental coverage.FEDVIP allows military retirees to purchase dental coverage and active-duty families, and those enrolled in Tricare Reserve Select, to purchase vision coverage. FEDVIP offered plans from 12 dental carriers in 2025, one of which, the regional carrier HealthPartners Dental, will not be part of FEDVIP in 2026.“As a result, all enrollments in HealthPartners Dental will end on December 31, 2025. If … you wish to keep your FEDVIP dental coverage in…
Earlier today Tom Knighton covered the not-so-great news about the number of NICS checks performed on firearm transfers during Thanksgiving week, which were down about 13% compared to last year. One state that bucked the trend, though, is Virginia. The National Shooting Sports Foundation reports the state was among the top five across the country for both NICS checks in general and NICS checks on the transfer of long guns; a surge NSSF’s Mark Oliva attributes to concerns about a sweeping semi-auto ban coming as soon as the Democrats take complete control of state government…
The United States ruling class just announced that it will soon start bombing Venezuela’s land mass. The U.S. military has conducted a number of deadly attacks on boats it claims were linked to Venezuelan-led narcotics smuggling. These attacks amounted to war crimes. But now the “land strikes” announced by Trump will surely be seen as an act of war. U.S. ruler Donald Trump said that the military would soon start bombing alleged drug cartel targets on land. He made the comment to reporters in a cabinet meeting on Tuesday. The announcement comes amid a massive US military buildup in the…
In another edition of the right hand not knowing what the left hand is doing, at the same time the U.S. Department of Justice is arguing to limit the ruling on post office carry, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) has published a proposed rule that would make it easier to transport National Firearms Act (NFA) items across state lines. Under current federal law, a gun owner must fill out an ATF Form 5320.20, Application to Transport Interstate or to Temporarily Export Certain National Firearms Act (NFA) Firearms (Form 20) in advance of the travel dates. It…

I can’t say that I was overly fond of many of my teachers when I was a kid. It wasn’t anything personal; it was just that they were teachers, and they made me do things I didn’t want to do, like math. The nerve of it all. Still, as annoying as they could be, and as much glee as I might have felt at imagining some kind of mishap to occur to them after they made a thing of me not having my homework yet again, I never would have actually thought about harming them…
John Lott’s book, More Guns, Less Crime, about gun ownership and violence, has proven true over and over again since the original edition was published back in 1998. That’s why anti-gun advocates hate Lott so much—no matter how many lies they tell, he’s still right when all the numbers are crunched. Such is the case in King County, Washington. And it’s a story that likely wouldn’t be told if that County didn’t also serve as home to the pro-gun rights group Citizens Committee to Keep and Bear Arms (CCRKBA). As CCRKBA leaders recently pointed out, news outlets in Seattle have…
On the surface, today’s Associated Press report about a significant decline in mass killings could be seen as a rare example of a mainstream press outlet not trying to scare its readers about “gun violence.” The AP’s headline, “Mass killings in 2025 in the US hit the lowest level since 2006” is unquestionably good news, and its lede is also straightforward in its reporting. A shooting last weekend at a children’s birthday party in California that left four dead was the 17th mass killing this year — the lowest number recorded since 2006, according to a…
About a quarter of U.S. service members and veterans who start psychotherapy for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) quit before they finish treatment, according to a recent study, with experts pushing for more effective long-term approaches to sustain mental health treatments.The study, titled “The Protocol Matters: A Meta-analysis of Psychotherapy Dropout from Specific PTSD Treatment Approaches in U.S. Service Members and Veterans,” was published in mid-November in the journal Psychological Trauma: Theory, Research, Practice, and Policy through the American Psychological Association.It examined treatment methodologies for the approximate 7% of veterans affected by PTSD, per the Department of Veterans Affairs, which represents a number…
By Mossberg Press Release O.F. Mossberg & Sons, Inc. is proud to announce that it has been awarded a contract for approximately $11.6 million dollars to supply the U.S. Army with additional Mossberg 590A1 pump-action shotguns. First adopted by multiple branches of the U.S. Military in 1987, the Mossberg 590 proved its reliability and durability by successfully completing the rigorous MIL-SPEC 3443E testing protocol.Following its adoption, the U.S. Military requested a purpose-built variant capable of withstanding sustained, high-volume use in the most demanding environments. That requirement led directly to the development of the Mossberg 590A1 — a strengthened,…
This article was originally published by Rhoda Wilson at The Exposé. Dr. Vernon Coleman first became aware of the censoring of citizens by the British state in the 1970s and 1980s. In the 1980s, he wrote a good deal about the AIDS hoax, which the establishment didn’t like, and culminated in his book ‘The Health Scare’ being banned. “AIDS was the first attempt to control the world with a pandemic. And it was the similarity between the way AIDS was promoted and the way the coronavirus hoax was being promoted, which helped me understand the truth about COVID right at…
As winter approaches, many people across the Northern hemisphere are preparing for winter and engaging in their customary winterizing chores.Screens are coming down and storm windows are going up; doors, windows and electric sockets are checked for air leaks and sealed; furnace filters are replaced, chimneys swept clean, and the summer clothes are exchanged for winter clothes in the closets.A common-sense approach to managing heat in winter is defined by 3 things: insulation, conservation and prioritization.Want to save this post for later?
