The coolest gun I ever saw as a kid growing up was the Uzi. I never got to shoot one, but between 1980s action movies and the odd gun show, I became enamored with them, even if I’ve never had the chance to pull the trigger on one. They’re kind of a talisman, in my mind, a token of badass that I really shouldn’t ascribe to any firearm, but I can’t help it with this one. I blame the late Chuck Norris.Anyway, they’re cool.They’re not cool when the guy forcing his way into your house…
A range in New Jersey is being sued by a developer in what appears to be a land grab. The range, Iron Horse, has now responded to the allegations via a reply filing. Previously reported, Iron Horse has come under fire by a land developer. It’s alleged that the lawsuit is part of a scheme to push them out of business so that their land can be acquired. Bryn Mawr Garwood LLC v. Iron Horse R&R LLC, Dean Rea, et al. was filed in Camden County Court and has been docketed as CAM-L-002643-26. The complaint…
If you’re getting ready for a deployment, you might be wondering whether you should suspend or reduce your car insurance. In general, the best option is to reduce your coverage to comprehensive-only, which lowers your premium while maintaining coverage for damage while your car isn’t being driven. Additionally, some insurers offer special discounts that can lower your premium while you’re deployed. In this guide, we’ll explain how storage coverage works, which carriers offer storage discounts for service members, and what steps to take before you leave. Storage Insurance vs. Policy Cancellation Canceling your policy outright feels like the obvious way…
The United States’ war with Iran has caused “shortfalls in payroll” in the Navy, according to a report. The Navy has transferred money from its payroll and other sources to cover the cost of the ongoing contract, The Guardian reported Friday, citing documents and interviews with sources. It comes as the war, which began on Feb. 28, reached its six-month mark and shows no signs of de-escalating. “The Department of the Navy is actively managing its resources to meet current pay obligations on time,” a Navy spokesperson told The Guardian. “We continue to work closely with Congress to address ongoing…

Andy Parker is one of the better known figures in the gun control movement in Virginia. His daughter Alison, a TV reporter in Roanoke, was shot and killed along with videographer Adam Ward by a former colleague during a live segment on the local news back in 2015. Ever since, Parker has devoted much of his time and energy pushing for more restrictive gun laws. I don’t really blame Parker for doing so, though I don’t know what policy would have stopped his daughter’s killer from acquiring a gun given that he had never been…
President Donald Trump signed an executive order Friday launching the process of establishing a U.S. Space Academy, a new federal institution that could educate future Space Force Guardians alongside NASA engineers, scientists and other federal space professionals. Trump announced the academy Aug. 28 during a visit to NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston, comparing it with the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, the Naval Academy in Annapolis and the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs. But Trump did not create another military service academy outright. His order establishes a presidential commission with 120 days to recommend how the academy…
The Navy has announced new bonus schemes of up to $100,000 to keep specialized senior officers in the service. The Navy, in an administrative message posted on Wednesday, said chief warrant officers with between four and 16 years of commissioned service as SEALs and crewmen aboard special warfare combatant-craft should apply for the scheme, which began on Aug. 7. These roles are also known as 7151 and 7171 designations, with less than 1% of sailors holding these positions. “CWOs will receive the bonus in a lump sum payment, effective from the date of contract execution,” the Navy administrative message said.…
When violence is a problem in a community, it’s common for a mayor to call for gun control. This is especially true in anti-gun states like Vermont. Burlington is such a place, and the mayor there is such a mayor. There’s been a problem, and it does look like a problem from the outside. No question in my mind.But one resident has a problem with the mayor’s rhetoric. Reality suggests it’s not a gun issue.Burlington’s latest outbreak of violence should prompt a broader discussion about the city’s public safety system, not simply another debate over…
On the fifth anniversary of the Taliban’s capture of Kabul, Afghanistan, in August 2021, Rep. Vicente Gonzalez, D-Texas, shared publicly for the first time, alongside Army Reserve Lt. Col. Marvin “Lee” Chase, the full account of a rescue that unfolded — from Gonzalez’s perspective — almost entirely over the phone, in the middle of the night, from a hotel room in Madrid. A Vacation Interrupted Gonzalez was on his August 2021 congressional recess in Spain when a constituent from his south Texas district called to say another constituent’s husband, an Army Reserve lieutenant colonel in Afghanistan, needed help rescuing a…
The National Rifle Association is declaring victory in a federal lawsuit challenging New Mexico’s 7-day waiting period on firearm transfers after a federal judge entered his order permanently enjoining the statute from being enforced against the plaintiffs. In a statement, NRA-ILA Executive Director John Commerford hailed the decision. A right delayed is a right denied, and the court correctly held that forcing law-abiding citizens to wait after passing a background check cannot be squared with the Second Amendment. Under New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen, the NRA’s landmark 2022 case, waiting period laws…

The Trump administration on Friday asked the U.S. Supreme Court to expedite its ruling on transgender service members. The administration’s request correlates to the federal case Talbott v. USA, which challenges the U.S. military’s attempted ban on transgender personnel that could negatively impact current and former members’ abilities to serve. The administration is seeking to overturn a preliminary injunction currently protecting transgender plaintiffs from being discharged while the case is litigated. The trial is currently scheduled to begin in January 2027 in the federal district court for the District of Columbia. In this Friday, March 13, 2020, photo, Nic Talbott…
It’s always about the gun.For anti-gunners, it’s always about the firearm. If a mass shooting happens, it’s never about what the killer was into, what he did, what he believed, or anything of the sort. It’s always about the gun itself. This is despite evidence that guns really don’t cause the problems some would like to believe. And UC Davis’s Centers for Violence Prevention has found a new way to focus on the gun.The primary purpose of this project was to develop and test a new large-scale approach to threat assessment that relies on objective data regarding…
