This article was originally published by George Ford Smith at The Mises Institute. In his 1982 article, “Monetary Policy: Theory and Practice,” Nobel laureate Milton Friedman—no friend of gold—said that, If a domestic money consists of a commodity, a pure gold standard or cowrie bead standard, the principles of monetary policy are very simple. There aren’t any. The commodity money takes care of itself. (emphasis added) It takes care of itself. Consider that thought for a moment, then ask yourself why we’ve had politically-appointed bureaucrats running the money and banking system since 1914? With commodity money, exclusively under the control of a free market,…
The Supreme Court should be a playground for gun rights advocates at the moment. With a strong majority of justices supporting the right to keep and bear arms, we shouldn’t have a problem clearing house of all the unconstitutional gun control laws, even with Rahimi as part of the precedents that the Court will need to consider. The problem is that far too few gun control challenges are making it before the Court. While there are some set for later this year, there are other massive cases that have passed on in the recent past.Most…

Ousted Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro was defiant during his appearance in a Manhattan courtroom on Monday, saying that he still considers himself the leader of the nation and that the United States “kidnapped” him and his wife.Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, were seized from their home in Caracas over the weekend and are among six defendants named in a four-count U.S. Department of Justice indictment. They are accused of trafficking drugs, including “transporting thousands of tons of cocaine to the United States,” as well as conspiring with drug traffickers to benefit his and his family’s coffers. An armored vehicle…
There are firearms, and there are firearm-shaped objects. The latter of these are those that look like guns but aren’t meant to fire a projectile via explosive action. This includes things like cap pistols, airsoft guns, BB and pellet guns, and non-firing replicas. Firearm-shaped objects aren’t regulated like firearms, nor should they be. Millions of people use them for peaceful, lawful purposes, much like firearms, but because they’re not regulated, we’re looking at orders of magnitude more of them in private hands over the decades.They’re for fun, and they’re not intended to hurt people.But some…
Finally, an affordable off-road sports car. It’s called the Kuhl Outroad GR86, and it’s the RWD alternative to a Porsche 911 Dakar or Lamborghini Sterrato with a few zeros cut from the price tag. This Time, GR Stands for Gravel-Ready (Photo/Kuhl-Japan) At its heart, this is Toyota’s GR86 sports car lifted and made more rugged. It’s an answer to the Safari-style rough-road sports cars that have been growing in popularity. Only, instead of a European exotic, it’s built by a Japanese tuning shop that has plenty of experience putting body kits on slammed cars we’ve never seen before on this…
In case you haven’t heard, there’s been quite a commotion in the 3D printed-2nd Amendment (3D2A) world, a hand cranked, belt-fed, 3D printed minigun. Dubbed the M1337, this project is the brainchild of a 3D2A enthusiast known only as “Nopel”. The following is an email interview I conducted with Nopel. It is extremely text heavy, so I’ll try to break it up with pictures. I have made a couple small edits for typos and spelling, not for content. The term 3D printed/2nd Amendment (3D2A) is used extensively to describe printed gun parts and accessories. An evening (email) with Nopel: Tell…
The mainstream media has a real thing for gun tracing. They’re quick to quote anti-gunners, both activists and politicians, who say that so-called ghost guns are a problem because they can’t be traced. This supposedly deprives law enforcement of a serious tool they need. Of course, no one has ever found a case that’s been broken by gun tracing, and even if there is one, the truth is that tracing only really works to find the original buyer.This was just illustrated rather well in a report about how the tracing of the Brown University shooter’s…
Multiple U.S. military bases are slated to have their chiropractic services restored this year, benefiting upwards of 400 active-duty or Guard/Reserve service members per base.This is due to an amendment to the 2026 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) that was introduced by House Rep. Greg Steube (R-FL) and ultimately passed both chambers of Congress, calling for the reopening of any previously closed chiropractic clinic on a military installation in addition to paying chiropractors under the General Schedule base pay scale.The amendment calls for the director of the Defense Health Agency to develop and submit a report on the process to…
In the aftermath of the attack on Venezuela, U.S. ruler Donald Trump has not only threatened to take over Greenland. He also said that a raid on the Latin American country Colombia “sounds good.” Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One on Sunday, Trump said Colombia is “run by a sick man,” referring to President Gustavo Petro, whom he labeled a “drug leader.” The U.S. president suggested that Petro, whom he sanctioned last year, could be removed from power too. “Colombia is very sick… run by a sick man who likes making cocaine and selling it to the United States. And he’s not…
Duck hunting is demanding work. Early mornings, gear maintenance, and a long to-do list to execute a perfect hunt are all part of the deal. Usually, you’re doing it in frigid, wet conditions. Sometimes it all comes together, and other times it’s a complete bust. Yes, it’s fun, but anyone saying it’s not work clearly hasn’t spent much time doing it. Due to the harsh conditions, waterfowl equipment has to be perfect. I mean, on the face of it, you plan on crawling around a soaking wet swamp, ideally during the first part of a wintertime cold front. It’s hard…
New Hampshire could become the twelfth state to open college and university campuses to lawful concealed carry this year, and the recent shooting at Brown University is providing supporters of a campus carry bill with a timely argument in favor of passage. Brown is a “gun-free zone”, but that didn’t stop Claudio Neves Valente from bringing two 9mm pistosl onto campus and shooting up a classroom, killing two students and injuring nine others. The primary sponsor of the Live Free or Die State’s campus carry legislation says policies that prevent legal gun owners from lawfully…

Out where the road turns to dust and the next town might be two days’ ride, a rifle isn’t a conversation piece. It’s a decision. After the Civil War, the country was full of guns that still belonged to the old rhythm. One shot. Reload slow. Hope nothing goes sideways while your hands are busy. That system works fine in theory and clean conditions. The frontier was neither. The Winchester Model 1866 showed up not as a legend, but as a fix. It took the repeating rifle from “clever idea” to “workhorse you can live with.” It did it with…
In a potentially unprecedented accident, a helicopter crashed this weekend after flying into a slackline in Arizona, resulting in the deaths of all four people on board. On Jan. 2, emergency services received reports of a helicopter crash in Telegraph Canyon, a popular hiking and OHV area, according to a statement from the Pinal County Sheriff’s Office. First responders to the scene confirmed four deaths from the helicopter crash. No one was on the slackline at the moment of the accident. “An eyewitness who called 911 reported seeing the helicopter strike a portion of the line before falling to the…
Florida should have the most gun-friendly laws in the country. They’ve got a Republican supermajority in the legislature and a very pro-Second Amendment governor, at least for one more year. Gun rights organizations and pro-gun legislators should have been about to run roughshod over their opposition and made the state an oasis for firearms rights. Instead, they’ve got some absolutely ridiculous laws on the books that prevent legal adults from exercising their rights at all, a red flag law, and a host of other weird things that need to go away.On the flip side, you…
